Seed. I’d rather have at least one whole copy in a swarm versus a bunch of really fast peers that don’t have the complete files.
Yeah, this.
It's annoying as hell waiting 6 weeks for someone to come online with that last 3%.
Anything I find like that I seed as long as I can
I have my seed box limit upload bandwidth to quite a low value, not because I hate leechers, but because I have to spread out my available data cap to maximize availability over the long term. If I blow through my data in three days I'm not as much good to the network.
