Stealth-Seeder

Stealth-Seeders are people who only download a segment of a torrent instead of downloading all of it.

There is nothing wrong with only taking part of a torrent, there are some things you need to be aware of as a stealth seeder.


 * 1) Both Stealth-Seeders and seeders will now receive the upload bonus (if the torrent you are downloading has one) as soon as they upload, so stealth-seeders won't be penalized for not downloading the full torrent.
 * 2) You can use it to leech one favorite game in a torrent 1st, then resume the rest.
 * 3) If you are low on disk space you can nab a bit at a time. paying back ratio, burning off to DVD then resuming the torrent.
 * 4) You can get only the games in the torrent you are interested in. No need for non English ROMs in the set or alternatives if you don't want.
 * 5) You can manage your bandwidth better, avoiding the shitlist, it is a good alternative to download throttling, just getting the ISO for example you want, one at a time.
 * 6) Because you don't have 100% of the torrent, you won't be offering 100% of the torrent, meaning that potentially your upload could be slower.
