Perhaps he is going to set it real high after he&#39;s downloaded the film and let it seed until he gets a 1.00 share ratio?

edit: Though it is a bit suspect that he has blurred out his share ratio and upload speed. :unsure:

[E-squirrel]

my upload rate was on 25 which is all my cable modem can handle. What am I supposed to do about that? I can&#39;t upload any faster because it just isn&#39;t able to

But will you be seeding it afterwards until you get a 1.00 share ratio?

[E-squirrel]

Yes..that&#39;s what I always do..I leave it on while I&#39;m watching it

[E-squirrel]

yes, the movie&#39;s I usually watch are like 2 hours long, I put it set to SEED and it uploads at 20-25 and i stop it when it gets to 1.05 or something

Hey shout, we can all see that your UL speed and your total uploaded MiB are edited.
Its also quite noticeable that your share rating smiley have been edited.

Why is this, really...? :rolleyes:

[Monkeee]

lol i bet you that edited it or blurred some of the image out probally dont even leech aftter <_<

lmfao thats the worst editing on earth :lol: :lol:

oh yeah and that 1 person getting 211 kpbs is a lucky damn person :lol:

I can see through the blurriness - his share ratio is in the :( rank &#33; :( Although I can&#39;t read the number - it must be bad if he wants to hide it in the first place&#33;

[E-squirrel]

i blurred out the stuff that doesn&#39;t have any meaning to the post. the post is talking about my download speed using bit torrent and how it&#39;s the fastest I&#39;ve ever had, also inviting others to share their download speeds.

"Gotten" is actually a word in America though. Just as "racecar" is a word there but it isn&#39;t in the UK

[Titus808]

I can&#39;t believe you guys just posted all that evidence :lol:

The share ratio is just the upload/download. It&#39;s not exactly rocket science

There&#39;s NO point in hiding his share ratio because it can be calculated using the non-hidden information. It is 0.113.

He&#39;s also lying about having his upload set to 20-25 KB/sec in the picture. It&#39;s uploading at 14 KB/sec to (supposedly) 4 users max because that&#39;s what he has it set to. There&#39;s really no reason to HIDE any of that information -- just hiding the filename is a good idea.

Sadly, he&#39;s downloaded more than the size of the file reported at the top of the picture&#33; This suggests bad connections somewhere -- possibly HOSTILE SOURCES&#33;

Because the file is nearly done and appears to have enough sources to easily finish downloading, increasing the upload rate to 20 KB/sec and max users from 4 to 5-7 won&#39;t hurt the speed much -- it&#39;ll still finish downloading and you can get a share rating of 1 or more a little quicker. No point wasting upload bandwidth if it&#39;s not significantly hurting your download speed. B)

When it finally finishes, you could possibly increase the upload rate from 20 KB/sec to 25 KB/sec... or possibly even as high as 28 KB/sec. This is assuming your upload max is 256 kilobits/sec.

[war59312]

I always download that fast and aways upload at 40kbps. Thats my max upload speed so cant really do anything about it. :(

[Altimit]

I hate you all :( I can only download at a maximum of 160Kb/s (usually on BT it doesnt get over 100 though). I can upload at about 100KB/s too though :D

[Voetsek]

if i get hooked uo with a lot of fast poeple i get a faster speed than that ha ha

You can&#39;t bork on the guy that much.

I can get a few hundred down and only can only all 13 up. If I leave it on cable fast I&#39;ll wind up getting capped from my provider at 128k instead of 1mbit.

Ah well.

If I leave it on cable fast I&#39;ll wind up getting capped from my provider at 128k instead of 1mbit.[/quote]You simply cannot exceed the speed of your connection -- especially on uploads -- without BAD things happening. Even if your ISP doesn&#39;t further cripple your connection, pushing upload speeds to absolute max only results in hideous download speeds and ironically REDUCED upload speeds compaired to &#39;nearly max speed&#39; uploading.

I am not asking you to upload at &#39;unlimited&#39; speed -- I highly recommend AGAINST using that setting.

I in fact think it is BETTER to be using super seed mode and &#39;average&#39; upload rate over a LONG period of time rather than using normal seed mode and a faster upload rate for a shorter period of time EVEN THOUGH in the second case you upload MORE. This is because with super seed mode you are giving the NEEDED parts to the swarm of downloaders to share among themselves. With regular seed mode, you may be uploading the same parts multiple times to different users while they NEVER get the missing parts they all need before you reach 1:1 ratio for uploading to downloading.

Note that with LOTS of downloaders/peers and many distributed copies between thm, super seed mode DOESN&#39;T work well. It&#39;s when the number of downloaders is few and/or a FULL copy of the file cannot be created by them sharing the parts they have that super seed mode is really needed. If there&#39;s lots and lots of downloaders, you&#39;ll end up sharing 1/10th of a chunk to lots of users and they won&#39;t be able to upload ANY of it till they get a complete chunk.

File chunks are typically 256 KiloBYTES in size, although they are often larger for movies. Even at 10 KB/sec upload rate to 4 users, splitting that equally means they each get 2.5 KB/sec. So it takes about 1min 45sec to send out a chunk to each person -- however BitTorrent likes to &#39;jump users&#39; on uploads a LOT if there&#39;s lots of users, so it may take considerably longer before you send the 1st chunk to ANYONE. Until someone gets at least 1 COMPLETE file chunk that somebody else needs, they will not upload anything.

