yellowdog_9 Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 (and a quick thank you for all the help I've already found by browsing here)I've seen some different answers around...what is the general concensus on how much is "doing your part" to reseed? the torrents I've dloaded so far are fairly obscure (<10 seeds - took forever to dload), and I'd like to help keep them active Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 1.0 ratio or thereabouts is generally accepted as the main goal users should aim for. Anything higher is a bonus, but it's always good to try to keep swarms alive for as long as you possibly can. If you see that a swarm has less than 2.0 availability while you're seeding, then you might want to stay connected. The number of seeds isn't as important as the availaiblity.

AnonymousOne Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 My rule of thumb ...porn - 1 - delete movies - 1.2 - deletestuff I like -1.5 - burn to diskaudio files (usuall small) 1.7rare stuff - 2 or more - try to keep it around even if I have the torrent stopped incase someone asks for it later.Small files I just let run until I get tired of hosting them. It is easy to get a 5mb book up to a ratio of 100 and easy to keep on your hard drive because it is so small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Alderaan Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 I try to seed back to 1 but if there are no other seeds I usually keep seeding until either I've made a couple of more seeders or so many people hit-and-ran I got fed up with it.

Smoovious Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 In a way, it is kinda funny how much Barockoiu didn't wanna upload to his fellow losers... like, how did he think he got the file in the first place... .. .-- Smoovious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
