The whole concept of "you don't get decent dl unless you max out your upload" is fucking gay as shit.
And then there is the whole idea of "ok, you're getting 1,323,235,234 files of 200k each; here's a little from this one, now here's a little from that one and here's a little from another one.." is seriously fucking retarded. Hey! I've got a gazillion tiny files and it's going to take 3 weeks until I can see any of them! BRILLIANT!
Bit torrent is total, useless crap, and I hope to hell it's replaced (SOON) by something better.
Your mom told that to me kast night but I wasn't listening. Now I can call her and tell her that I don't give a fuck.
Also, I need my set of keys back please.

fyi, you get a good download speed without maxing your upload.

All available upload speed goes to the leechers. So if everyone is nice and shares more then they can download, you will get good speed too -- even thou you're not uploading.
However if the torrent is flooded by dickheads like you, everyone one of you will get slow download.
I laugh at you because I allways get awesome speed down.

>>8 nice in theory, but any time I download the ratio is always at least 1:3 (IE they're uploading three times what I'm downloading).
Btw, if you're implying I'm capping my downloads, you're wrong. I'm using the linux client and I have no idea how to get the cap to work ("--max_upload_rate" fails).

Which linux cllient? max upload rate capping works perfectly with BitTornado/btlaunchmanycurses.

You're fucking gay as shit. Without uploaders, there can be no downloaders. It's only fair that you download proportionally to what you upload. Downstream does not emanate from the legendary Tree of Mana; for every byte you download, somebody else uploads one byte for you. That's P2P. If you can't accept this, you're gay.
