Necro'ing this year-old reply, quick.

Don't overseed? Is this the whole "you can torrent in ZA just as long as you don't seed" thing people keep saying here?
NGL it's the reason why I basically neuter by upload and have a ratio limit set to 0.1.

If you seed forever, you become a target for copyright enforcement robots. No other reason really.

I meant in terms of the law and torrenting, that gov. doesn't go after people for downloading but they do if you're uploading.

But that's also good to know. :thumbsup:

Whether you upload or download, it is still transmission of copyrighted content. They can hit you up for uploading or downloading.
 
I'm getting articles not found errors on everything I try.

admittedly I now very very little about usenet but I was wondering if it's only for text or can I use it to download videos too?

Are the settings still the same or has anything changed?
