IAE an asshole that never seeds torrents?

mrpappy

You are an arsehole.

hmmmn... Very much depends on what tracker. Open trackers like when downloading from thepiratebay: No seeding. A private tracker where I want to stay a member of (like what): Hell yeah, I seed.

here we go, asshole like you that make public trackers slow.

On public trackers. Sharing is caring. Peace out!

(puts on mask so no one recognizes identity)

Yep. sorry. :-(

Malabo

Not being an expert on torrenting terminology.

I'll upload equal or more of the file size I just downloaded, if it has to go much past finishing the download, then Ill stop.

I like to think I did my part by sharing what I just got.

surrealasm

P2P: ur doin it wrong!

DaimyoNoNeko

No, I seed to 1.5, sometimes 2x. There's a special place reserved in hell for non seeders, below the one for child molesters and people who talk in theaters.

bullx2

Im a asshole who just seeded his front and back yard...didn't see none of them torrents youz talkin bout"

My isp takes uploads off my downloads quota which forces me to have to slow it down to 5ks upload. The sad thing is that it is the australian isp that recently won a landmark case.

SmartAssX

Demonoid yes

everything else no

Orsenfelt

Wether I seed depends on the torrent. Just aired TV Shows with tens of thousands of seeds? Hell naw.

Obscure torrents with 3 seeds? I'll seed that.

dowjones

I have a symmetric connection and by the time I finish downloading something on a public tracker my ratio is already 5-20.

Once I left a movie torrent on when I went on a holiday, came back and my ratio was 800. Thanks, assholes.

shredGNAR

After getting a letter in the mail for seeding, I stopped.

sbussy89

From what I understand downloading is legal but distributing is illegal, so as soon as I'm done downloading and am only distributing I GTFO.

trukin

Deluge, when ration hits 0.01 and it is downloaded, autostop!!! :D. My ISP has caught me twice because of seeding after being done

Raticide

My data transfer is expensive. So I can't afford to seed.

Kontraption

While I dont download them straight away I usualy delete them after a bit of uploaded. 0.4 ratio

pajmode

I only do when I am downloading. But once my download is done, fuck em'...I turn that shit off in a hurry.

norwegianrich

nope, my ratio matters.

nicolauz

Arsehole ! I wish I knew how to share more...on my demonoid account it says my ratio is waaaay low and I can't figure out how to share more...

batnom

My uploads get counted towards my downloads, so no I don't seed at all. Australia FTL.

golden_pants

Optus cable internet in Australia counts uploads, so I'm very sorry but I don't.

rogerssucks

My 25 GB bandwidth does not allow this. :(

daniel2009

I try to give at least half before deleting the torrent. http://imgur.com/sMASI.png

Nikola434

Well, I mostly keep seeding over night but I don't help people as much as some can. My upload speed is ~12kb/s but I do my best....

branded

I'm an arsehole, but I never call others arseholes because I don't want my files the minute it comes out.

lavaargh

It depends on the torrent. I won't seed for weeks, but if I download a new TV episode, my upload ratio for that torrent is probably >10. If I download something more rare, like an old game, and I see no leechers, I just delete the torrent. This is on public trackers and DHT.

My ISP has a "fair use policy", so I won't upload hundreds of gigabytes per month. But on the bright side, downloading copyrighted content will not get me arrested; and if I don't use too much bandwidth I won't get disconnected from the Internet.

Chevellephreak

Hell yes, I delete them too.

dkramer73

I used to be a leacher (yes, I can admit it - and yes, I suck), but I have been trying to mend my ways the past few months and have been letting things seed to 1:1.

I seed both as much as possible.

yerajerk

Nice try, MPAA.

razzbar

Not me. I'm just a normal guy who doesn't seed them because he never uses them.

atomicthumbs

I would seed more if I wasn't sharing a 1.5mbps DSL connection with three other people, one of whom is constantly playing video games and starts yelling when he starts lagging

icymintoptimos

only on public trackers

jayknow05

I seed while I download, I have awful interwebs (hotwire blah), so I usually leave torrents running over night. I wake up to a 1x or greater ratio and cut it off at that point.

chaloux

Depends on if I believe in what I'm seeding is worth it, as well as the seed/peer ratio. If it's a ridiculously huge torrent and my UL rate is slow anyway, I'll quit before. If it needs seeds and is something that is hard to find, I'll seed well over 1:1.

Torrents I've personally uploaded I'll seed forever, and periodically check to see if there are still a good amount of seeds.

barosa

I've been leeching since the days when IRC fserves were the easiest way to download warez, music and vids

Confucius_says

private tracker - I'll seed to a 1:1 ratio, simply because if I don't I won't be able to download things

public tracker - I never seed after I finish downloading, simply because I want to use that upstream bandwidth to seed a private tracker.

I have a server set up that handles all of the torrenting so I'm not looking at it often enough to pull my torrents before they are done seeding. Usually I start a torrent, forget about it for a couple days come back and it's done seeding. Then I sort everything into my library and remove it from the torrent list. Sometimes though if I'm downloading something I want to use right away I'll be that guy, mostly though because I don't want to leave the file in my incoming folder, I want to file it away promptly so I have less clutter to deal with.

kyleisagod

I try to upload as much if not more than I download.

The problem that I am faced with 9 times out of 10 is my upload speed is utter shit compared to my download speed. If I get 40 KB/s upload speed but 500 KB/s download speed and I'm downloading a 700 MB movie, it's going to take forever and a day to get my ratio back to 1:1.

That's why I rarely seed.

I don't seed... that's how you get caught.

I would like more info on these private communities, though... I'd be happy to provide if there was a level of security that I won't be getting a call from "The Man" over my providing Anchorman for download

deepestbluedn

In good private trackers I seed as much as I can, on shitty trackers (where people donate for credit) i just delete them and us e program I made to cheat my ratio.

audiotechnica

Yep. I use Usenet.
