I've always wondered how ratios like that are supposed to work. Surely the ratio has to be 1.0, averaged over all users.

most trackers have some kind of bonus point system

I think certain torrents being marked freeleech to not count against accounts' ratio is what causes the bulk of the imbalance in total uploads versus downloads. It's necessary too, to increase availability on torrents.

Good thing I pay only 30 EUR a month for symmetric 1 gbit fiber. Right now with BF you can find BF deals cheaper than 2 USD a month, and then there's Usenet.

What's BF for the laymen?

Black Friday

Is this legitimate data or pirated media?

Yes.

Yeah, this is it.
