They are real petty about sharing, quotas, who "owns" something just because they packed some files.<br>Torrents for small files in a small community like a private forum with a couple hundred users is a stupid idea. Torrents need more than 1 or 2 seeds, peers to work. The file owners are locked into keeping their PCs on and the directories in place and unchanged. Easy for a huge community, stupid for a small one where not everyone will have every file.<br>Dumb, dumb idea.Honest Dealnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941044611938100948.post-59965026111630610542011-01-30T13:19:33.256-05:002011-01-30T13:19:33.256-05:00Did they ever tell you why you got banned?

From looking at your user page it looks like you uploaded 4.58 TB but that seems really high; even the user who invited you uploaded 1.62 TB and he's definitely a power user. My guess is your torrent client was sending bogus information and they thought you were cheating your ratio. I'm sure if you talked to one of the admins in the IRC they might be able to help you out.<br><br>And if it makes you feel any better, I download way more albums from you than I do from that tracker. Your uploads are always well organized and there is more of a commitment to vintage comedy which I prefer. Thanks again for all your hard work.Chocolate Milktoothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07122131670353995084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941044611938100948.post-39830310575990899212011-01-30T14:25:01.426-05:002011-01-30T14:25:01.426-05:00Chocolate - they didn't send a reason, one day...Chocolate - they didn't send a reason, one day I was just banned. The upload count is probably right, some torrents were video and the rest were relatively rare vintage posts.<br>Since this post on VSC I heard the issue was over "torrents on public sites". I assume that means on their forum and a public site. I had only one, not sure how it became public. <br>I created this post since I couldn't login to the forum and say "why?" I got my answer. I am OK with the ban.JimGnoreply@blogger.com
