Brag about your private BT upload & ratio

[LinuxFanBoi]

Without naming the name of the private Bit Torrent service you belong to, please share a screen shot of your personal Upload, Download & ratio. Again, no names in the screenshot either.

here's mine:

total = 2.32 (95.559/41.17)
median= 2.11
max = 8.20 (for a Creative commons film, i still seed sometimes but i think 8.2 is a fair point to stop)
min = 0.01 (for a debian iso, I think it's an old version and nobody want's it :( )

Not a private tracker user and i can't figure out how to get a total from ktorrent so i just added it up manually.

It's off by a fair bit as i had to manually re add a large (read multiGB) torrent and ktorrent reset my upload counter to 0

The only private tracker I'm on is Demonoid which is, of course, down.

If anyone were to have a spare What.CD invite though... ;)

Not everyone who uses Bittorent protocol is a pirate. As an example, ~40Gb of what I have there is from Ubuntu 9.04 DVD and Slackware ;)

Didn't even noticed it:lolflag:

Not sure about my download and upload totals but I always keep a ratio of 2.0. I set rtorrent to automatically close torrents when the reach 2.0 and I never close them myself. So thats double out what I take in.

And to think, not one bit of it would be legal in the USA...

I was refering to this post and others.

Piracy also means using material without the owners permission as in Pirate Radio.

Why do you need a private tracker, for legal torrents.

I had nothing better to do, so I downloaded a hundred random torrents of GNU/Linux distributions and seeded them for a year. Nope, no copyright infringement here.

Haha. Fair enough.

Why do you need a private tracker, for legal torrents.


Public trackers are loaded with viruses, spyware, and spam in general. They are often untrustworthy even for legal torrents. For instance searching for a linux iso on a public tracker you don't really know which ones are uploaded by the distro developers and which ones have been tampered with and re uploaded by some basement hacker unless you get it directly from the distros page. Private trackers have far superior moderation where they just ban anybody who breaks rules. If a virus or other malicious software is discovered the uploader get permanently banned. It has nothing to do with legal vs illegal.

I wish I had the bandwidth to be able to seed torrents :( I'm on a 10Gb UP/DOWN cap, so I have to tell rTorrent to kill the seeding after 75Mb :( Sorry :(

I like though when distros and that are distributed through torrent. Makes for much safer downloading, in the sense that your less likely to end up with a corrupt ISO :)

[DCJuggler]

Only torrents i use.

copyleft has nothing to do with piracy, artists choose to license their art in such a way. Linking the two is like saying photoshop is open source because you can pirate it for free

Wouldn't be able to have that ratio without the 100 Mbps internet connection at the university.

[T3knopath]

Me too! I could really do with a decent private tracker invite,eg FtN, ScT or Torrentleech.
Please guys

please don't start that. there is no point in judging people, who may well have earned that share ration uploading ubuntu.

I know that the mods and admins around here are surprisingly close minded about the darkages-style intelectual property system that the world tries to force on everyone, but that is no reason to throw insults. no need to be a jerk (or violate teh COC in the process). it is not WE that shoudl be ashamed.

The posts cariboo907 was referring to were deleted, and they were obviously not about legal bit torrent usage.

ahh, that would explain it. thanks for pointing that out to me.
i am really tired of the mods around here trying to preach about IP ethics on other peoples threads though.
the FSF would never have gotten started if stallman didn't want somthing really bad, and couldn't afford whatever price was required.

[cariboo]

Just to ad to what RiceMonster said, there were several people boasting that the files they downloaded, were copyrighted in the US.

[doas777]

fair enough.

For your latter request, well, PM me. Here are mine, movies and music in that order.
