Do try to get on a couple of torrents early and stay on them until you've given
back more than you have taken.

Here's a real novel concept: try starting a torrent with a show you recorded
or grabbed in a trade. This would also help your ratio.....
Thanks for the info. I really love the den and definitely want to give back. I started out taking large video torrents and didn't understand to leave the torrent open after it finished downloading which I've since learned. I think your first point has been my problem as I tend to go after older torrents. By getting on torrents early do you mean I should be taking shows which appear on the first page even if I have no interest in the show? Unfortunately I don't have the necessary equipment to tape my own shows and go that route.
