Caltrops - Rants





	[quote name="jeep"][quote name="Zseni"]What is the fuckin deal with everyone getting all insane about leecher/seeder ratios and leechers hit-n-running and what have you? [/quote] People get real strange about this and have for a while, because these places usually start out as small communities where everyone "gets it," sharing and sharing alike and then some newb comes in and starts taking without sharing. I think it may be a perfect illustration of why communism can be undermined by a single capitalist. This happened back in the BBS days, it happens with ftp servers, and it happens with torrents. The only place it doesn't happen is usenet, probably due to a combination of noone having any idea what everyone else's ratios are and everyone's speed actually being determined by how much they pay for usenet access (the private ones are faster). I know of very few places where they explicitly refuse download ratios on torrents, and I don't have the bandwidth to fix that (yet). /jeep/[/quote]
