shoestringconcerts Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I have been seeding a dual layer DVD for 26 hours now in Initial Seed mode and i have uploaded 5.5 out of 7.38 gigs in about 26 hours.But no one on the peer list has more than 25%, even though I have uploaded about 75% I have been in initial seed mode the whole time, I am the only seed and the torrent has had 20+ leechers most of the dayI uploaded a DL dvd 2 weeks ago that was about 6.5 gigs and had to upload 8.8 gigs to complete but i didnt start initial seed mode until after about 30 hours of seeding. Here are some currect screen capsAnyone got any ideas?i dont want to have to upload 25 gigs to share a 7.38 gig dvd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 ... you started it in initial-seed mode? Are you SURE. If it's only 75% and noone has left, either your MAIN peer left or lots of people are faking stats. It doesn't get to the end until you complete 1.0 ratio :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 What BitTorrent clients are getting the "lion's share" of your upload? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoestringconcerts Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 i am not SURE i am initial seed mode, but it says i am, and i chise it when I started the seedi cannot tell who is getting the lions share of my upload but about 2/3 of my peers are using utorrent, the rest are using azureus and bittorrenti dont think i had a main peer leave, i have been monitoring and havent seen any radical changes that would indicate thati have now uploaded 7.82 gigs which gives me a 1.06 ratio and the most anyone has is 38%I will have to turn off my torrent shortly since I dont leave my laptop running when im not home, maybe the info is just spread out and this will give my peers a chance to share, but i dont think thats the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Check the properties of the task to make sure one way or another regarding initial-seeding being on or off.If it's off, that would explain the major bandwidth waste.

shoestringconcerts Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 i checked and it is onim just going to not worry about it, it is saying i have about 14=17hours of seeding before this completes so im going to hope that is true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexrex02 Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 I am initial-seeding 2 torrents currently and the ratio reading for one is 5.8 and the other is 46.8 (that is five point eight and forty six point eight). This seems slightly wierd. The ratios should be under one if I have not completed the initial seeding. Is this a bug or have I done something to mess up the software?

thelittlefire Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Are you sure it was initial seeding? You downloaded any data according to the General tab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
