c-tron Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Hey all, I have a question. It's easier to express it as an example-If I start out by downloading 10 gb and uploading 20, I've got a pretty decent u/d ratio... but as I keep downloading, let's say I'm at 400 and 450 uploaded, my ratio is lower even though the difference is higher.I'm just saying, it gets harder to maintain a good ratio as the volume goes up without some sacrifices. On the other hand, the punishment is pretty bad too for a bad ratio, is it possible to turn this into a more positive situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanm Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Your reasoning doesn't make much sense. The simple answer to your situation is to choose what you want to download more carefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-tron Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Sorry man, but I don't think you understood me. I'm saying that back when I first downloaded the utorrent program, it was much easier to keep a decent historical upload to download ratio.Now it says I've uploaded, let's say 320 gb, and downloaded 300 gb in total. My reasoning is that as I keep going, even if I keep that difference of 20 gb, when I get up to 820/800, 1020/1000, the ratio will keep approaching 1. I mean if I downloaded 1000 gb, I'd need to upload 2000 gb total to keep a u/d ratio of 2. Is that important? Or is only the current u/d important?

Firon Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 The only ratio that really matters is the per-torrent ratio, except on private sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
