I have the unfortunate circumstance of living in an area where the only internet available is DSL, with an upload of about 13Mb/s on a good day. While I like the idea of being able to torrent a file and then seed it to help out others, I feel like this is a setback that may result in my contributions not resulting to much. I think I might be able to serve as a "last ditch download", but I don't think me seeding is going to leave any positive impact in the pool.

Still, I will seed where I can; I do not want to leech. Does my bandwidth limitations even effect the seeding process at all, though? Or am I just clogging up the line?
