Need help finding torrents to seed

Have you ever thought that most of the torrents so well seeded exactly because of the ratio requirement? ;)

No, because BakaBT is a pretty well organized site which draws a lot of users. I look at people's ratios on Baka and a lot of them are well over 1.0, which means they are not concerned with the ratio requirements. Anyway, as I said this isn't the place for that discussion. The requirement is there so I guess there's no choice but to try to keep a good ratio. Speaking on which, what's the minimum acceptable ratio anyway? I had a look at the FAQ but couldn't find anything.

Er, that's bad logic. People have ratios over 1.0 exactly because they're concerned about their ratios. Otherwise, their good standing would evaporate quickly. Furthermore, there is no actual requirement to maintain a good ratio, it's optional. BakaBT is a public tracker, and if you don't log in, no ratio is kept. Ergo, people who log in ARE concerned about their ratios, wouldn't you agree?
The minimum acceptable ratio isn't stated, because then people will simply use *that* as their target. A ratio of 0.5 (the threshold for Power User) isn't much to ask, in a P2P community, and considering you don't have to log in at all, I don't see the problem.

Leeching without seeding is bad and people who do that should feel bad. lol j/k...for the most part anyway.
