   No 'aspirations' of anything actually, beyond distributing the stuff out.   
   Plus there isn't a 'wait for an email' - it's immediate. It's done for a   
   couple of reasons that I chose, having registered users allows me to track   
   what people are seeding/not seeding, who's contributing/not & other general   
   statistics. However, no-one is forcing you to use it that I can see....   
      
   As far as having 10-20 seeds, highly unlikely for the material that's being   
   distributed!

   Many torrent sites I use require registration & even enforce ratios (I   
   don't).   
      
   As I said, no-one is forcing you to use the site Chris.
