Conversely, if you're share ratio is over 1:1 you are making it impossible for someone out there to have a ratio above 1:1. And since you've uploaded 560 gigs more than you've downloaded - that's 560 gigs that someone else couldn't upload - because you hogged the upload pipe.

You are literally responsible for several dozen sub 1:1 SRs here at TTD.

For obvious reasons, I am guilty of the same thing. But I NEVER bitch about share ratios. I've got a fat pipe (max upload is 11 megs/sec) and I gladly use it t give out terabytes of music. I download as much as I reasonably expect I can listen/watch, but obviously, I can't even begin to download enough to match my upload capability.

I say just feel fortunate that you've got a fat pipe that allows you to share the jams and don't worry about others.

Side Note to Lynne: Is there anyway I can donate 50 or 100 GB chunks of my share ratio to people in need? I damn sure don't need but a tiny fraction of what I've accumulated.
