Name & Shame Uberleechers Thread

[bannanna]

It would be great to have the option of choosing who you would llike to seed. ie. many leechers on an old torrent (low to very low ratio) and an acceptable ratio is stuck I would like to only seed this person and put a post in the thread reminding those stuck to boost their ratio to at least 1.0 to at least get help in seeding......... Oh and the mentality of some low ratio seeders seems to be sit on the torrent without seeding in the belief that they are seeding (keep an eye out for this)... oh welll had my whinge hope this is the forum for it.

Well, that is all done through your bittorrent client. You can block users through your client. But, don't forget that even if you block them, that doesn't mean that anyone else has to. So, if you block user B, but you are connected to user A and user A has not blocked user B, then user A will just give the data to user B.

But, feel free to bitch about it here.

a lot of people are being traffic shaped by their ISPs, so you may have to enable encryption in order to connect to some seeders.

.27 raised to .27

Great Job.

Perhaps a Mod felt it had nothing to do with the thread title?

[vladsmythe]

How about no more "Shame" in the title? That's sort of negative don't you think Lynne?

The person who started it is down with what he terms 'uberleechers'.

vlad, stop being so darned sensitive about your share ratio. You care about it a lot more than anybody else does. Put this thread on ignore and then you never have to deal with it again.

[vladsmythe]

I'm not sensitive about my ratio Lynne, really I think my ratio may bother others, but I I'm cool with it. It's just fun sparring with the guys here, especially Mr. Creosote. He's a hoot! Really, as long as noone gets hurt - as they do in the lounge, what's the problem? It's a dumb premise for a thread, so let's have fun with it.

This isn't a dumb premise as long as it invites reasonable conversation.

Possessed, you never cease to amaze me with your punditry!

If you only knew, if you only knew

But this isn't The Lounge, so this sort of kidding around doesn't belong.

No punditry here. Just plain 'ol common sense.

OK guys, the whip is coming out. You all know where off-topic posts go and where playing around goes -> The Lounge!!!! So, take it there for now on! I've got my whip back from Heather and I'm not afraid to use it.
