Chaotica Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 I feel incredibly stupid for being so confused on how I can seed so I can share, and I just don't understand how ratios work. I've been online for over an hour trying to find clear answers to my questions. Perhaps it's information overload at this point, but I am lost. I may not provide the correct information or even ask the question in the 'right' way but I figured I might as well post directly to this forum. Essentially, I want to make sure that I can share as much as I can, which I guess means keeping a good ratio??Perhaps I have set my bandwidth incorrectly and that's messing everything up? Obviously I haven't a clue as to what I'm doing but I appreciate the opportunities I have with this site. I have only picked up one thing so maybe that is also a problem? I have kept it open and it does say seeding...I'll just give all of the info I have and maybe it will make sense to someone out there:0 (112) seeds 85 in swarm ?? (which changes slightly)24 (121) peers 59 in swarm ?? (which changes slightly)Down 753 mbUp 168 mbShare ratio: 0.238Avail: 7.994Down & Up limits : nothing thereDown speed: 0kbUp speed: 20.5 up to 26.5kbSpeed test results: Down - 14533, Up - 755, Kilos per second - 1774 down & 92.2 upBandwidth window: Max upload rate - 72Global Max Connect - 450Max # connect peers - 100# upload slots - 5Use additional slots if greater than 90%This is all of the information, perhaps way too much, that I see and am confused by??Sorry if I am just making it worse...I appreciate any input.Thank you very much.

torrero Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 your share ratio=up/down or 168mb/753mbYou downloaded much more than you uploaded, atm. just leave it running until your ratio reaches 1.000 or higher. there are still 112 seeders available, which means that all the other peers are currently downloading from other seeders.your settings are looking good.just leave it seeding and you will notice that your ratio for this torrent slowly increases to a better ratio.

Chaotica Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Wow. Thank you. Thank you. You managed to make it perfectly clear to me what is going on. I did not realize the answer could be so simple to explain and ultimately understand.Thanks again!Kristine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Try my Speed Guide alternate settings for 700 kilobit/second upload....Though you appear to not be uploading anywhere near your current upload max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
