Cheers!

The point is not about downloading the most popular stuff. It's about keeping on sharing as long as possible. It's not a big sacrifice.

I'm using whatbox. There are cheaper options out there that I've seen but I'm not overly concerned.. the cost is more than worth it for me personally. I'm on the cheapest plan, gives 350gb of space, 2TB a month upload traffic and has 150MBit connection iirc. I've seen downloads as fast as 50mb/s on well seeded torrents.. of course I can't transfer from the server to my computer that quickly, but its still nice. haha.

Downloading popular stuff is a good way to maintain a ratio, or get it up there faster, at least you hope anyway. As you said though, once you download just leave the torrent up, I don't see any reason to ever remove them unless you've already seeded to an insane ratio, and I think I'm going to remove some of the ones I have just for that reason to give others a chance.

I think a trick is just not to download THAT much at one time. I'm still sifting and listening through the 24ish albums I downloaded myself. I'll move on and grab more then as I need to. One of the things I love about sites like these is the discovery factor, came across so many awesome bands/projects I never knew about and likely never would have.
