Jonny5isalive Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Hi, I'm new to all this so please bear with me... In order to keep my share ratio up I am required to wait until the download has fully seeded, i.e. 1:1, is this correct? Am I required to leave downloaded files on my computer for others to be able to link to them? If you understand what I mean. Where do the seeded files go once they are complete? I'm just a bit confused is all. Many thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmybaz Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 keep the files on once yourve downloaded them, then your a seeded, 1 compleated file is one seed.Its so other people can download off you,if yourve downloaded 1 gig and someones uploaded 1 gig of your seed(s) then your ratio wll be 1.0, to get 1.1 you need to upload slighty more than you download.And lastly all your downloaded and uploaded file are the same and go in the same place(file dont split into two) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zopfan Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 1. You start downloading (from other peers). At this time you're also uploading a bit. But this is not called seeding. You're a peer only.2. You complete download. At this time, don't change anything (JUST ANYTHING, NAME, PATH ETC) of the downloaded material. You are a seed now and your computer is uploading for others. If you change/stop uploading, you're a leech, a despicable peer.4. If you downloaded 100MB in first step, you're expected to upload at least around 125MB in this step.5. And after 4th step, you can now move your downloaded contents (and change them) anywhere and as you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Press F1 in the uT window to bring up the user manual. And utilize http://utorrent.com/guides.php to ask some more questions.As they both said, your files don't change location unless you tell it to. YES of course you need to know where the data is to share it, BUT you also must have the torrent STARTed. So it will say "Seeding" instead of "Stopped" in the status column.

Jonny5isalive Posted November 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Thanks all for your help. Do the downloaded files have to remain on my computer after completed seeding for others to get them? Or are they stored elsewhere after I've uploaded them then deleted them? Many thanks.

Ultima Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 If you've finished seeding (and stopped the torrent), you can do with the files whatever you wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
