Switeck Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 Not really, but it could be a lot worse.It means you have shared back 75% as much as you downloaded.If someone else doesn't upload MORE than they download, that torrent is dead...nobody else can finish it.

subyroo Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Switeck - what is a fair and equatable share ratio to aim for before freeing up space?I'm a nooby to this P2P game so I don't want to mess things up for others going by your post above.

Switeck Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 1-to-1 if you can, upload 1.5 times what you download if you are able.Anything more is probably unnecessary.Any torrent that has no (or few) seeds, multiple peers, and an availability below 2 counting yourself needs a lot more help from you than a torrent with lots of seeds and few peers. No need to simply make torrents FASTER for others, you're needing to free space...so best to keep torrents alive that would (likely) otherwise die. ...And stop the rest even if you haven't reached 1-to-1 ratio, because you're not needed there to "save" them.If you find out a torrent is junk due to the file/s in it being garbage or low quality, don't feel the need to continue seeding them. There's LOTS of fake torrents out there that should be spotted and stopped as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hanzo Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 I've been a uTorrent user for quite a while, but never had any questions until now...Mine is very simple. I always set my ratio to 1.5, however in uTorrent 1.8 when I specify the "1.5", I click apply then Ok, when I reopen the preferences, it says only "1" do I need to type "150" ? I see some of the older torrents I'm seeding at ratios over 3.0 so I'm not sure... I'd like to archive the files that have finished seeding (or should have)Thanks! and sorry to bring up a year old thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Yes, 150 = 150% or 1.5 ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
