While simply setting the speed to 0 will set upload speed to unlimited, there are several ways to stop uploading, although I can't clearly remember everything as I don't often use torrents and when I do* I don't have to fiddle with upload anything.DoPo said:Indeed, you are correct - you can set the speed to 0
Well, technically you can do it, however, it's a breach of the torrent protocol and is achieved through cheating the whole system.
And yes, while not uploading makes you a bit of a dick and will get you kicked from private trackers, not to mention going against the whole idea of torrenting in general, there's nothing stopping you from doing it on public trackers. In cases where only uploading the material is illegal I'd say being a dick is better than being sued.
*I don't always use torrents, but when I do, it's for legal stuff. Don't want any overzealous mods banning me because they're getting the wrong impressions.
