JimW Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 I only use Torrent downloading very occasionally, and just last night I saw that I was expected to upload something if I downloaded something.I don't want to be going against proper procedure but howdo I go about this? First of all, What sort of thing should I upload, and where to? Also a few hints on how would be appreciated.ThanksJimW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems it is impolite to just take stuff off the Torrent without putting up (seeding?) more.JimW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciaobaby Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Yep, that's about it, you only HAVE to seed to a certain level if you are a member of a private tracker site. If you just find torrents on public trackers and indexers, how much you seed back is between your conscience and your ISP limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus upload happens in parallel to your download. In most cases, people just expect you to keep running the same torrent you downloaded for some more time after you had downloaded it completely so that new downloaders can get it from you. How long is upto you. You can see the ratio of your upload/download below the Ratio column against each torrent listed in µTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
