Horrible Upload Speed

[backwacker]

I am using a private tracker and have been getting the "Raise Ratio" warning for about 3 weeks. Now my ratio is down to 0.21 and I am about to banned.

The problem is I can't get µTorrent to seed. I have 5 torrents (497mb to 11.3gb sizes) set to seeding (yes green arrow pointing up) and it doesn't even show the upload speed most of the time (because its 0) . The times it does show it only shows 0.3kb/s max, which will not really raise my ratio.

I have µTorrent 2.0.2 and PeerBlock 1.0 and my speeds were tested and set for my connection speed ( 57.5kB/s up and 147.2kB/s down).

I really need to get this fixed I do not want to be banned and have incomplete files.

What could I check and how can i find the problem?

Which means that chances are, all the torrents are chronically overseeded, but peerblock isn't helping.

Peer-block isn't helping?

Just because of the blocked Ip's or is there something else to it?

because I have to have something blocking Goverment and AntiTorrent Agencies.

If Peer-block is not the best program for this, does anyone have any suggestions?

Stuff like peerblock doesn't do this successfully.

Nothing does.

And blocking IPs won't protect you anyway.

How 'private' it is? If it's as "private" as demonoid, dont bother, just get yourself a new account when this one gets b&.

I PROMISE you that you're only blocking obvious 'government' IPs (who have no interest in monitoring your torrents, and who, unless a criminal case could be constructed - very hard with torrents - would be infringing copyright themselves) and the 'corporate networks' of the Anti-P2P companies. Alas those companies have no need to use them, they can use any IP, including regular residential IPs, and seedboxes. There's no way to tell if anyone is monitoring either, it's real simple to do (I'm making a video to show how it's done at the moment). Heck, it's even easy to identify if a peer is using these lists, and so they can be identified for special attention.

Heck, it's been speculated for the last 2-3 years by some that the blocklist makers are part of the anti-p2p companies themselves. I know if I was running an anti-p2p company (although I did work as a copyright enforcer in the past, I've never run such a company myself) I'd set up some blocklists though a shell, to block fast 'safe' peers, and direct people onto my logging peers. That could be your problem. The fast peers are blocked by the list.
