It amazes me how many leechers are out there. You can always tell when people aren't sharing back but sometimes that is due to other seeding priorities as determined by their bittorent client, so I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. But when you find a number of hit-and-run downloaders, from the-world-over mind you, on nicely ripped encodes of over 10 GBs, when I only have a max upload speed in the kilobytes range myself, it is kind of sad. So sometimes I find myself partially seeding a torrent for weeks of and on just because no one, not even the original uploader, bothers to seed the poor thing. It would be one thing if there were other alternatives or better rips but in those cases I wouldn't even bother to seed more than my fair share. So I just keep hoping someone else will pick up the seed for awhile and when another seeder appears I give it a rest so I can catch up on other seeds. I check back in a day or two and sure enough, no one is seeding the poor thing and I try to give it a boost all over again. Of course my patience isn't infinite and sooner or later I will remove the torrent.
Anyone else ever have this problem? Maybe I should have posted this in "The things that piss me off" thread but literally this just makes me more sad than anything else. If people aren't going to help share they really should just look for a direct download somewhere, they just seem to be missing the point of the whole thing. Know what I mean Vern?
