To seed or not to seed?

I'm downloading two Shpongle CDs from bittorrent, it's easier than ripping them. But it's not, because there are almost no seeds. Now if I download it, should I seed the files or not? Seeding them might turn more people on, but it might also decrease the income of Simon Posford...

leeching but not seeding is fucking lame.
if you want to support the artist, buy the cd and go see them live (artists make most of their income through touring/live shows but not so much cds).

Definitely seed. If you're downloading it you shouldn't just take advantage of other people seeding. If you think downloading music is wrong then don't do it. That's my opinion.
I usually try to seed so I have at least uploaded as much as I downloaded.

nope. I use protowall for that kinda stuff.
I like you can select what files you want to download in a torrent that has multiple files. and it runs real light - many options as well.

Yeah I always seed up to 100%, but should I keep it in my seedlist to support the artist? There are almost no seed. Hasn't even fully downloaded yet.

Yeah, protowall conflicts with some of the stuff I run...

Azureus has that same option but runs like an elephant on a wicker bridge.

Oh, I know what you meant now. That is a good question then. I lean towards seeding. Especially when it comes to Shpongle, think of all the great trips you will help.

it might even turn trance heads onto psychedelics, which might be a good thing.

yeah, I think once g3 is further developed a safe peer integration might be included. I believe its only at 1.01 - it has some bugs, but I like it better than azureus - although I havent tried the new azureus. maybe I should go download that and see whats up.
