AnonymousOne Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 I created a video that explains how to get a good ratio and thought that someone at utorrent may want to post this in the utorrent company web site FAQ since getting banned is a big problem for most people.I understand that I do talk about a particular tracker but it could be any tracker's name put in there ... everyone has the same problem no matter where you go.Part 1+2http://www.veoh.com/videos/v495081p7ZfjJgRPart 3+4http://www.veoh.com/videos/v495107ceWjNEZCIf you want to watch the whole thing with out the break in the middle click here but it requires a download where the other links you can watch on line.http://www.veoh.com/videos/v495120NFeynTbfSince I use utorrent there are some utorrent references in there.Just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoovious Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 ...I can't think of a good response right now, but my vote... that doesn't really fit into the scope of what we're here for.If you want to get a good ratio, you leave the torrent alone when you've finished downloading, and your ratio will go up. We don't really cater to tracker-/index-specific needs. If an index has seeding requirements for their community, it is up to you to do what you have to do, to meet them.-- Smoovious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousOne Posted May 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 I hear where your coming from but the real concern is that if people have a bad experence with ratios they are likely to switch back to Gutrenella or some other type of P2P. Any type of P2P where ratios don't matter... there are a bunch of them out there :-(Thats a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 The thing is, the sites that try to enforce ratios are trying to do something with the protocol that it was never designed for.People who go to ratio enforcement sites first are just asking for problems.In the healthier swarms, ratios don't matter. It's all about having good settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Thats the idea behind ratio trackers. Increasing the number of healthy torrents by generally forcing people to seed back what they leech. This way it is posible to Bittorrent more content and makes less popular downloads viable for distribution through Bittorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousOne Posted May 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 May be it can go here ?http://www.utorrent.com/guides.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Probably not. We do not provide support for trackers and their communities (We get enough irrelevant questions as it is.). Tracker statistics (and thus all the information related to it) are outside the scope of the Bittorrent protocol, thus outside the scope of µtorrent and thus outside the scope of this website.Besides this vid is for a specific tracker. A lot of information is only valid for that tracker.Also we expect people to read through the guides before asking question here and the video totals over an hour of viewing material. Besides you can't search through a video on keywords and we can't refer/link to a specific paragraph in it from this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 A few of the "strategies" to keep your ratio up on private trackers, such as allowing a lot of upload slots per torrent and running LOTS of torrents at once...so you can try to upload to the few peers attempting to download those torrents at any given time....May be counter-productive in terms of actually providing the most upload speed for the amount of upload bandwidth you have to spare.Uploading at 100 KiloBYTES/sec total on 10 torrents to 10 upload slots (people) each (average of 1 KiloBYTE/sec per upload slot) takes more upload bandwidth than uploading to 5 torrents with 4 upload slots each. (average of 5 KiloBYTE/sec per upload slot) The second one creates more completed pieces for other peers to share as well, and seeds quicker as a result...assuming minimal leeches.

AnonymousOne Posted June 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 I totally agreeTaken right from my video power point slides ... ------------------------Keep sharing all your seeds and use the pause button to limit the active seeds.How many active "in use" torrents is your limit ? ½ Mb speed = 4 torrents1 Mb speed = 8 torrents1 ½ Mb speed = 12 torrentsMb speed x 8 = recommended numberPersonally I wouldn't go beyond 20 torrents.(in the audio part I say that "ofcourse if 4 torrents are not max'ing out your upload speed then you need to enable more" )----------I am pretty sure I covered ALL the bases :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Upload slots is as important as number of torrents at once.Gotta love the guy who sets upload slots to 100, thinking he's being more "giving" to more people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousOne Posted June 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 More from the vid----------------------Seeding Over Head: If you have 300 file seeds (shares) advertised but unused the network traffic required to keep the Bit Server Tracker updated about those seeds is about 16KB worth of data. This update happens about every 5 minutes.This works out to .08KB/s (file speed) or .64kbps (network speed) to Seed 300 Files. Since Seeding Over Head is a far cry from one(1) kbps to seed 300 files and most people seed less than 100 it is not a factor in the calculations. But if you want to factor it in add:200 seeds = .5 kbps (bits for network comparisons)400 seeds = ~1 kbps 800 seeds = ~2 kbps3000 seeds=~1 KBps (Bytes for file transfer comparisons) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
