Yeah apparently a lot of people do. Over at the SubDemon forums I've seen a lot of users over mention they've had things either finishing up (not so much lately, obviously) or have had their torrents going the whole time, checking the tracker often. I deleted mine as soon as I saw the site start to go down as I was browsing it, thinking that I might get my IP logged by the police or some antipiracy group (I had just started downloading a few of the latest ups).
