    I have just finished downloading a dam big livecd!! only to straight after download quickly right click it and delete it to stop it seeding and delete it from utorrents repositiray so i was wondering how many users actually continue to seed there torrent after download? cause from my understanding it is also easier for police,internet police people like these to track u and put u away were as in just downloading has a lower risk .is this true? so um yer who continues to seed a torrent upon succesful download?

    I seed at 50-75kb/s when I'm not doing anything much, and 25k/s when I'm playing TF2

    Man thats a mess of text.

    I seed at a gaming torrent site i go to, mainly cause i like to have a decent ratio.

    If you want to avoid the law, avoid public trackers+movies.

    Yes it does. In Team Fortress 2, my latency can go from 250ms to 400ms. That's why i reduce the uploading rate.

    Public Trackers that require no registration, like Pirate Bay, earlier this year thousands of people were hit with lawsuits for downloading a specific movie from Pirate Bay

    Is there a specific article about this that I'm obviously too lazy to google?

    questions about your last statement:

    which movie ?

    do you have to be registered to be able to get caughht?

    so movies from sites you have to sign up to get are more than likely trackable (eg.torrentday?)

    I think he means websites where you DON'T have to register (Pirategay) are more likely trackable, unlike websites which require Registration via invitation (Demonoid)
