Maybe no one was leeching off him. That has happened to me on other torrent sites. I was seeding but no one was taking them. I had to upload new torrents to get back up to 1.0.

But, then again, downloading 159GB in two days is a mite over-enthusiastic!!! Shocked

Sad but true. Confused


Ironically, there were 2 other porn torrents, but I couldnt fit them in the screen with his user name. I guess it was a lonely night Mad

sad but true.... and everything was left open for seeding with no throttles and from what I saw in the FAQs, new users are not allowed to upload.

but in my defense....

http://www.ilovetorrents.com/userdetails.php?id=451026
downloaded = 93gig
uploaded - 295 gig

http://scenehd.org/userdetails?id=16426
downloaded = 8 gig
uploaded = 72.69 gig

http://www.demonoid.com/ (before it went down)
downloaded = 92 gig
uploaded = 567 gig

http://elbitz.net/userdetails.php?id=52267
Down: 108.42 GB (2.77 GB per day)
Up: 583.51 GB (14.92 GB per day)

It's not like I don't seed back until my ratios are more than fair....
and the porn files were for re-seeding... they are usually more popular for reseeding than the disney movies and discovery channel packs that I usually grab.

I always wondered why people used private trackers. Now I know.












Anyone got an invite for me?

Of course it doesn't. Who would think it means the person would maintain a good ratio on a torrent site?

That you took this bizarre leap in logic reflects on you, not him.

And outing him on this board and painting him as a pervert, instead of discussing it with him privately, is way less of a classier move than he ever pulled.

Yup...a man's vice is his own. Who among us is without porn on his computer..say "I" ,and that man will be a liar. Sometimes you want to test out the site and get a little excited the first few days but steady seeding always brings you up. Relax with the stat-peeping.

Sorry, but I would have to agree with SK. Have you ever heard of a character witness?

I believe that you can only judge someone on your past experiences with him/her. It goes to a thing called credibility. If someone was an ASS here, I (for one) wouldn't buy from them if they posted in the buy or sell forum, nor would I offer them something.

Discuss his ratio, that's fine. Divulge exactly why his ratio is the way it is (embarassing or not), that is needless. In this case, its vindictive.

OP...stick to your own topic.
