Are you a leecher?

[tbl]

It depends on your upload speed. It is unrealistic to expect people with 128kbits/second (which only equals about 16kbytes/second) to seed over 100%.

Personally I try to keep an average ratio of 1:1. This is easy when I download something overnight.

[Daunting]

I try my best to keep up a good ratio. Haven't deleted a torrent in about 2 weeks, but a lot of the files I download are pretty obscure stuff, so to get a swarm with even 5 leechers is a difficulty a lot of times. For the sake of community though I like seeing a ratio of 40. on gig sized file. Makes me feel like I'm doin' my part.

All torrents by default I'll leave to seed to 200-300%. Private sites I'll usually leave indefinitely...

[_RaGe_]

I can only upload at 25 kb's so I always try to go like 1.3% or more but sometimes it's really hard.

[Hanz™]

I plan to seed 500% on some stuff on OiNK. It's going to take months though!
Most of my seeds are at over ratio 1 right now.

seed till my speed drops to near 20kb/s

[WhoopDeDoo]

I don't have a set amount, I just seed till I feel enough people have it to continue. I only have two private torrent accounts (TL and Demonoid), TL with a 4.873 ratio and Demonoid with a 2.52 ratio. So I like to consider myself a pretty decent seeder.

i seed until the torrent is dead hehe

[Nemesis®]

well to say it truthfully YES I'm a leecher,, of FTP,News,IRC NOT torrent because I don't use torrent for my main downloads. I do on the other hand seed on many sites helping where I can plus building creds so when I do find something rare I can just grab it with no issues other than hard drive space . My seeds run until no one takes any more from me for 24 hours and lately it's been pissing me off because so many torrents die off so quick, even on FTN. I have to keep cycling new torrents to get KBs taken from me UNLIKE FTP that takes until you stop it. TL and TB are pretty steady though. Most of them hit anywhere from 5 - 50 to 1 before they're really dead. TL and TB stay up and running for quite a while, wish all of them did. As far as I'm concerned if it's taking 10 or more KBs I'd leave it running for ever beings my p2p box stays up 24-7 heh all of them do.

If I were able to leave a 25 or so torrents running at a time then there'd be no problem, one would die while the others pick up and so on but either my ISP or modem won't stand for it, if I run more than 10 the dam modem will constantly disconnect till I shut them down under 10.


I noticed on a few of the trackers that had freeleech had a lot of problems with people doing that lame ass hit n run crap NOW That's uncalled for, that's almost as bad as lame ass cheaters
I can understand it when the site doesn't have enough leechers to make the 1 to 1 quota but so what just leave the dam thing running for 72 hours and your done. To many locations on the net to get shit full leech and much faster than torrent so there's no reason you have to rely on them for ALL your releases. Tracking can be just as much fun as using the stuff you get just takes patience!!

I think, like most folk i'm more committed to seeding on private trackers... Although i'm thoughful when there's only a couple of peers/seeds left...
