Do you Hit n' Run on public trackers

[lilpiggie]

After reading various threads about how much people seed or don't seed I though it could be fun to know if people Hit n' Run or if they stay to seed when they grab something from a public tracker.

So what do you do outside the private trackers, and why? And when you're at it what would you download from the public trackers, if anything?

Used public in the very beginning but not anymore. So. . . I guess I 2 can't answer this question

I used public trackers a lot in the past
The speed were so bad that by the time I finished download I had already uploaded 1:1

The upload speed is usually maxed out and the download speed is about 5kB/s if its even downloading at all.

I sometimes use public torrent sites, i try to upload about 1:1 always i use it.

Well I think that it matters in some way, because if no one seeds on the public trackers the torrents will die very quick! Personally I download many linux distros, and stay to seed thinking if everybody hit and runs nobody else is going to get it at a decent speed or even get it at all.

Sometimes I use public trackers on very rare files now that Demonoid is down. I seed for the courtesy of the other people who are leeching the same file as me. As I know it's rare to find.

^ what he said. Anything thats rare, i will grab off publics, and just seed since it usually only has 1 seeder or something. tho i usually hit 1:1 (that is i have uploaded total torrent size) before the torrent finishes
