I do a bit of both but I download far more than I upload.

I always stop the torrent activity as soon as I finish downloading so that I can move or delete the downloaded folder.

I always seed the same amount or more that I leech.

This.

Sometimes I dream of having a symmetrical line...oh such unattainable sweetness. http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/c...power/sigh.gif I would seed everything to 3:1 or higher, just to make up for all the times when I've bolted on a torrent. And because I understand that most people's connections are still painfully slow...:( C'mon technology, develop faster!

I love to take take take because I'm an Ayn Rand fan.

Forgetful people like me that forget to move my downloaded files OUT of UTorrent's download folder so no one can even SEE that I have downloaded files.

Therefore I can't share. Unless I forget to move them. But we already covered that.

I mostly just take then delete the torrent when I'm done.

I'm not sure how I sleep at night.

Fast forward 10 years, now I have fiber! [because I'm currently in a technologically developed country, Croatia is still in the middle ages]. 100mbs up/down, so I definitely seed the sh!t our of everything now. You're welcome, internet. :)

"No, not really..."

I take what I want, when I want. I don't seed. Once I get the media downloaded, I delete the torrent, and move on with my life. But I give back by uploading free media to my website and putting in work to create, edit and format it for others to use, free of charge. So, karmically, it balances out [for me].
