Some private trackers demand that your up/down ratio stays at or near 1:1 so in those cases people will upload as much as they download, the teenagers grabbing songs or the latest TV shows or movies snatch the torrent then bail, for popular torrents they will upload virtually nothing, at most 5% of what they download, and these cases are by far the most common. > >> depending on how early you jump on a new torrent you can upload >> anywhere between most of it or virtually nothing if there are a lot >> of seeds and few peers, for most users there is no point in >> disabling uploads and in any case it defeats the purpose of P2P >> which is dependant on "sharing". > > Not if only the mindlessly paranoid/neurotic bother. |
