Are you a leecher?

**j0hn** · 04-21-2006, 06:50 AM

yes its impossible for everyone to have 1.0
especially with the retards on private trackers who have 10.0+ ratios
it stops the rest of us uploading what we need to to maintain our own ratios.
saying that, i still think leechers/hit and runners even it out somewhat. more so on public trackers.
so if u try hard enough, i really see no reason why 1.05 is not achieveable by all

i hit and run

its not like i know any of the people on bittorrent. Its a waste of my time to seed. I have a life.

if everyone did that, u wouldnt be able to download.

yea, cos u need to sit and watch for hours while it seeds?
its 100% no effort what so ever to leave ur client open, and use the bandwidth u've already paid ur isp for, to share a little.

i have a life too, and also dont know who im seeding to. but it doesnt waste any of my time to do so.

I only seed about 10-50%, but if I can I will more usually. My mom always logs me off the computer so I cant really seed more than that.. :[ I try to keep at least a 0.5 ratio... I wish I could be those guys that seed over 100%. Sometimes I do. But I wish I could all the time.

On public trackers I try to seed back to at least a 1:1 ratio or 1.5, do something good for everyone in general.

I almost always seed more than 500% on torrents that are less than 6gb, if they are bigger than that i at least seed to 150%.

**Hermiod** · 05-30-2006, 03:39 PM

On average I get to 120%, but it depends a lot. Some files just dont get past 30% while others go easily to 500%. Small files (less than 1m mb) i've managed to get to 1200%

Also, why state extremes situations no one's ever going to encounter? The largest files people download do not even come close to 60GB. So think before you choose a ludicrous number.

I have DSL 768K, which is perfectly capable of handling approx. 5 uploads at any given time with enough bandwidth conserved for other internet activities.

And I don't appreciate being called an idiot, so I must say that you are pitifully pathetic if you aren't capable to rationalize your insults and post more than one-word affronts.

Extreme situations? try getting 500% on anything at oink. there's currently 70,982 users encountering that 'extreme situation', which I believe is a few more than 'no one'.

also, there's currently a 40.68GB torrent at oink, and there used to be one well over 100GB.
