Who Here Actually Seeds A Torrent>?

I have just finished downloading a dam big livecd!! only to straight after download quickly right click it and delete it to stop it seeding and delete it from utorrents repositiray so i was wondering how many users actually continue to seed there torrent after download? cause from my understanding it is also easier for police,internet police people like these to track u and put u away were as in just downloading has a lower risk .is this true? so um yer who continues to seed a torrent upon succesful download?

I seed at 50-75kb/s when I'm not doing anything much, and 25k/s when I'm playing TF2

I don't seed because it retards my internet.

Man thats a mess of text.I seed at a gaming torrent site i go to, mainly cause i like to have a decent ratio.If you want to avoid the law, avoid public trackers+movies.

public trackers? and doesnt seeding take a shitload of internet usage?

Yes it does. In Team Fortress 2, my latency can go from 250ms to 400ms. That's why i reduce the uploading rate.

ah.

Public Trackers that require no registration, like Pirate Bay, earlier this year thousands of people were hit with lawsuits for downloading a specific movie from Pirate Bay

Is there a specific article about this that I'm obviously too lazy to google?

questions about your last statement:which movie ?do you have to be registered to be able to get caughht?so movies from sites you have to sign up to get are more than likely trackable (eg.torrentday?)

I think he means websites where you DON'T have to register (Pirategay) are more likely trackable, unlike websites which require Registration via invitation (Demonoid)

oh good./bad i guess :) so thts y but wat demonid can have torrents downloaded without rego so if u sign up wat is the point less likely 2 b caught?

You can't download torrents from Demonoid without registering.

I'm forced to seed since I got a badge of honor on blackcats

It's thanks to people like you that we get 1kb/s.

but I'm an excellent seeder!

anyone with any sense of decency seeds to at least 1.0

I seed 20kbps on a good day, then 5kbps if I'm using the internets.
