Anyone else totally FED UP of seedbox users?

[jars]

I'm very appreciative of torrenters that rent seedboxes as it means I get what I want faster. They're still sharing after all. I'm quite happy to seed as much as I can for as long as I can with my mediocre upload speed in my role of sharing.

Seedboxes FTW ... they get my connection maxed out time and time again.

And the ones without seedboxes should learn what torrents to download and which not. If everybody knew what to download there wouldn't be such topics like this.

I guess many people are happy when they can download at full speed, but when they have to make a little effort and seed, they suddenly become FED UP.

Surley you download what you want to download, and not what you dont want.

Which is 1/2 the problem with seedboxes, they download just for the sake of the buffer, they probably never watch/play/listen to half the stuff.

I don't agree with that at all.If a person is a member at a site they should be able to download any file that they choose without resorting to games .
So many people spend too much time and effort downloading garbage that they have no genuine interest in just to maintain ratio,

And I am not talking about certain trackers like ScT that you go in with your eyes wide open .I am talking about the run of the mill ones that seem to be getting harder to seed at everyday.

Or maybe I'm just a socialist at heart and I believe that everyone should be more or less equal.( I readying for the inevitable "but I pay a lot for a speedbox so why should I carry on my back those people who are too poor or cheap to do the same". Only answer would be because no one is forcing you to have a seedbox and looking out for the interests of others is always the right thing to do )

You've been answered better than I could have answered you, Disme.

Just one thing to add, I didn't take you for a Rank hunter. Guess I was wrong.

Maybe you are right, but I've always adopted the principle that I don't download the things I know I cannot get a decent ratio on. Or I try to build some kind of buffer for a long time with my home connection and than I go ahead and download what I want and let it seed for as long as I can (which is basically ages).

I tend to be rather pragmatic with the seedbox issue ... I just got used to it during the many years I've been sharing files.
I do understand it can be frustrating for people that have never kniwn anything but free downloads, but I grew up in a time where people actually had to buy the things (music/games/appz/movies/etc) they wanted and that makes me humble when seeing what is available for free these days.

People with seedboxes may make it harder for others without seedboxes to download and seed, but I do think many people take the right to download way to 'for granted'.

It's just like in real life ... not everyone is able to build a huge house or drive a Ferrari (cliché, I know) ... in a nutshell ... life sometimes sucks, virtual life included.

I might have given you the wrong impression, but I did mean I like seedboxes because they max out my download-speed, not my upload-speed .
It's upload that is required to obtain rank on a tracker, not download.

I'm on a limited connection, meaning I can download/upload a certain amount/per month). Over the years I have gotten bigger and bigger quota and as we speak I have 200GB/month (download and upload), but there was a time where I had 15 GB download and 1,5 upload.

That is one of the reasons I am not really concerned with the seedbox issue, I've always had to be carefull what files to get and which not.

I consider my biggest power the fact I can seed something for years if I want, and i have done and still do at present.

[The_Martinator]

Ah, now I get it. Where I live there is no limits on how much you can upload/download. Just lousy speeds, lol (at least in my area).

i'm going to rent my 1st box next week. i heard that with a good box you can even send 10TB in one single month. it's a lot. off course it makes it harder for other users, but i spend 30€ and i dont have to worry about ratio for years! it's a great deal, much better than donate to sites to not be banned because my ratio is too low. seedbox is great deal if u know how use it.

Thats no good if everyone gets a seedbox and no one donates and the tracker goes down.

and your buffer goes down the pan with it.
