5 torrents is bullshit.
I have 525 seeding on my server now.

Let's share it. :D

I hate seeding my torrents this way through Transmission. Especially with FiOS - I get an average of 80KB/s uploaded and takes forever for me to get a 1:1 ratio on anything I download. I have to do the sneaky trick of placing a RS download in the download folder of the torrent so it checks for existing data etc.

You'd download the file(s) and place them where a torrent would be opened. For example if I got thisisatestfile.txt from RS and got the torrent from what.cd, I would place the RS download in ~/Storage - where my torrents open. That way Transmission thinks I already downloaded the same file and wont download any actual data from other people but in part will upload to the people who are downloading it.

Yes...isn't that ratio cheating? And isn't it bannable on most if not all trackers?

No - ratio cheating is something else, which I still haven't touched base one. Many people on what.cd willingly admit to doing this; there's even a thread where one user talks about it as his strategy to becoming a Power User in 20 days.

If it's the wrong file then the hash checks on your client will fail and it won't send it to anyone else. If you bypass this and force your client to send the wrong parts then the receivers hash checks will fail and most clients ban peers that send bad packets too many times.

Guys, can you help me on this:

Sort the following formats from highest to lowest average Bitrate::
a. 320 kb/s MP3
b. 192 kb/s MP3
c. FLAC
d. V0
e. V2

Those who help, get my first invite.

EDIT: I believe it is in this order: C, A, D, B, E

1. You're borderline wrong depending on what you call V2. I would specify that while V2 has an average of ABOUT 190kbps, it is not always and can be higher or lower, but at any of those it almost always beats 192kbps MP3.
2. You won't get an invite until you upload at least 25G or donate money
3. Learn that shit. Hydrogenaudio Knowledgebase:Main Page - Hydrogenaudio Knowledgebase
They give you a link to EVERYTHING you need to know as far as bitrates go in the very IRC channel where you get interviewed.
