The way I see it by the time you finish the download you've had the window open for a long time, sharing the whole time (sometimes for me the upload rate is larger than the download -_-), most people would love to leave the window open, but it eats up their bandwidth, like for me, I may be downloading 4 bittorrents at once, if one is done and the upload rate is like 60 kb on it, I can't take that when I'm waiting for other things to download. Just wait, you'll get it... once I had to leave Bittorrent open for 3 days to get a Nanaka 6/17 episode.

Well sorry but it's not everyone who can leave their bittorent windows open. I don't care to share stuff. I have a FTP full of Naruto stuff (10Gbs) and people download stuff from me. But with bittorent I get shit because my upload speed is always 10 times bigger then my download speed. ( Dw/l : 40kb/s Up/l : 400kb/s) And I just have 5Gb in bandwidth in upload per month. (and 15Gb in download). So if for example I download 2 isos of 700mb I upload for around 6.8Gb. Do you think that's fair ?

Akamaru, that's where the bittorrent experimental client comes in. In such a case, fair is fair. If you find yourself dling at 50kb/s, cap your upload to 50kb/s, if it's 100kb/s cap it to 100kb/s. That way you're being fair to the community and to yourself. I have unlimited bandwith anyway, so I don't do this too often, it just pisses me off sometimes to be dling at 2kb/s and uling at 100kb/s. >__<

I tried it and it doesn't seems to work. My downloads doesn't start at all when I use it. I had to put back the bittorrent client.

Unless you happen to have a fast guy sending it to you on your broadband, leaving the comp on for days to download eps is quite common.
