Personally I enjoy seeing the numbers go up. Looking at the current top ten by ratio according to my torrent client most of them are obscure things that I’m probably the only one seeding — but the number one spot, at a ratio of 565, goes to “Shrek (2001) [1080p]”.

I am paranoid to think of such things occasionally, which is why I can tell you that my password is long enough that it includes more than half the alphabet.
