Yes, me - and you already asked me.

I've never uploaded a thing there, and my ratio is just fine. As I told you before privately, you should download all the Featured Torrents (even if you don't watch them all, but you'll find most of them well worth your time) and keep them, and everything else you have, seeding. Put everything you have on a separate HD and leave your ports open. That's all I do. It's really not difficult. All you need is a little discipline. I bailed you out once before - this time it's up to you.

Plus you can always watch a film twice. You're not Pauline Kael.

and if you are, it sucks that you are pretending you're dead and not still writing about film for our edification.

Dan's right - and some of the featured torrents are pretty great, so if you're stuck just watching them for a while it won't be the end of the world.

also if you have all your torrents sharing during their occasional freeleech, that is when ratio can build up a lot. it took me a while to get to a safe ratio there, and I am far from a heavy user, but most of my uploading has happened during freeleech (I only got a few featured torrents early on, I stopped doing that although it does make sense).

Yes that's partially true, but there is also beer involved in this money laundering thing I got going on. Can I download some food on karagarga too? harharhar

Anyone else having difficulty accessing KG? I keep getting this -

SQL Error You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '>= first AND <= last' at line 1
in /var/www/karagarga/include/global.php, line 1100

If this is just me, or are you getting the same message? (God know what it means..)

If you have 11Gb of free space, I recommend snatching the new Featured Torrent (Steve McQueen Wanted Dead or Alive Season 1) - in my experience, the big KGFTs are excellent ratio boosters (I picked up more than 50Gb of bonus on the Boris Karloff Thriller seasons). And it looks like it's a good one!
"The first season featured a stellar line up of stars from film and television including Michael Landon (Bonanza), Warren Oates (The Wild Bunch), James Coburn (The Magnificent Seven with Steve), Ralph Meeker (The Dirty Dozen), Steve Brodie (Winchester '73), Deforest Kelley (Star Trek), Kenneth Tobey (The Thing) and Clu Gulager (The Killers)"

I'm having crazy trouble with these Raul Ruiz films. Sometimes they say there are English subtitles when there is not. I can't figure out the forum, because of a different password or something that they require. If anyone knows where I can get subtitles for "Nadie Dijo Nada" and "Palomita Blanca" it would be much appreciated. And also, what happened to the 12 DVD collection? Ruiz is the most overlooked director who needs a Blu Ray upgrade imho.

You need to create an account on the forums to grab the fan subs linked from torrent pages. See #3: https://karagarga.in/introguide.php
No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.

It says on the karagarga site that there is a 3 day free leech happening now. Does that mean the movies you download on the site for the next few days, do they not count towards your ratio? If so I'm going to buy like 5 more harddrives and download like mad.
