Nah they used a leeching client. No upload at all.

Gotta have some upload just for the protocol traffic tho.

I would assume that the requests sent from the torrent client to download data are not factored into the Upload amount for the torrent. When they mean no upload, it would be that none of the data in the files they downloaded were shared with anyone else, making them a piece of shit leecher.
