Re: Help Again...

^^ Good advice.

As for how long to leave the the torrents on your active list, if you use Azureus or uTorrent (and some other programs), it will keep track of the seeds/leechers on several torrents for you. Basically, when you see that noone wants the show anymore, that is a good time to archive the shows to DVD and delete them from your harddrive. Some people will simply wait until they get a 1:1 ratio (or 2:1, or whatever) ratio and then figure they've done enough and delete the torrent at that point. It's really up to you and your harddrive to determine how long you can keep a show around on your harddrive. (Also, don't forget that if you do burn the flacs to DVD/CD and later see that someone is stuck, you just have to copy that folder back onto your harddrive, download the torrent file again, and point the torrent to that folder and you will go back into seed mode.)
