What are your torrent share ratios?

[bluaki]

...of course 6,424,922,814.00 isn't my real ratio. Demonoid just thinks I've only downloaded 1 byte of data. For some odd reason.

According to BitTorrent, my total share ratio is actually 9.61. Which is still pretty high, but to no compare to what Demonoid thinks I have.

we had a thread like this before but ok :P

share ratio is 3.072

[Nayrman]

at home it's 1.27 (which is pretty bad)
At campus it's an astounding 11.7 (seriously, our internet at campus if intercourse ing INSANE. I torrented an entire Bleach episode, 23 minutes long, in a grand total of 2 minutes and 13 seconds once)

mmm your college doesn't hate torrents?

I was talking to people at the college I'm going to in the fall and they said you probably will get screwed over if you try to torrent tons of stuff.  That's why I'm backing myself up with anime now :P

But I guess that's what happens when you're going to be going to a college that prides itself on technology.

Yea, Georgia Tech, after the pentagon, has the fastest internet in the country. They basically make the internet themselves. GT was one of the first campuses to even have the internet altogether.
So yea, I get lots of easy torrents and downloads. As long as you're not downloading like, 10GB worth of data at a time, the campus really doesn't care.

It's peer-to-peer file sharing, basically.  People "seed", or upload, to everybody else who is trying to download, often called "leeching".  You usually want a high seed-to-leech ratio, so that you get more uploaders than downloaders.  It is basically a community approach to file sharing and an alternative to direct downloads.  It's appealing because the files are not hosted on a central server that just has its bandwidth eaten up--instead, it eats up the bandwidth of everyone who actually cares about the files ^_^

Also it's a way to get "illegal" movies and shows and stuff at least somewhat legally (and hassle free) since the source file doesn't exist on the interent on whole, thus making it impossible for authorities to do anything about it. Sure the cops can tell you to stop if you're hogging bandwidth too much, but like downloads on your computer there isn't anything they can do to your computer unless they have a search warrant for some other crime. Of course this is all relative, since we never know when the government will try to do something about it, but frankly the practice really won't ever end until something superior to file sharing comes about.

I understood about half of that(Note:I'm very computer illiterate)

What.cd: 0.15 (:()
Demonoid: 1.56
Funfile: 1.788
It's near impossible to seed much on what.cd.

I'm a bit of an poop hole pirate.  Soon as I'm done downloading, I remove the torrent.  Plus my connection is DSL, so I don't help much anyway.
