Now, as much as I'd like to believe in the power of sharing via torrent when it's done correctly (i.e. uploading while downloading, staying on for some time after download is complete to help upload to others in need) it's hard not to agree with someone like dark_jedi how torrents DON'T work out when my statistics look like this:

Connected Seeds: 17 (Max Possible: 17)
Connected Peers: 55 (Max Possible: 208)

Download Rate: 3 KB/s From 4 Peers
Upload Rate: 51 KB/s To 15 Peers

I defy all those guys asking for torrents to tell ANYone here that they are NOT "leeching."
