    Default Who seeds?

    Just wondering who here seeds their downloads (torrents)?
    I always seed mine to a 1:1 ratio, but have mates that stop seeding the second the download is done and another whose ISP called to ask about his enormous uploads...........he seeds everything permanently

    Depends what it is really.
    TV shows etc Ill seed for a few weeks.
    "Acquired" programs I will NOT seed for any more then i have to.

    Interesting fact I showed my sister how to use uTorrent, couple of weeks later I get a lovely sisterly phone call regarding her rediculously bill for the internet.
    Telstra Bigpond count uploads as a download, but when your net gets shaped your uploads dont and she was charged something like $2.20 per mb uploaded.

    I seed everything to 1:1 but have it set to auto remove if it gets to 1.5:1.

    I think that's fair.

    I think so

    This is the stats from one of my many private sites

    U: Seeding 939.59 GB ( 10 ) D: Leeching 519.28 GB ( 0 )

    i hate people who dont seed. so selfish... is there no honour amongst thieves?? lol
    i used to seed 4:1, more if the seed/leech ratio was low.

    I do seed and have a sort of good ratio of .8. Somethings i dont bother seeding. Sometimes its annoying have **** upload if i had good upload i would seed a lot more. But my line is unstable at high speeds so i have lower speed to keep it more stable.
    ######## doesnt correctly list my stats as i think i got a dynamic ip.
    Anyway i got 1 torrent going atm with d/l 22.99gb u/l 21.25gb sr. .924 and i'm only 31.2% through.

    So i like to think i give my fair share 99% of the time

    I don't understand seeding, but while i'm still with optus, i can't seed, as uploads are counted.

    Yes, i seed most things, I'm on Optus but uploads arn't counted. Which is also why there's so many web servers on the network i run xD

    I seed most of the time, sometimes it makes my comp painfully slow so I stop seeding but my ratio atm is 2.14, I think when you are getting something for nothing its the least you can do to share the love lol
