Have a good time. My idea of a vacation is sun and water. We did it for a few days and came back today, and we take off tomorrow for several more days. My kids gave me funny looks as I sprayed them with sunscreen several times the last couple days. They'll thank me by Thursday.

Fuck you you condescending prick. When your ISP shuts you off twice for uploading too much you have to throttle back. I was a perfect 1 on Dime for over a year until Cox Cable shut me off. I didn't get the message to stop because I didn't use that email. In addition their front line tech didn't even know they shut me off. We spent an hour troubleshooting before it escalated to the next level. At that point they told me they shut me off.

They also told me they could care less about how much I download. I will continue to download as much as I can and I won't feel guiloty about it at all. When cox stops bitching me out and shutting me off I will upload an exact 1.0.

Until then fuck all you self righteous bastards. There is one big flaw in all of your arguments. Even if I upload nothing and download the complete show I haven't prevented anyone else from getting it. If the others are sharing I'm bumped to low man on their torrent peer list. There is no way I'll get it and somehow have stolen their bandwidth so they can't. I might not be helping new users get it when I get off, but I can't.

This "whole your stealing if your not 1.0" is bullshit. Until they enforce a ratio you haven't violated one damn thing.

I've got a Buckethead DVD and then a major Tea Leaf Green project coming. I firmly intend to put a dislaimer in the torrents that anyone who has ever bitched about ratios shouldn't download either one. If you do then your disregarding my wishes and stealing from me. Take it somewhere where ratios are enforced or shut the fuck up.

If you're really concerned about thieves, you could do a search for "share ratio" and find the majority of people who bitch about this subject - and then when those IDs pop up in the peer list, you could set your bittorrent client so that they are denied from being able to download from you. Not all clients allow you to do this, but many do. Just do some experimenting with your bittorrent client to find out how to do it (assuming it's possible with the client that you use).

This will shut 'em the fuck up!

BTW - is the Buckethead from the current tour? I'm trying to find video of a show he did in Michigan. I know it's out there because my little bro saw a couple of video cameras in the audience.

Telling someone how to not seed to people who care about share ratios isnt a good idea, in my opinion.

Though telling people how to not seed to Bitcomet users is a good idea

Re: Does poor ratio equate bad trader?

Not wanting to get involved in a floomin' flame fer me second post... but due to various port/ firewall difficulties I have never been a seed or a leech, here or on Dime, or elsewhere, yet I have 800 or so gigs fer trade. They've all been done in the old fashioned way of trading, a few masters amongst em. And the fact that my so-called ratio (-of what???) is- and will continue to be- a fat ZERO makes me a bad trader

Hopefully I've misunderstood this thread

That was sooo insecure and defensive. If you truly didn't care, you would have wasted that hour and a half to write that post
