It's near impossible to meet them unless
you're going to upload content under circumstances that will leave you
open to prosecution.

The whole point of the upload/download ratio system is to stop people
leeching material from the site without keeping the torrent going.

Yes, I'm taking it that you haven't used UKN, umm ever.

Wrong.. I've been a user for almost three years now and, as I said earlier,
have easily maintained a ratio of well over 1.0 across <checks> 96 torrents
downloaded.

Ditto here, you just keep popular downloads seeding for a while and your ratio goes up handily. Unfortunately something odd happened at UKnova and I couldn't log in for a month, so my account expired :-(

Cheers,
