Ctenos Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Sometimes the upload ratio increases at an absurd rate. E.g., I'm now seeding a 10GB collection; upload speed shows about 30 kB/sec, but it's logging a full upload every few minutes.This seems to happen mainly when I re-seed a saved torrent after deleting it from the active uTorrent window. I just double-click on the torrent file, and it starts uploading. Is this the wrong procedure?Thanks-ctenos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 What is the value for "Downloaded" on the general tab with the offending torrent highlighted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Under the "Transfer" heading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ctenos Posted April 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Aha - you seem to have found the problem. Under the "Transfer" heading, Downloaded = 1.00MB. Apparently, I have failed to seed properly. Would appreciate advice on how to do it right.When I download a new torrent, I leave it seeded until 2X has uploaded. If it's a torrent with few seeds, I leave the download and the .torrent file in the original download folder. Then when there's spare bandwidth, I double-click on the .torrent file, which starts it going again. Is there a better way?Thanks for this assistance in helping to keep the files flowing.-ctenos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 What happened is that something on your system changed one of the files in the torrent, causing that piece to be re-downloaded when you re-added the torrent.It does mess up the displayed ratio some, but it doesn't affect you seeding when all is said and done.

Ctenos Posted April 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Great - as long as I'm seeding properly, I'll ignore the display.Thanks again-ctenos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
