Swarms like that are a magnet for the copyright mafiaa. Get off it before your IP is noted. Still it's your funeral >shrugs<

I would guess that in such a swarm as you describe a very, very high percentage will be hit and runners who have their upload either completely switched off or severely cut down.

There are such animals as Port 80 Trackers, if this torrent is running on one and you still connect through a proxy then you will not be connectable, and there is zilch you can do about it.
