Single User, Two Computers
« on: December 27, 2010, 04:33:55 PM »
as the topic stated, can i use two computers from different locations using one account? i am currently using my account, and my sister wants to use it too, but she lives in a different country and doesn't want to create a new one so she ask me if she can use mine. i've read the Wiki and i haven't encountered anything there regarding this matter. thanks for your reply.  :)

You can use different computers with one account. As long as the computers don't seed/leech the same torrent all is fine. Furthermore it is not recommended to log in your account on a public computer.

beware though that if your sis should decide to get her own account in the future it will likely pop up as a multi account (thus will get disabled eventually) due to the fact that she was using yours before.

in addition avoid seeding the same torrent from two different locations at the same time - this can cause stat irregularities similar to stathacking, which would result in a suspension.

Also, if she totally messes up your ratio. You're liable to fix it.

i'll just stop her from creating one, hahaha,

i've warned her about it, and told her to seed too  ;D

thank you all for your replies  :)
