barsudo Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Not sure if this is a speed problem or a seeding etiquette issue ...First time I have had this happenI downloaded a older movie torrent .... came down fast at 300-400 kB/s ...As per etiquette I am seeding it back .. however after seeding for a week I am only at .067 ratioas this rate it will take months to seed back to even 1:1 (I usually seed to 1.5:1 or so depending)seeds are 0(16) and peers are 3(10) at the moment speed varies between 0 and 1 kB/s ... (with nothing else running up or down)there are 8 trackers listed (all that isoHunt had)I have no problem seeding as other torrents will typically be seeded back to 1:1 within a day or two ... with unlimited upload speed set my ISP usually allows me about 100 kB/s up So my questions:Logical explanation is that it would seem no one wants the torrent?!Given that I don't want to leave my hardware up and running to seed at 1kB/s, I don't want to leave the torrent resident forever and I don't want to leech what does one do? Suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Run other torrents along with it and just "forget" it's still there for a few weeks/months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humpty Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 You can always stop it (not delete it) and then restart it the next time you turn on your pc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WLS Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 I have been seeding (off and on) a 3.13GB file for 5 days 21 hours now, and it is only up to a ratio of 0.424.I usually start it up in the evening, and let it run all night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BD Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 Sounds like someone with a heavy duty internet connection is seeding this torrent.I know that there was a time when almost every torrent you could find could use some more seeds, but today a lot of torrents are overseeded. Find something that actually needs seeding and seed that instead, that is much more useful anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
