Time for me to complain.

Here's what's truly pathetic about this section of Queenzone:

People just download, a few say thank you, others request things to be reseeded, but there is very little discussion (if any at all!) regarding what they have just downloaded. Pitiful.

This kind of discussion could be helpful for someone who doesn't know anything about the recording. They could read a few posts with differing opinions, and then decide if they want to use the bandwith to download the material.

But whenever have QZ and logic mixed, anyway? Everybody will just keep leeching regardless of what anyone says on this matter, but I just felt I had to complain about this anyway.

I realize this is the annonuce section, but I thought I'd post this here so some leechers who don't surf to other sections of the forum could see it.

Look at yourself. You are asking too much. You're greedy, leecher.

1. WE NEED share ratio... Whoever uploads less than 25% of whatever was downloaded shouldn't be allowed to download anymore.
2. Discussion... Well- how many of those who download those shows give it more than one listen...? I'm sure we could find a large number of those who don't listen to it at all... It's like with Houston- when it appeared it was much quiter tahn I thought it would be. C'mon- ppl were wiating for years to hear that and than... and than they wanted Face It Alone, Kanazawa, Liverpool'73, Drummen- you name it... If they got Drummen- they'd probably want sth else ANYWAY... Always more and more. And only few ppl are actually grateful about the whole torrent thing... In fact- I have a feeling that since the torrents this site (or ppl visiting noticeboard) dramatically changed... For worse... A lot of bitching always was here, but now with all thos eopportunists... Dunno- see point 1. Share ratio would help a lot!!!

Hahaha, if the majority of your posts weren't in the announce section asking people for things, I might have taken your comment seriously.

Ratio is definitely a good idea Fenderek, but who would put that into place and monitor it? How would one keep track of how many Mb have been downloaded?

I have downloaded a few things from here, not many, because, without wishing to sound ungrateful, once you've heard one poor quality recording of a 1975 concert, really, you've heard them all, if we are being honest. I don't know enough about the ultra rare stuff to comment, but I still fail to see what all the excitement is about sometimes. Take that Buffalo thing, for example. What's the big deal with a 2 minute silent recording, of a song we've all heard a thousand times before, and got better videos of? Is it me?

Anyway, whenever I do download something, I not only give back 25%, but it's usually more like 100%, and if I see a request for seeds for something I have just downloaded, I always try to reseed it for a few hours.

Just my two penneth, for what it's worth. :)

Richard said a couple of months ago that he was going to implement a share ratio system and thats fine by me. But my problem is this - although you can do this with the torrent stuff, how can you put a share ratio on stuff uploaded to RapidShare for instance?

There´s no way to put a share ratio on stuff uploaded on Rapidshare...

Sorry to say, but uploading stuff on Rapidshare must be forbidden in the future!
So, no more "rapidsharing" please...

RICK, do you know the difference between verbs ASK and WANT? I ask if some concerts can be shared, I want that those concerts be uploaded!

I use the first form, so what do you want from me?

I upload many things on queenzone and you can't say anything on my way, ok?

In my language it says: 'damandare è lecito, rispondere è cortesia', so before attacking people learn to control yourself!

PS: sorry for my little english, but I try to speak another language, not as RICK that knows only his own! Bye.

I've only recently found this site! I've tried downloading a few torrents (also something that I'm just learning about). I haven't thanked the original uploaders yet. It's not that I'm ungrateful, I'm just not very good at getting around to all the things I should. However, I have made sure that taht my share ratio has been at least 30% (the last one was 80%).

One difficult thing to know is what the quality will be like. Some bootlegs are very good, others are almost impossible to listen to. Anyway, minor quibble.

BTW, I went to Queen (and Paul Rodgers)'s last concert at Hyde Park. I don't have anything to share, but you can see just a few of the pics I took at this web address:

An 80% share ratio is nothing to brag about, much less a 30% ratio.

I don't think that Roger37 be a leecher. In my concept leecher is the one who only care download. But Roger has uploaded a lot of gigs and song.
By the way, many people only asking for shows, songs o other stuffs, even making condittions. Those people really sucks.

I wasn't bragging. I was stating. They were just examples. Are you implying I'm not meeting your standards? In which case maybe you'd prefer me to go away, to not contribute at all? Fair enough...

Stay, leave, whatever.

Just reminding others that a share ratio of less than 100% is leeching to some extent. Obviously, 95% is a bit more forgivable than 30%. The only thing that keeps this alive is sharing.
