    Because some people can't help but take bittorrent seriously.

    If you don't believe me that's fine just stop complaining because you can't manage a ratio.
    Well sheesh, do I need to spell everything out for you? You're taking all of Idol's and my words far too literally. Even the slightest ability to read between the lines would go leaps and bounds.

    Question. And by question, I meant a rhetorical question. Idol doesn't know how you could've managed such a buffer without the use of a seedbox. By saying so, he states it as if it a question but isn't expecting an answer as he implied by the way he wrote it that he already knows the answer. Ie, he is posing a rhetorical question.

    In addition, congratulations on nitpicking one of the least consequential parts of my post while failing to admit that you competely misread Idol's post.

    And yes, Fastsh.it has everything to do with your credibility. And by credibility I don't literally mean your trustworthiness, but your credibility in defending an argument that it is easy to seed on BMTV with a home connection. I don't believe for a second, that being the owner of a decently prominent seedbox provider, you never used a seedbox to seed at BMTV and contribute to your absurd buffer (and even if you started fastsh.it after you had a substantial buffer, my point still stands. You clearly need a lot of past experience to manage a decent amount of seedboxes on shared servers and VPSs, it had to come from somewhere).

    If that was his question I already answered it. Long term seeding. I seeded my very first BMTV torrent up until about 2 months ago. And I did it initially from my home ADSL connection, unmetered upload though at 1mbit speeds. If you stay on torrents long enough regardless of speed you will earn huge rewards. Partial season seeding, also hugely beneficial and outlined in the FAQ on the site to maintaining a good ratio.

    I never claimed that I haven't used a seedbox on BMTV, because I have and do so now since I've switched ISP's many times and moved house. And it has contributed, my buffer is somewhere in excess of 6TB now instead of 1-2TB. But the fact remains unchanged that the first 1TB buffer and then some came off the back of long hours seeding and patient leeching on a home ADSL connection. I guess you could contribute the 40-80GB monthly download quota to the lack of leeching, and the free upload and endless seeding to the buffer. Had there been no limit to my download I guess I would have been greedy and less patient, ruining any ratio I had.

    It's generally recognized fact that BMTV is one of the hardest trackers to keep ratio (seed GBs, etc), mainly because of those f*ckin' seedboxes. Who is an idiot is usually one that can't admit the facts and do nothing but call everyone around idiots.
    Generally, it's not impossible to gain 1tb with home connection of course, you just gotta seed hell of amount of torrents for a long time, well that method does the trick on practically any tracker. However that amount should be downloaded somehow too, without being banned for low ratio

    Like Rart said questions can be implied I would have thought that any idiot would know that.

    And also before the use of seedboxes were the exception and not the norm on places like the one we are talking about here .Not to mention back then BitMeTV as people have attempted to point out to you seemingly with ( as with everything else ) much success , had this particular playing field much more to itself ( the whole gist of the original post actually ) .

    Anyway c'est la vie.The only thing that I really care about in this thread is your boorish insistence on referring to other people, who you frankly know nothing about , as "idiots" .
    If I was of like simplicity as yourself I could just as easily state that I have found those that discuss seedboxes on this site to overwhelming fall into the "idiot" category if not by intelligence then by demeanor but since I'm not ,I shalln't.

    That btw was a statement.

    f*ckin' seedboxes? . Your argument is like this: Since my home connection is XX then anyone doing better than me is making it hard for ME to seed. Well, obviously. But if you have a HOME 50 Mbit/s connection, you are making it harder for anyone with a 3 Mbit/s, and those are making it hard for dial up user.

    So either trackers make all users go dial up, so that those with dial up don't feel left behind, or accept as the fact that home users will need to have a different seeding strategy as they do now (the successful ones anyone).

    I don't see 100 Mbit/s seedbox users complain about gigabit seedbox users, by the way. This is a hobby, and as a hobby some people will want to spend just a bit on it (maybe their home connection, however slow it is), some will spend a bit more and for some it's just a passion and they will spends lots of money as long as it's fun for them.

    If you don't want a seedbox - that's fine, don't get one. But either seed for a long time (which is great, it helps keep deep archives) or realize that some trackers are not just for you. There are lot of trackers for more casual users, what's wrong with them?

    Please guys. According to Six66Mike this simply isn't true. And incase you skipped this part, he is ridiculously sick of reading about it. So I would highly appreciate it, for his sake, that everyone would stop spreading this lie.

    What about the ones that distribute them?

    I don't know how to respond since my already precarious toehold on reality has been severely shaken by your apparent move to the Darkside. vader.gif
