|
||
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. See also <a href="../B/banner-site.html"><i class="glossterm">banner site</i></a>,
