That's how peer to peer networks are supposed to operate.  Once
you're part of it, you agree to pass on stuff you've downloaded
to other users.  A typical session will have multiple connections
going both ways, and if your connection is faster than most,
there's a good chance you will be able to retransmit the pieces
of the film you've got faster than you can acquire new ones.

Yes, I realize that, but I was suspicious that after five or
six minutes ten times as much had gone up as had come
down when I was still a receptive newcomer with a high
speed downlink.  I had no idea what I had authorized
it to upload and terminated the operation.

It was just uploading "Nine Miles Down" to other peers,
since I take it that was the only torrent you had active.
There are other ways to download movies on the Web.
Here is one that a friend recommended to me but I
have not tried it:

I prefer torrents because the best thing about movies
on the Web is being able to watch old and rare films
that would otherwise only be available in film archives.

Peer-to-peer file transfer is of course in a legally
grey area at the moment. I happen to know something
about the political controversies because a friend of
mine, Nina af Enehjelm, was a candidate in the 2009
European Parliament elections and campaigned on
ensuring that P2P file sharing stays legal. She was
not elected.

Here she is seeing the sights in New York:

Here is her official EU candidate photo:

She is a former model and here are some old modeling photos:

She is in the tabloids a lot because she is the
ex-wife of a popular singer.
