Must do how much seeding?

[geo1]

Trying to understand seeding.

Yes, I did read

and

Once downloading completes, then seeding 'only' begins.

Seeding by itselftakes a long time.

My Questions : How long are we required to seed?

- Until seeding oompletes -

- Until seeding is more than what we downloaded -

- Until seeding is ½ way through -

Thanks much in advance,

There is no real requirement, but you should be uploading until your ratio is around 1.0, meaning you've uploaded approximately the same amount that you downloaded.

That's what I mostly do now. Thanks for your quick reply!

Letting them upload doesn't seem to slow down computer wk, even though some of this seeding is ~ 1 day.

I'm new but I already DLd 27 elements.

For the first 10 I only waited until ½ way seeding before zapping'em.

Did I do a very bad thing? I am contrite! How can I make amends?

If you can, you can always seed those torrents again. Otherwise, if you want to make it up, just upload more on other torrents

Yr happy smiling symbole mad me feel good. Thank you much. In compensation for my bad comportement, I shall over-seed for 10 future downloads. I'm in Paris - things are different here.

It was your willingness to make amends and share that was encouraging in the first place
