Re: Should we ban thoughtless leechers?
The only thing I can add to this is to remember there are people like me who have an ISP that insanely throttles upload speed.
It will take me on average about a week to upload a DVDs worth of material. That's a big part of the reason I stick mostly to audio shows. Occasionally though I find a DVD that I just can't pass up. It often will take me a month or more to "catch up" if there aren't many leechers after I get the show.
Add in that for some reason the shows I go for usually aren't the most recent or most popular and my seeding chances are often very low.
Just something to think about. I hope to get FiOS in my area eventually and can move to an insane upload pipeline but until then I have to limp along at my craptastic speeds and hope like hell I can keep my share above 1.0 but I really, REALLY have to work at it to do so.
