    leecher or seeder ? which one seems less suspecious

    hello,

    I was wondering if I can choose to appear as a leecher or as a seeder (vem , userenity) which one is less suspicious. Especially on elearning trackers but not only

    If I appear as a leecher it means that i wanted to download but actually didn't cause there weren't any seeders or something , am I right ?

    I wonder which one looks more natural.

    I'd say a seeder (only under good conditions) looks much better than someone stuck at 0% forever on any torrent.

    what about trackers where they have finished list. You appear there as someone who actually completed/finished ? torrent though you are showed as someone who didn't download/upload a thing.

    Isn't such a list dangerous , how to deal with it ?

    You don't must download torrent from their site to seed it. You can always say that you downloaded it from other site:)

    yes, well easy to say when it's actually available on other sites but what can you say when it is something unique. Say italian tv series or any other nationality but not American. That's more difficult.

    Not cheating?

    In that case you won't appear as someone who completed the file. And if you can't find it elsewhere, there's no way out but downloading it or faking download. That's it.

    Not good , really does not sound good cause that torrent doesn't have even a one leecher and I needed to have that file (earlier they didn't have that list and it appeared right after I've downloaded it) Faking up with zero leechers seems like suicide, mods would kick me out.

    Seems like I'm toasted

    A file is something you want. Not something you need.

    Anyway if there aren't any seeders you won't even be able to download it, so yeah, it's a dead end.

    By the way, please allow me to fix the following sentence:

    actually both I needed that file and i really badly wanted to have it

    I'm tired , sorry meant to say ther weren't any leechers. That is why i think it would strange if i tried to upload with 0 leechers.

    Edited my earlier post.

    if its that important to get the file, one can always jump in as leecher, hoping a seeder appears from somewhere or ask for a reseed

    cheat only on suitable torrents, if in doubt just seed them for 72+h like everyone else, unless you're feeling adventurous

    What he said.

    Try seeding your stuff, for a change.

    Don't want to create new thread.

    i have a question, i accidently downloaded 40 kb (the whole file is like 700MB) and don't want to seed. Will it be seen as a hit n run or that small amount of downloaded data is not a hit n run

    Most likely the latter, but I hope they don't ask why you downloaded just 40kB on it.

    wy are you worried about one torrent that you want or need, donwload it now and then find another torrent file with many leechers and then fake it.

    you better watch out when you choose seeder or leecher.
    seed only if the torrent is scene release or you relly have downloaded it from the same tracker, seeding a torrent that only tat tracker have and no one else will make you busted.
