Thanks for all the congrats guys. I don't lurk on the forums (mainly just on IRC) as much these days so I didn't see it =P
I haven't seen him bragging about it. now that's what i call awesome.
wonder if he's using as server/seedbox or home connection the entire time though.
As someone else mentioned (correctly) I seed both off my home connection and my colo'd machine. My home connection is about 75 megabits up. My colo has 2000 mbits of upload capacity but I am pretty much limited by number of seeders and disk I/O more than bandwidth on that box.
I limit speeds severely during peak usage so it doesn't increase the billable (95th percentile) usage of the connections I am on so my bandwidth usage on bakabt pretty much doesn't cost anything on my colo'd server (my home connection does run $215/month though).
I should go into stalker mode and go steal all his anime. I know he used to live in corona but im guessing moved to pomona/chino if he got fios lol. Only 15 minutes from me.
Yup! I used to live in Corona and now I live right on the border of Chino/Ontario, heh.
I also just bought 90TB worth of hard-drives to add to my already 100TB (combined storage of all my machines) so I have about 200TB of storage total right now.
I actually have downloaded several TB off this site but a lot of them have been freeleech (1080p) or during the freeleech period. The only time freeleech was actually tracked (as freeleech) was the first time it happened and I know I downloaded almost 800GB just during the first one and even more on the second one.
My average upload rate is quite off due to the fact I used to upload a lot slower than I do now so its slowly increasing my average. Just in the last year my upload average has gone from 3.10 MB/sec to 5.08 MB/sec.
My real average upload speeds (lately) are around 18-20 megabytes/sec on weekdays and 26-30 megabytes/sec on weekends.
Its amazing how much I was able to increase seed speeds simply by using torrent clients which were more I/O efficient.
