Torrent Life: Which role do you play?
 
When torrenting to your little hearts content do you ever stop and think what kind of person you are being. Are you the selfish downloader who constantly takes files from others computers, or do you like giving back to the legal;) downloading community.

I only download what I have. It's easier to line up several torrents to download over night than to sit up ripping each cd

I am the selfish downloader, only because I just found out what a torrent is and am yet to be able to offer anybody something in return. I will learn!

You dont really need to learn. You just chose not to move file when its completed. Then your ratio automatically begins to even out.

Oh, cool! I didn't even know that. I'm not as selfish as I thought then.

I delete that stuff from uTorrent as soon as it finishes.

It is definitely safer that way.

I'm mostly a selfish downloader. Every once in awhile I'll give something back, but it's rare.

GuitarBizarre 11-25-2008 06:13 PM

Definitely selfish, mostly because my home connection only gives me a 10th of my download speed as upload, so its painfully slow to seed anything.

If everyone are selfish downloaders... where do we get all the torrents from?!
