How does ratio help us?

[jighil]

hi there!

i want to explain my question in example:

let assume:

1. i download FILE1.torrent from thepiratebay.org. i begin to download and upload the file it refers to. finally i reach 1, in my ratio

2. after that, im going to download FILE2 from btjunkie.org

_ does my last ratio influence download speed and my priority in downloading FILE2 ? and how?

_ is there any necessity to keep FILE1 in utorrent after reaching the expected ratio (1 or more)? i mean if i remove the FILE1 before start downloading FILE2, does it make difference in my priority in downloading FILE2?

_ can i download a bunch of low size files and keep their ratio upper than 1 and increase my speed in other large size files??

please explain these and other information that i need

Ratio normally has no memory...the only very indirect way it affects each other is if you're uploading to the same people on both torrents -- they end up needing less of their own download+upload to get the files from others and may have more upload to "spend" on you.

Private trackers *WILL* ban you if your ratio with them is low.
