Stats completely out of proportions...
Al_Sleeper:
If you have not noticed, BakaBT is NOT a US website :).

I thought you were referring to this number:
--- Quote from: BakaBT main page ---Overall ratio of our pooled peers is 23.073.
--- End quote ---
Well, that would fit your estimate. xD
But as registered members are encouraged to seed, i don't see this number going down anytime soon.
I also wonder if freeleech is included in that, now that you speak of ways to get your ratio up. *thought of downloading some freeleech torrents to get some activity on my account*

Average ratio and global ratio aren't the same thing, assuming that global ratio is the total amount downloaded through the total amount uploaded by all users of the site. They don't equal the same value.
Freeleech is only included in the upload amount.
...and as Al_Sleeper says, BBT has nothing to do with the US :)
Edit: I meant uploaded through downloaded, of course.

I'm not certain how to check that. xD
Anyway, when people said something was licensed they always seemed to refer to the us, so i was certain it must be a us website. ^^'

How come it isn't the same? q__q
*can't figure it out*
Arr, it's almost like uni here. D:

--- Quote from: Saikoro on June 26, 2013, 03:58:15 PM ---But i wonder what my ratio is like, as i already did download one freeleech torrent and also seeded it a bit... wouldn't it have to be "infinite" then?
Quite out of proportions then, imo. ;)
--- End quote ---
Yes, it would be. If you look at your profile page, you should be seeing an infinite ratio.
--- Quote from: Saikoro on June 26, 2013, 03:58:15 PM ---Well... as a total noob (look at the questions i asked xD) i've no idea what to do about this "problem". Guess the best thing to do would be to not take those numbers too seriously (like making important decisions only based on such numbers). I mean, the mods probably aren't stupid, so it should be okay.

For starters, don't seed on the private tracker the stuff you downloaded off the public tracker? That's really all I'm saying.
--- Quote from: Saikoro on June 26, 2013, 03:58:15 PM ---Yeah, i think i've had my account pruned once or twice already. I'd like to prevent that in the future, but not sure if it's worth it. After all, when i remake the account, my comments and stuff will be back again too, right? *not certain about this*
--- End quote ---
If I'm not mistaken, your comments will remain when your account is pruned. Your name will just no longer link to your profile. I've seen many comments like that and I assume that's the reason.

You notice how the site ends with .me? US websites are mostly .com and .us. Never .me.
And yes, they always do refer to US companies, because only US companies are dicks about copyrights. Seems Japan's been jumping aboard the DMCA bandwagon recently, but it's been slow and not really on the anime side.

Heh, indeed! This is awesome!
It even has a little smiley next to it. ;D

Now that you mention it, i remember seeing those kinds of comments too. But most of them were quite old, so i thought it may have been because of the website move and members not coming over or something.
I should seek out an old comment i made and have a look. If i can remember where i posted...

I don't think the domain name has anything to do with it. Though i live in germany and bought german webspace, i could choose to put almost any kind of domain on it (but they all cost extra, so i stuck with .de XD).

Geez, i see.
It was confusing, because you'd think if the japanese companies who made the anime series could, they would complain first about them being available on the web. So i thought "It's probably because you can't sue them if they're in another country."
If it's just that they don't care, i guess i should really be thankful. XD
