Comment on Sony Music Among Parties Pushing To Cut Off Internet for Pirating Customers — Supreme Court Asked To Intervene
Is this true? You actually have to seed in order to download?
Download something and look at the columns in the torrent client. You will see download and upload speeds. While you are downloading, you are also sharing the same file with others who are downloading it.
hm, if you set your seed ratio to 0, maybe not though
Never tried that. I will look for that setting and see what it does next time I need to download something.
I’ve never tried it either. It would be kind of an asshole thing to do. Torrenting only works because everyone contributes their fair share.
