TanyaC Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Hi, I've been reading posts here for a the last hour or so and I've come across some confusion (?) regarding seeding. Since I'm new to this whol torrent thing I would like to ask for some clarification about seeding, if I may.In the preferences there is a seeding goal. It defaults to 150. So if I download a 10gb file, the seeding goal would be to upload 15gb?I read that uploading while downloading is not seeding and is not counted towards the seeding goal. So if, while downloading this 10gb file I upoad 5gb, then uTorrent says my share ratio is 0.50, which I gather is 50%.So, with the same example in mind, if I set my upload goal to 150, then conceivably I will upload 20gb before reaching the seeding goal.Am I understanding this correctly?I don't want to be a leech, but here in Aus ISPs are real lame. They typically limit upload speeds to 90KBps. Don't know what it's like for the rest of the world. So, even if I set my upload bandwidth at 0 (unlimited), the best I'm going to do is 90KBps, whereas I could be downloading at 1MBps, which means it's going to be extremely difficult to achieve my seeding goal. The other lame thing about Australian ISPs is that you spend a lot of time uploading without downloading they jump on your pretty quick.Does anyone have any constructive advice that will help me avoid being banned by my ISP and be a good torrent user at the same time? If you could please rememeber that I'm new to this stuff, as was everyone once, I'd appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
