Are you a leecher?

that's right, but the others won't get such great download-speed if everybody stops seeding at 100%, and that's what many people like about anti-leech-trackers.

I usually also seed 500%+ if there's many people downloading

I'm trying to push the 150% limit, but it's not so easy with an ADSL 512/128kb upload

I am going out of a leecher.. try to increasing my ratio....

I seed way more than I leech!

If you seed that much, then you're not letting other users keep a good ratio

I've got to be honest, using torrents I find it hard to maintain a 1-1 ratio, because there's always another killer download the next day to knock your 0.99 ratio you've just spent 24 hrs improving back to 0.91 or something - I've been playing this game now for months, really annoying :/

Doesn't help when most residential broadband connections are asynchronous though, when I was on NTL 10mbit cable server my download was 20x faster than my upload. Least on my current connection its only 4x faster...

I find most users with slower broadband connections usually get stuff from another site/place and seed it on their favourite tracker to build up a nice ratio. Case in point ScT, where majority of the time only people with 100mbit connections leech.
