Thank you Darkside,
I try to seed to at least a 1.0 ratio on opentrackers, but I don't feel safe on those letting them run for long periods of time. That is another reason I would like to get into a private one with people of like minded attitudes. And with all the stuff going on with sites (such as KAT) I want to prepare for the worse..haha
I will try to look around some and try to learn the ins and out of this new game... I have been around for awhile, but have not investigated it much. I have a friend at work that has been part of a private tracker for a long time, but he said that he is not even allowed to invite anyone (they are completely closed) :-(
Once again, thanks for the info and tidbits of info to keep in mind.