Even a 1:1 upload:download ratio is only a general rule. Some torrents have SO MANY seeds that you can&#39;t upload fast on them because all the peers/downloaders are maxed out in speed&#33; Others need far more uploading JUST to keep those torrents alive&#33; I try to keep my upload bandwidth at least 75% used even 24/7 -- since I cannot save it up and it&#39;s separate from my download bandwidth.

For those with bandwidth daily/monthly caps, I recommend uploading at a (much?) reduced rate but over a longer period. You don&#39;t have to upload 1:1 with your downloads, but you BETTER NOT exit the torrent (unless you&#39;re just rebooting and/or will return later) if there&#39;s no other seeds&#33; At least make sure all the peers/downloaders have at least 1 (preferably more) distributed file copy between themselves.

Something new I&#39;ve started doing is starting FINISHED torrents immediately after rebooting, because these can start uploading immediately while I search for and/or start new torrents. After new torrents start uploading, I either slow or exit these finished torrents so the new torrents can upload and hopefully download at full speed. Once again this is because I cannot save my upload bandwidth up for later use... so I might as well give away all I can. :)

Isnt&#33; What kind of word is that? Isn&#39;t it spelt with an apostrophe? Let he who is without sin cast the first stone&#33;

Why don&#39;t you leave the Yanks alone to brag about their download speeds and try to con each other with phony screen prints.

[Bebi]

eeerrrr... who cares what speed he got he knows if hes lying or not :music1:

[CPU1]

i see you were dl freddy vs jason dvdrip xvid
u lied about the upload thing because if u look at it closely the upload rate is between 10-40 or so and its more closely to 10 if it was to 25 or more it would be closer to the middle

[Voetsek]

The moreyou choke your upload speed the faster you download thats how it works
for a few clients any way the more poeple you candownload from the faster you can go with like just hope there not on dial up

i am down loading at 5/6 yep from 1 seed and its a huge file so i still got 80+ hours to go who cares no one

wrong. that is only in some cases

[Voetsek]

seems to depend on the client some now seem to stop this

[CPU1]

yup ur right. some clients wont allow this

[exo_body]

how the hell do you people get these speeds?????? i got adsl but using BT the highest i usually get is around 40kbps, at the moment ive ones running at 2kbps.
please tell me how you get such high speeds :(

[Voetsek]

Getting 871 (total speed) Bittornado adsl/slow shows 33 peers 1 seed


clocked 952 weeeeeeeeeeee Total speed ok

[Voetsek]

Ok i am stupid if i was able to do the screen grab thing i would tell me how and i will try to prove it then like how to post that stupid yes do i care NO does it matter no

On ADSL it would be virtually impossible to have a speed of higher than 64KB/s (because 512 divided by 8 is 64). And that&#39;s assuming everything is functioning at its best. ;)
Maybe the person now has only a 56K connection.

Oh and to do a screen-grab, you press Print Screen, go to Paint and press Edit > Paste, save it as a JPEG file, then upload the picture it somewhere.

[99shassan]

How do you work out the share ratio with the info given?

[true_neo]

Upload/download
:)


Oh and a side note to Switeck:
I suggest you post that information in the BT Tips section.
Your single post answered ALL the questions I had back when I was a newbie at BT (ah the times :lol: ), so your post would be a valuable asset to the Tips section.
Although I understand your post works best on the Shad0ws BT Client (based on the settings names), with a few settings name changes by repliers to said tips thread it can be easily as informative for Azureus users.

Your post could very well become the thing users can refer to when met with leechers who whine about their capped connection and use this as an excuse to leech.

Keep up the good work mate :01:

Ironically, it&#39;s due to people using the default upload speed of &#39;unlimited&#39; -- this stuffs up their connection and makes BitTorrent think they&#39;re already downloading at max speed. So if you DO limit your upload bandwidth BELOW your connection&#39;s max upload speed then YOU are far more likely to get a fast download speed than the other users -- this of course ASSUMES you are not firewalled though.

In the picture, it&#39;s quite possible that with only 4 downloaders (3 peers+you) and 50 seeds that the 50 seeds are able to saturate everyone&#39;s download bandwidth.

The longer people leave BitTorrent open after finishing a download, the more likely that is to happen.

I don&#39;t even bother trying to get a 1:1 download to upload ratio on those torrents -- instead I spend my upload bandwidth on OTHER torrents that are desperate for seeds&#33;

[Monkeee]

lol yeah its so hard to get a 1:1 ratio on torrent bits.... funny to say but to many seeders... not enough leechers.. lol.... :D

How do you download at such a high rate? I have a really fast ISP but i keep downloading at 10-20 :&#39;( and my upload is so high like at 100.

[Cool_Guy]

One more thing, how come your BT torrent has a green light? my has a yellow light? how do you get the green light on?

[CPU1]

ugh i hate this question. the yellow means only u have established connections. and others havent attempted to connected to you. usually this happens because u havent forwarded the ports bt uses (usually 6881/6889) if not u might have a firewall so just open those ports

[Cool_Guy]

how do i open the ports?

may help i use the this one under Prefs
