I think that this is a much better system than most download sites where 
leechers take all the good stuff but never seed any of it back.
This seems to be a much more 'permaculture' solution in fact.  It seems only 
fair that you can only take as much as you contribute.

Tomorrow there will be three or four free leeches.
I think that they are scheduled for about 00.00 GMT which is about breakfast 
time for me.
Just jump on these as quickly as possible and let them seed back at your top 
speed over the weekend.
That should give you a few gig to play with and will soon give you plenty 
more if you repeat it every week.

If you can also share a few new torrents then you can easily boost your 
ratio.  There are thousands of documentaries out there that have yet to be 
listed on the geeks.  And there will always be a group of eternally grateful 
individuals on site that will be so pleased that you have decided to share 
something.  Me included.
Permaculture stuff is especially popular here and you will make lots of 
friends if you can share something new.

This particular site is quite easy in terms of ratio maintenance.  My own 
ratio is well over 15 and growing, and I live much of the time in a part of 
the world where the internet is only slightly faster than Pyongyang.

If you can handle this site then I look forward to sending you invitations to 
libraries that are really tough, but equally rewarding.
