Zeropaid is Great

**Mrs Robinson** · February 28th, 2009, 07:01 AM

[Leechers are] engaging in perfectly reasonable and non-destructive behavior and the site is trying to punish him for it, thus fostering the creation of clients which lie about their statistics. This is the site’s fault, and the result could do serious damage to the value of BitTorrent statistics generally. Sites which do this are being extremely destructive, and the way they grandstand about how they’re fostering sharing really ticks me off.”

according to inventor of bit torrent.

So why is everyone so down on leechers.

Have you checked out One Swarm?
http://oneswarm.cs.washington.edu

It seems remarkably similar to Dargens, with perhaps a better social networking system.

Maybe a collaboration would be beneficial to both of you.

I feel like I'm reading the second page of the thread. What the hell is this?

Seriously. A-roo?

The thread title is "Zeropaid is Great" and then it goes on to talking about leechers, and subsequently, internet privacy. I'm still totally confused.

Sorry for my contribution to off-topicness.

My take on it, for what its worth.
Mrs R aka EZ-E, developer of Dargens, rode roughshod by ZP when he tried to promote interest in Dargens here.

Mrs R, not pleased with ZP's welcome, found a quote from Bram deriding sites that condemn leeching, concluded it applied to ZP, and posted it with a sarcastic title.

Me, discovering One Swarm recently, and noticing a strong similarity to Dargens, thought it may be of interest to Mrs. R.

Confused? You won't be, if you watch the next episode of Soap!

My brain is confuzzled. Seriously, what is going on here?

OP is going for most neg rep received in a single topic.

My brain hurts!!!

Well that makes a lot more sense. Is a ban in order? I noticed the rep point straight off, and that looks like grounds enough. Some how, Mrs Robinson has stayed COMPLETELY off my radar.

Honestly, I don't think so.
All the guy ever did was try and get some interest in his project, for which he got trounced.

When he tried to explain, he got trounced again. When he then tried to retaliate, he got mega trounced.

You'd think with all the bitchin' and moanin' about how p2p has stagnated with the advent of bittorrent some innovation would be welcomed.

I like the guy. I think his project needs work, a lot of user friendly refinement, but he's on the right track.

but whatever...ZP is poisoned for this dude. He ought to move on to greener pastures.

I still have no clue what is going on. I neg repped the guy because everyone else was doing it... Do I get a prize? :P

**w31n3r** · February 28th, 2009, 11:21 PM

i remember him, he got neg repped because of the link in his sig, people thought he was spamming, i guess sig spammers were looked down upon at the time.

i don't have anything against him, but he hasn't helped his cause either going by his past posts.

**Hath** · March 1st, 2009, 12:29 PM

The real question is; Do I get a prize?

**Mels_Smileys45** · March 1st, 2009, 12:39 PM

Maybe I should get one too for adding to his massive rep deficiency because it seemed like a fun thing to do at the time...and is funny. If he neg reps us will we get positive rep in return?
