    I actually meant 'seeding' the torrent at site 'B', as in - downloading the actual 'torrent file' from site 'B' but replacing the files(movie/music) with the 100% completed ones from site 'A'

    Thus not adding to anymore of site 'B's download score, but improving the upload score.

    It seems a bit cheeky, but both sites benifit really, as long as the ratio for the torrent on site 'A' is kept above 1:1

    ive done exactly this with some harder to seed sites,.my SCT ratio is mostly built on content i downloaded elsewhere where i had already built a big buffer.

    The reason I was asking this was I didn't want a new account banning if the admin looked and saw loads of upload with very little/no download, perhaps it would look like cheating or something?

    it's not exactly something that reduces the overseeding problem though.

    the more people do it - the harder it is to keep your ratio - the more people do it.

    i usually dl and ul on the same sites.


    the whole thing shouldn't be encouraged too much.

    i did site racing as well, but i'm much too comfortable for it nowadays

    All of my site ratios are pretty well off but now I use alot of NG's too so I can easily get the file there and UL it to torrent sites no prob.

    i used to do it and still [but not that much] do it

    btw, some people who download a file from site 'A' and seed it over 'B' only look at torrent file name and size. However, it's important to make sure every file match up same otherwise it will give you error on file being seeded on site 'A'. If torrent from site 'A' and 'B' are of same size (say 4.80 GB) then of course files with more than 1+ MB will be identical...so where it often differers is small files (in kB)...often those files happen to be .nfo...and they might differ from site 'A' to site 'B'...so what i usually do [before i start seeding in site 'B'] is that i skip files less in kB.

    Have fun seeding!
