Why do you cheat ?

[cheatme]

i cheat to fix my stats mostly after downloading a big torrent . but i like to buffer accounts also and i cheat on what and waffles because i love music and they make it near to impossible for us to download it because it is just so hard to seed there

and my upload speed is extremely shitty it is just 25kB/s maximum ..what shit is that? i have no option but to cheat to survive on private trackers

[downtown]

Because of the lack of speed.
I'm half gangsta at heart.
and because the thrill of it

[dgware]

I cheat because upload speed sucks and i don't want to lose my place at the private tracker i'm registered.

When will US companies give us better upload speeds for residential customers? the technology is already available.

The US has a fairly poor infrastructure in comparison to places like South Korea and Sweden... then again most other countries do look bad when compared to those 2, but most other countries aren't meant to be global super powers.

It's not the technology that is limiting you, it is the availability:

The US had cables built to major cities, rather than spreading them out. Now the US, or rather US telecoms companies have to spend even more money laying the internal infrastructure - and because the US government used to be right wing (terms like republican don't hide shit) meant that they aren't willing to spend publicly (health care anyone?). Hence they left it to the corporations (Verizon, Bell, AT&T) to do the national cabling - and because companies like to make $$, they aren't too willing to invest in fibre optics either (I believe Verizon is the only company to provide FiOS).

Hopefully with Obama you might see a change, but in the mean time, welcome to SB-I!

That's indeed true. MediaDefender's computers have 9Gbit lines.

I am cheating because i got a new connection - 8 mbps,yes max download speed,however upload speed is limited to 256 Kbps only,for more upload speed you have to pay extra money and i am not giving my 1 buck to them for more upload speed

Like most of you here, I intend to cheat because of my slow UL and DL speeds. On multiple occasions I've seen that before I could even finish my own download, most people finishing downloading hence I only get to seed a few hundred MB's.

I'll only use SBI 'products' to keep myself safe from strict tracker rules, that's all. I have no intentioning of having 25:1 ratios.

Well I realized I started cheating because my upload band is too low, but now I start getting enjoyed... I mean, I can live without torrents, but the point is: "who is stronger, you or the tracker?" Basically, I think all trackers must not have restrictions, because internet was made to be free, and I hate when a tracker presents itself with threatening phrases like "you are warned, we have script that monitor dual accounts and bla bla..." or you MUST do this, you MUST NOT do this etc... this makes me want to cheat even if I had no intention

[darklight]

i cheat bcoz of low ul speed ,the thrill ,the enjoyment of a brand new torrent download without worrying how many weeks i have to screw my sleep to upload and i dont want to pay for seed boxes because the reason i download torrents is to get it free otherwise i would be buying the real products if had the friggin money most importantly as a member of SB

[cutiepie]

because there's no way i can afford a seedbox and i have a terrible internet connection...

it's fun too!

[asdasd22]

Cheating becouse low up speed(100kb/s) also its easy and fun

[anon]

At least you have 100kB/s up... that's the highest upload speed you can get on my country, and it's only available for companies, apart from being very expensive.

[whyme]

my upload speed is not good , so i cheat for making good ratio

[Kyllyee]

Cheating becouse low up speed(100kb/s) also its easy and fun

That is right round 10 times as much as I as I can seed without doing anything else.

That is the reason I cheat. I have almost no upload speed, so just trying to keep up with all the seedbox users at trackers like TL is impossible. ( Well, I thought so until I found RM, hehehe. )

[suroyo]

Like everyone else here I cheat out of necessity because of slow upload speeds, and because I think a strict ratio system is unfair to people in my situation if it means I have to buy a seedbox or buy upload credits to stay afloat.
