How do you know other people's share ratios? I'm assuming that you're not running a tracker. I use utorrent, and I don't see anything that tells me other people's share ratio. Maybe it's hidden and I have to enable it? I'm just curious.
Also, I'm probably one of those no-share leechers when I'm at home, because I have very low bandwidth at home. But when I'm at the dorm, I usually seed for a couple of days after I finish downloading a torrent (at a combined uload of ~500kB/s). Since those are two different IP addresses, though, I'm probably shoe up as sharing .05. oh, well...

Well you can either go to the page for the torrent and click on "show peer stats" or check the tracker page directly here: http://d-addicts.net:7979/.

I do a simliar thing sometimes. I'll stop my download as soon as it completes, often so I can burn a DVD, and then seed later. The leechers I was referring to were on older torrents where I was the only seed and kept careful track of the progress. I ended up writing down IP's because most of the peers would dissapear as soon as they completed an episode and move on to the next one. I seeded for a week and never saw those IP's as seeds on the older episodes.

saigo: i'm not sure if you want to try, but (using nero) i believe i've burnt a dvd before WHILE still seeding the torrent. i don't believe there was anything wrong with the disk._________________ Use THUMBS UP/DOWN buttons to KEEP or DELETE posts.

I've done that in the past, but discovered later that a few discs had errors on them. One would read fine in my DVD burner but not in my DVD-ROM drive. I've scanned several discs that I received from other people and you'd be surprised how many had corrupted files or at least produced read errors.

You are a very lucky person. It isn't Nero or BT... It is actually Microsoft Windows. Other than their server operating systems, a single file being used by multiple processes is very unreliable. I don't recall Nero ever checking to see if a file is in-use before copying. Many backup software, such as Symantec/Veritas Backup Exec, will choke if a file is found to be in-use. So it is very possible for Nero to actually leave out blocks of data during a burn.

| Yeah, its usually best to close down all programs when burning. You don't want any mistakes. In Nero, you can check the option of verifying the compilation and that will tell you if you burned it correctly or with errors.
