ratio site

An FTP site storing pirated files where one must first upload something
before being able to download. There is a ratio, based on bytes or files
count, between the uploads and download. For instance, on a 2:1 site, to
download a 4 Mb file, one must first upload at least 2 Mb of files. The
hotter the contents of the server are, the smaller the ratio is. More often
than not, the server refuses uploads because its disk is full, making it
useless for downloading or the connection magically breaks after one has
uploaded a large amount of files, just before the downloading phase begins.
