Wow, I had always thought most people with amazing ammounts of GB uploaded used webseeding.

I find that if I dl/ul simultaneously, the ul is slower.
To me that always seemed to be with cable and not DSL.

Re: Should we ban thoughtless leechers?

I too use a cable modem and just dedicate myself to sharing...it's about the choices we make, not the money and resource we have...I could upload at 1mb/sec and it wouldn't mean shit if I didn't open a friggin window to use it...these people who whine about what their "capable" of are runnin on the same power as me (for the most part) and are barkin up the wrong tree...it may not be the case in the sack, but around here, it's not the size that counts...it's how you use it

I find now that I'm restriced to about 50k (still fighting with Time Warner) I don't like to upload as much, because it takes longer to get people over the top and the burden is on me the whole time...with dvds being 4gb give or take (not to mention multi-discs) it takes a lot of time, effort and resource to remain a constant seed for the duration...but I'll still open a window on the stuff I dl for sure...but I just wanted to dispel the myth and say that it's simply untrue that most of the major contributors have big upload speed...they simply have good snail mail trading friends and spend all their time uploading...it's not about the speed, it's about dedication...these people here made my collection what it is today, and I feel I owe it to them to share it with everyone else the way they did with me...if they didn't share it with me, I wouldn't have it in the first place...giving it back is the only way I feel satisfied at the end of the day...it's the right thing to do...that's how the circle remains unbroken...

the members of this community need to carry the torch, and not just bum a light

I always wondered where the inspiration for that came from...that's fuckin great!!!

now if we need anger management, we can make a forum for that, but everything seems to have broken down here we're supposed to be talkin about banning people (or not banning them)

I'll add again the idea that if we added (add any number of GB here) for every vine offered, or bnp or whatever they do to contribute to the site...something so that the ratio reflects ALL that they do here, and not just the bandwidth you give and take...many people with poorer ratios would have a great boost after their other efforts are recognized, putting them in better standing on the numbers...and the only people with poor ratios would be those who REALLY do nothing at all for the site (correct me if I'm wrong)

even if we abandon the idea of banning people for poor ratios, we should still consider the idea of representing the full scope of peoples efforts here in the ratio...those numbers are only here to praise or shame the users...it's all about ego, if not enforcement...and for whatever reason we keep score, shouldn't we count all the points???

if we show the ratio just for the sake of showing it, then we should make sure it is an accurate reflection of what they do here, not just the uploading and downloading...maybe it's just me, but I think that would spare a lot of folks a lot of hassle, and also stop some good people from defending their ratios...it would cut off a lot of problems at the head if the ratios were more reflective of the big picture...but that's just one mans opinion, for whatever it's worth

Re: Should we ban thoughtless leechers?

Like acov, I'm new to trading but it seems to me that it is not difficult to share, its just a mindset thing. In the short time that I have been a member, there have been a fair number of leechers whose ratio is so far south of 1.0 that they clearly do not offer access to any torrent they have downloaded. They just take big time. The whole model relies on everyone doing their bit.

I would just like to thank all of you who make the music available. You know who you are!

Rock on.

Re: Should we ban thoughtless leechers?

Ratios are stupid and futile. People who want to share, WILL.. People who don't want to share, WONT. Why even worry about it? It's a fallacious argument to say that if you don't enforce ratios, no one will share.

Re: Should we ban thoughtless leechers?

Zomb has specials every so often offering 2 GB of ratio for every dollar donated to the site. Seems to work for them.

And yes ask to upgrade at Comcast for $10 month, almost magically your uploads go twice-as fast.
