I have been disappointed by the quality of some torrents that I have 
D/L'ed, had credits stolen at some sites, and learned a lesson about 
some of them having trojans and trying to follow me home (ONE of the 
reasons my torrent box runs a *nix).

I belong to a UK shows site (http://www.thebox.bz) that demands
high-quality files (and high-quality seeders) or they boot them -- as
does at least one other occasional member of this list, IIRC. Since I
tend to keep what I D/L as a torrent so that I can seed and gain credit,
I thought this might be a way for me to see whether a series is one I
want to save or view once then throw away.

Kids shows are another example.  My daughter watches a series once then 
never looks at them again and I don't want the D/L hit on my ratio if 
there is no reason to keep it.
