What happens if I dont...

...Seed a torrent I have downloaded? Can you then be put into a "black book" and not allowed to download?

Just curious because I always upload/seed to a ratio of 1.00 to be curteous. What if I dont? Will people know?

It is possible to be blocked, but it'll just be for that tracker usually.

It's more out of courtesy. If you can spare the traffic, then it's good to help out.

If you can't, then stop seeding.

Since my upload speed is nowhere near my download speed, I generally seed to about 0.5 ratio. This is more than generous. Others, for example those in the states where upload and download rates are more equivalent, can share to higher ratios.

so i have been more than generous with my 1.0 ratio!

Well just share as much as you can. Always nice to share :)

I only share up to about 0.5 because I use my computer often, so can't afford to reserve bandwidth for BitTorrent.

Someone told me you can get the christmas extras episode on BitTorrent - I run limewire and I can't find it. Any ideas?

You`ll find it on mininova, download utorrent to run it. Click on comments on mininova before you download to make sure it`s a good download. When it asks you to open or save, click save and then open with utorrent otherwise Limewire will open it.
