ratio site

   [warez  d00dz] An 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}.
