moogly Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 In theory, ratio 1 is enough. It depends on the torrents you're seeding. If they are really popular with a ton of seeds, you can seed to 0.4 or 0.5 then stop. About rare torrents or torrents you want to keep alive because they have only few seeds, you can share endlessly.In addition if you're using a private tracker you have to follow its ratio rules for each torrent you download.

moogly Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Nope, it's completely disconnected. When I meant 'rare/popular', it was about the contents, it's related to your appreciation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
