Most people here don't have connections with 40 or even 4 Mbps of upload. When I joined, I didn't even have 0.4 =]
The point about freeleech still stands, though. Any "semi-decent" connection and enough time will get you there.

those with slow connections also pay less per month than those with fast connection.
for the price difference, you could stay on your slow connection and rent a serious seedbox. Plenty of people do that.

You joined in 2008. 400 KB/s looked rather good to me. But we're having this discussion in 2017.
Internet speed dramatically increased in 9 years.
Just cheat until you have a decent internet connection. It's very easy to cheat during sundays when the motw is announced. I used to use speeds in the range 0-2mbps (just normal cheating, not waffles method).
Is teh easy to cheat on or what? it came to my notice that the newly appointed moderators are going berserk with banning users and stuff (i never cheated there). what client is recommended in mR to cheat at teh?
I understand the purpose of this forum, but I would still like to convince you to try be clean on teh.
This is an experience I tested:
Over 3 months, I took the motw and only missed 1 week.
I'm always min 2 hours late to pick.
these motw gave me an average seed ratio of 0.2714 :eek:
This is by far the lower ratio I have ever had, on any tracker! :mad:
but that still gave me 400GB of buffer. :smile:
I don't need more.
Its fairly easy, WM on MOTW like Molosse said.
If its average seeding what you're looking for, then think of it as if it was seeding points. Load up huuuge packs, and seed at 0kB/s. Thats gonna build your avg seeding time, which is needed to go up on user classes.
avg. seed size.

Your average is calculated every hour for up to a maximum of 12 6 months or whatever time frame we have data for (the system has not been in place for 12 months yet so it is just based on the data we have so far) by summing your seeding total for each hour and dividing it by the number of hours your account has been active (or whatever we have data for).
In addition to this, any torrents uploaded by you that you are no longer seeded by you but others have kept alive are assigned a bonus and added to your seeding average. This reflects the value we place upon members who are and have been very active uploaders.
Example time! I'll use some of the data you provided to help explain how the system works.
Assume your account is three months old, for two of those months you were incredibly active and managed to maintain exactly 1 TB (1024 GB) seeding every hour but in the third month you had to go back to school and couldn't afford to keep that amount of data seeding and your average was 40 GB every hour.
To understand what your overall average would be you simply need to calculate (I hope more mathematically gifted members can forgive me, I am about to mangle numbers here):
seeding total for each hour your account has been active summed together
/ number of hours your account has been alive (or what we have data for)
With the data we have and just using 30 day months we can calculate:
1,474,560 (1024 * 1440) + 28,800 (40 * 720) = 1,503,360
/ 2160
------------------
= 696 GB average seeding size.
If you had uploaded a torrent within that time and it was no longer seeded by you but still alive (seeded by others), TC would assign a bonus and add it to this average before it calculated which member class you would be. You can see this (along with all the others) figure in your profile.
Obviously, this is a very simplistic example and the system TC uses takes in to account things like months with more or less than thirty days as well as handling the fact that seeding size can change wildly from hour to hour (not everyone can seed 24/7, etc...).
I hope this answers your question and it is easy to understand.
