That said, I do empathize with you. Jumping onto someone else's upload is bad behavior and poor netiquette. It is unfortunate that it happened to you, and I hope the bad experience does not make you stop visiting the site. It happens sometimes, but not all the time. And at the moment, there is no rule against it as it would be almost impossible (?) to police and track.

It could be completely accidental.

I have a lot of videos and I cant keep track of everything I have when I'm going through torrent pages.  Many times I end up with several versions of the same video and I'm sure that at some point I have done what's discussed here.

I usually recommend to hang onto them for as long as possible. Usually after a while, some of the torrents will disappear into the abyss. When this happens, it can be a great time to start reseeding the torrents, then ask a mod or the helpdesk to promote and/or freeleech the torrents to cash in on having saved the content over time. This is a big part of how I keep my ratio so high.

That said though, I know that not everyone can afford several 3TB SSD drives to store everything on. Also, not everyone has the kind of upload capacity that I do.
