-"download-only users" as you're telling them how important it is to seed and give back after taking the resources

I also don't have ports forwarded. You can still connect to some leechers, it just takes longer to reach 1:1 ratio (months).
Imo for torrents that have hundreds of seeders I wouldn't worry. But for torrents that only have a few seeders, just use symlinks or copy the files, and keep the originals seeding.
