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.
