Example:A forum that shares DVD's.There are about 1000 members.
They created a private place where when you upload 1 DVD a week as gratitude for the 100 or more DVD's you get access to every month.
Most of those members upload files to a free storage site that has about 100 gigabytes of bandwidth.So a DVD that is ripped is about 600 to 1400 mb.So about a 100 people can download the movie.And if that's not enough the person can always upload the file to a file storage site again.The bandwidth thug does not contribute but with only steal the bandwidth.
Usually not even 1 or 2 people can download the file because the bandwidth thugs post his links on warez sites that have about 10.000 visitors a day and files that were ment to be shared on your forum are dead within a hour.
