Why do you seed?

Actually, now corporate offices have a higher speed. I was doing my internship at my Dad's office in Indian Airlines, and he had a 32Mbps connection. He was actually getting a d/l speed of around 3.5-3.8MB/s. Too bad he does only office related work on his laptop. :( He doesn't listen to my requests at all. :'(
2000-3000 is kind of a less number. This maybe true for "hardcore" otakus. I have about 30 friends here who watch Anime or read Manga. But whatever I recommend. Only about 8-10 of them do their own research. But these friends are like "friends of friends"... kind of outside my circle... which is just me actually. :P
But generally, everyone laughs and scoffs at me when I tell them about how the violence in Blade Of The Immortal is much better than a Kill Bill or a Pulp Fiction or any Bollywood movie. All they say is, "yeah, but dude why would you watch fake blood and animated sex?!" And they call me a "bhenchod, your a kid!"
Fake blood? You don't say? And movies have human/goat blood supplied to them everyday, is it?
As far as animated sex is concerned, that's just fuckin' awesome. Deal with it.
I hate it when these fuckers just randomly utter bull shit without even watching it.
PS: bhenchod = sister fucker... I think.

Even if they do their own research i don't think you can call them hardcore Otakus.
Well for them to be called Otakus they need to be like us :P
Eg. i haven't watched a movie for more than a year now...last movie i watched was in May 2011 :P
i went to watch a movie last week with friends but gave up the plan drank some beer and i went home to watch some anime. :P
Well there is no use explaining it to them. They are immature so let them be.
And if they think that you are a kid... tell them it is better than opening a porn site and masturbating(i can say this because i do not watch Hentai) :P
And you don't have to listen to them... true friends don't stop you from doing anything...which is not bad
my friend actually likes watching some anime... although he is not an otaku.
we really are getting off topic here....
so just to stay inside the topic... well most Indians do not bother to seed back anything... 99% of them are like this only.

actually for a regular person a 8/8 mbps line would be plenty, with 24hours of usage thats 86GB a day which is roughly two series's worth of download.
hence i don't understand why people need speeds more than that for torrent usage, at 1MB/s or 8mbps it would take 20mins to download a single episode at 1.2GB file size, so every time you finish an episode another would be ready.

I'd say 1 mbps is all that you need
i have 512 kbps line and a laptop dedicated only to anime.
i download and seed 24 hrs a day...
still i end up downloading more than what i watch even at 1080p quality.
Copperstone:
^^ I agree. But 8Mbps is freakishly expensive here. There is a plan, but about 2,399 INR ($44 US) and ONLY 150GB of data download. After that, a cap-on-billing of about 2000 INR($40 US). This is just bs.
Unlimited plans of above 4Mbps are just too expensive. :'(
@Dhruv... 2Mbps would be perfect for you. Am using that right now... unlimited. No capping bs.

I seed because this is my own way of giving back. Not so long ago I've had a terrible upload rate but since I switched my isp and now I can download and upload faster. I find it fun seeing my ratio go up and getting my money's worth from my isp. I leave my computer on for days seeding back to bakabt and demonoid but more so bakabt since some of these torrents need more love.
Also that feel when there is one seeder and the torrent you really really want takes forever and you constantly check the status bar makes me want to seed as well.
