zoki Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 I always when dowload something, when finshed that put torrent open for seeding more than I download. Statistic show me that I download 9.44 GB, upload 10.7. That was ratio more than 1.0. But when I download some torrents after finished download I culdn't menage ratio more than 1.0 for days, because nobody wants that or maybe 1 or 2 peers. My connection is 256/128 and speed guide is xxx/128. When I download pupular torrents the upload is max, but these torrents have 1-2 kb max or less. Can I stoped before reach the ratio more than 1.0? For popualr torrent I have ratio more than 2.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 For popular torrents with lots of seeds and high availability with lots of peers, you don't need to seed till your ratio reaches 2.0 -- people will finish those torrents without your help.But those torrents with no seeds and more people trying to get them, it's only fitting you seed those at least to 1:1 and hopefully till others CAN complete the torrents from others. If there's just 1 person/peer on them -- stop that torrent too, they can just be out of luck.But if there's 2 or more peers and only 1 or no seed, they can share between each other...but need what you have that they are all missing.You can also put in a slightly faster alternate upload speed while not downloading. Maybe even make it as high as 13 KB/sec, though your web surfing may suffer beyond 10 KB/sec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoki Posted October 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 I always put bigger speed when I'm in office, but for those torrents for whole day there no peer and upload rate is 0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Also try to keep your number of torrents low. With 128kbit upload 3 or 4 torrents should be the max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfire Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 @Lord Alderaan: For 128kbit upload, I'd actually recommend only keeping it at one active torrent of any type at any given time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoki Posted November 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 In options in "queueing" I put maximum number of active torrent 2, and maximum number of active downloads 1. I think that's best for me and others. As I see that mean 1 download and max 2 to upload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Yes, if you have only 128 kilobits/sec upload (hopefully 12-13 KB/sec useable!), then if you must have 2 torrents active then it's good that one is only uploading...otherwise it would be more choked.
