i can't tell exactly which 200 people had that cup of coffee.

we are talking about raw numbers not exact people.

even if you are hidden behind a proxy, the count of your download still happens
if it didn't you would not know which person is capable of giving you a piece when you request it.

nore would you be able to track ratios.

BTW those number are also the reason why i don't want to waste my time doing this stuff for real in porn
because will only 6% of the downloads are porn they represent 25 % of the torrents offered.

While tv shows represent 49+% of the downloads and only 10% of the torrents offered

in mainstream i compete against 2.5 less people for a market that 8 times bigger.



add the fact that the seed ratios suck and therefore cause a serious speed penalty to downloads/

That does not mean i can't turn a profit doing this, but for every hour spend i would make way more money in mainstream by an order of magnitude.
