Is that right?

How *IS* this stuff really calculated, anyway?



It doesn't *really* matter here! Other than some well-placed more or less well meaning messing around with some comments, they don't count towards or against much of anything here. They're a good indication to you whether or not you're doing a good job of sharing back the stuff you downloaded. Just keep seeding! Don't worry! You're doing great!
