sumobear Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 I have d/l a few .avi files and my ratio is about 0.09%Uploaded: 1.38 GBDownloaded: 15.09 GBRatio: 0.09on demonoid.comI leave my machine on all the time, but not many seem interested in d/l the stuff I have gotten, perhaps the stuff I have been getting is old and there is not much intrest in it.If I were to d/l something new and popular that many people seem to want, would that help my ratio? I need to research my bandwith options too, mabey I can increase the bandwidth options for the folks that d/l from me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ognirc Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Yeah, the more rare something is, the less seeders there will be, and less people will be downloading it. So that means you'll have to seed it longer. This is one reason why I have a dedicated hard drive for file sharing. Consider it a "catch" to the whole getting-things-for-free.One reason why public sites are nice is because, if a torrent dies, someone can request it and chances are it will be uploaded again. In such cases where I have to abandon an inactive torrent, I'll usually burn similar content to a disk in case it's needed later. Disks are cheap, $0.25 per 4.4GB. Organizing the disks can be a pain though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megadanny1 Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 right click on a torrent click properties and then make sure the max upload is set to the most kb per second you want if you set it to 0 thats unlimited hope this helps you i have the same problem on the old files new ones you can get 50kb+ on others 3kb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 2nd link in my signature can match your upload speed to conservative settings in uTorrent that are slightly more suited to uploading fast than uTorrent's Speed Guide CTRL+G settings.But if you're ONLY seeding, you can set max connections per torrent at only 5-10, as any more will just sit idle 90+% of the time.
