I’ve always been a loyal bittorrent user that never downloads anything without giving back. Infact my total ratio on utorrent is almost 7 (total uploaded 701GB, total downloaded 104GB). What really pisses me of is when I download mainly not-that-popular contect from private trackers and despite seeding for THOUSAND OF HOURS get a ratio of 0.1 or less.. more than 50% of everything I’ve gotten from private trackers have a ratio of 0.000 even though I’ve been seeding them about 10 hours a day for 6-12 months depending on the torrent. In my case I don’t find it immoral or “bad” to consider using an service like this but as with warez in general, you gotta find that perfect balance. If everyone used this without seeding it would greatly damage the bittorrent community or if everyone pirated everything without buying anything that would definently hurt the people who made that content. What the anti-pirating companies don’t understand is that in general the pirates also buy a lot more content than others. Pirating is also in its own way free advertising that can actually increase sales rather than cut off profit. Lol think I went a bit offtopic there but yea what ever.

tl;dr Some torrents are downloaded too rarely for you to maintain a good ratio and if you happen to like that kind of contect you’re fucked.

I switched to Torrent Ratio Keeper. It has more features than GT and allows to stay undetected on torrentleech.

I use this program for leeching,
then I uploaded to a ratio of 1:1,
and then delete the torrent.

cause my internet speed is so bad i spend one half of month downloading and the other half uploading I’m on a 725KPS connection.
If you think I’m bad just for using it like that then i don’t care what you have to say cause i did the right thing by uploading back what i downloaded

in the name of God

Here is a solution
Use this program for fast download (Leeching)
Then let the Torrent program seeding this torrent as a normal torrent

I would never try to deceive my Demonoid brothers and sisters with this cheatware (Just saw it on YouTube and didn’t even know what it was). I am proud of my honest ratio at the best site in the world: 2.45 (506.13 GB/206.38 GB) and, like most of the people commenting here, I would hope that anyone caught using this crap be banned. It defeats the whole purpose of the torrent scene. Now at Demonoid, while frowned upon, you are not penalized for a poor ratio. We take into consideration that some members have crappy bandwidth, that’s why the ones who have it to give pick up the slack for those who don’t. The only time someone gets scolded for having a poor ratio is when they beg for more seeders…. a definite faux pas.

I would also love to seed and share, but in my country it’s illegal. It’s okay to download, but not to upload. And they are working on changing that too…bastards.
