just checked my torrent client after being out for a while and the sisters download from
C3 has d/led and seeded up an 83% ratio while running at the same time as the motorhead dvd torrent.
torrents and especially .flac torrents are the way forward.

I was wondering if someone with megatons of bandwith could download
this one for me. It goes like this:
Dime-a-Dozen wrote:Arte Rock & Rex 2005
Le Grand Rex, Paris, France
November 2005
Appearing artists (in alphabetcial order):
Archive
dEUS
Grand National
The Kills
Madness
Maxmo Park
Patti Smith
Trade for something else, someone?
I
could download it myself, but it would seriously f**k up my rank as I can never make uploading even half of it month without being charged extra as it's two or even almost three GB

i'd offer
Zeno but i'm still downloading over 4gigs of motorhead with a couple of torrents waiting.
why don't you just open a new account with dimeadozen from a different email address? then you can leech it without killing your ratio. i've not sunk that low personally but i can see it could happen.

I understand, no problem and thanks anyway
Don't they do some sort of IP-check as well
And my rating is 0.4, so I cannot sink much deeper already

my share ratio is 0.58, I don't know what I'm doing wrong

is your torrent client set to seed each torrent until 100%? mine had a default setting of 80% to start with which of course means you aren't going to ever balance your ratio.

Currently being sent [via msn] London After Midnight - Kiss. Ok, so maybe it's fookin' g0ff, but I liked it when I was 13 so that shouldn't have changed now...

If you've still got the original files you can help seed it,this will help your share ratio.

i've got them burned onto cd from the vined disc that
mark made so although i have got them as .flac i don't have them on my hard-drive, which is still suffering from having 4gigs of motorhead on it so that i can seed it. cheers anyway
pat- i have been considering uploading some stuff anyway for the "it's nice to share"-ness of it.

Can someone tell me how to make a torrent and seed it?
Or point me towards a web site that will show me?
I have the FLAC files ready to go - I just don't know what the next step is.....

I presume via
here, after and after that go to your program of choice and search for something like 'upload' in it

From memory which might not be perfect at the moment.
Follow the link in Obviousman's post .Copy the announce url.
Put your flac files in a folder with a text file with the description.Your torrent client should have a make torrent function.Point this at the folder (not the files) it should ask you for the announce url round about now.This should now create a torrent file next to your folder.Go back to Obviousman's link, follow the instructions ,wait a few minutes and Robert should be your fathers brother.(bookmark your torrent page).

tried
Z's link last night, got this
CAUTION: This page is only for adding a torrent onto the tracker. To seed a torrent that is already on DIME, do not use this form.
Instead, go to DIME's details page for the torrent and get your personalized .torrent file for it.
so I went to the details page and it was of no use at all. I think all you guys know I like to share what I have, so its not for the want of trying.

does anyone else get this problem?
the share ratio on my client (not on the torrent site) will occasionally drop dramatically e.g. the motorhead dvd i'm seeding was on 30% a couple of hours ago; since having to restart my pc (due to aol being incompetent broadband providers it has fallen to 25%- quite a difference when you consider the file(s) contain 4gb.
fortunately this hasn't affected the amount u/l'ed onto DAD but is still annoying as this also happened with a siouxsie torrent and means i have to waste good HL/pacman time on manually managing torrents.
