Switeck Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 It is fair and fitting to at least upload as much as you've downloaded.Anything more is being generous.There are times that if you must you can upload LESS than you've downloaded...but if everyone does that, then torrents will all die -- and this "fad" will end.

reggiekeene Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 I am new and have a question I have downloaded two files One large one 6.58 GB and it finished the download on 9/22/07 so far it has uploaded 16.5 GB So I wonder How long will it take to finish?The second is 3.17 GB Finished D/L in 9/24/07 and has u/L 12.2GB. I have tried to reduce the ratio, but I guess I just don't understand how.ThanksReggie Keene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanm Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Option > Preferences > Queuing - You can set a global value here.You can also double-click on a torrent and Override the default setting above.Remember the values are in percentages. For example, if you want to seed double what you downloaded, then you put a value of 200 in the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pas.sie.f. Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 I had a (maybe very stupid) thought 'bout uploading. First this:Only since a few weeks I have my own computer (me 31), a Medion Notebook. There's a lot I don't know and 1 was that I can go on the internet wireless on someone's else's network. Somebody told me and I'm still suprised how easy it is. @ home, my coffeeshop, in the park, I'm surfing... & downloading/seeding!!Thought: when I'm seeding I used to stop when I uploaded as much as I downloaded (want to seed more but don't want to bother other one's network to much, they don't even know!) but there's still a time running. So I waited to time run out the same when I'm downloading (my god my english) and when the last sec. were gone I stopped seeding.So when the uploadvalue is equal to download it means I just shared that much MB's with other people but NOT the whole file. That's shared totally when the ETA time is 0.Ehm, do I make any sense? Difficult for me to put something into words the easy way, especially(...) in English. Thanx anyway if you tried to read this! :-)And if anyone has someone as anything to tell, have tips, links or warnings 'bout me being an illegal surfer, even more thanx!

Switeck Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 You can potentially share 3x or more the size of the torrent, and still not have sent a complete copy out...because certain parts keep getting duplicated over and over again -- such as people who want to download the FIRST file in a multi-file torrent first.
