I've also donated a some cash and I will continue to solicit donations fo MYSPLEEN.NET as they are THE ONLY site that has allowed me to use their tracker. IT's also one of the only torrent sites (beside 'adult' torrent sites) that does this. AGAIN the share ratio PREVENTS Leechers.
NOW for those of you that DO NOT know what a leecher is....
At first it ment ANYONE that was downloading a SHARED file (now called peers) BUT now it means that YOU download a file and close the torrent right after your download is finished without giving it a chance to let others download from you!!
If you want to avoid being a leecher you NEED to keep the torrent open for as long as you can. (YES, YOU)
It is considered GOOD form to share a torrent file until you have a share ratio of AT LEAST 1:1 (but PLEASE try to have it at 1.5:1 or 2:1 that way the torrent will stay open longer! (thereby giving everyone else a chance to download it - you crazy kids!)
Now, what the heck is the share ratio?
When your share ratio is at 1:1 that means you have now uploaded the same amount of data as you downloaded and 2:1 means you uploaded twice the amount as you downloaded and on and on...
So the lesson here is....
Share or be a $%^#*& (If sharing is not your thing - you could get the DVD's and videos from eBay right?)
Okay, CLASS dismissed.
