As for those leechers on take and run, even though being on a public site does not stop me having a ratio of 5 or more. If I see that the number of seeders exceed the leechers then I let it go to 3, just to keep the ball rolling. But missing the point of coming here. Must say I appreciated the post by Ben. It is informative and interesting.

And you NEED to justify all that ass-kissing (and "donations"). That's why you NEED to believe anything public and open (non-exclusive) is bad.

I have no idea, how many times I find a bunch of perfectly named .mp3 files that turn into track01 when opened because there is no ID3 tag information, or track01.mp3 that then has correct names. Then there are some that just have no names at all... For extra points embed album art into the .mp3 files them selfs rather than as a separate .jpg file (or in addition to), this will show up in iPods. The best way to do this would be to use MusicBrainz, Picard tagger. You might need to add an entry to the MusicBrainz database itself if its a new album or different release, there also needs to be an Amazon entry for albumart to be pulled in. You can speed up creating the database entry if you already have the metadata in the files using the 'add cluster as release' plugin. MusicBrainz is also good because it actually allows the end user to update the tags using the program, so if there are spelling corrections the end user can fix them simply by syncing with the MB database. You might also not have to enter the metadata yourself since often there is an entry already in the database so you can save yourself time. Otherwise EasyTag is a great way of manually embedding the art if its not in musicbrainz/Amazon in and lets you convert filenames into ID3 tags and the other way around. And finally, CHECK ALL THE TRACKS ARE THERE. Ive found releases where half the tracks missing for no good reason. If you do release the albums as one giant file, include a .cue so people can split them up. But I don't know anyone who bothers to burn cds anymore. ? If you release MP3’s:

When are you going to get of your cloud and get down to basics. I was on a private site once and got out cos of the atmosphere there. all people were worried about were their ratios. Possibly your download speeds are better but belonging to a community means other things than just your ratios!

In that situation, the general torrent populace, who knows what they're doing, would be telling the peers or leechers to stop leeching and upload more. Trackers have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH DOWNLOAD SPEED. (Also, 720P is 1.1 GB, not 4-7 GB) @Whoever said RARs are good for correcting info on torrents: No. They are not. Just reload the corrupted data into the torrent program and force a re-check. Your client will mark the bad pieces and re-download just those KB. That's even less than downloading part of a split RAR. And on that note, I agree: Archiving files on bittorrent in general is outright stupid, as people will finish the downloads and immediately stop seeding so that they don't waste space when they un-archive the file. @Robbie Shoe: Like the previous post says, you must be one of the noobs who does not understand how Bittorrent works.

That's exactly one huge problem today, people just babble along without saying nothing at all. They talk, talk, talk but are incapable of basic communication. By the way, you pseudo-elitist, pseudo-intelligent piece of garbage better shut your trap before someone helps you with that. 20: If people don’t know what a tracker is, they shouldn’t use it at all.
