ratio site

[warez d00dz] A 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. See also banner site, leech mode.
