Hi Guys
I am new to Bit Torrents.
I am now a member of two sites and getting to grips with things.
What is a good ratio of uploads to downloads to keep, so that I have something to aim for and to be fair etc. I try to leave my client online for a while.
What color is your Adkaf ?

you should try to seed every individual torrent back 1:1. if you can't, seed as long as the site rules demand.Originally Posted by digmen1
same goes for the global ratio. 1.0 or above is fine on every tracker.

Actually the best thing is to leave your torrent files in the client for the longest possible period to maintain the viability of torrent so other users even if they come late they will find the torrent is seeded & download without fear,you can also at least reach the ratio of 1 or more as you like , or more simply fellow the tracker rules found in the faq regarding seeding ratio & seeding duration

Personally I never stop seeding anything I download until it's time to clean out the hard drive (6 month-ish rotation) it averages out at about 3:1 for most of my sites with a few hundred GB or so buffer.
I mainly use ratio free sites now where I happily leech, seed forever & donate too.
Currently seeding 150 torrents, after a small clean up

The important in p2p world is have an ratio 1:1, and keep the torrents active much time than u can.

seed as much as you canyou will get a decent ratio for every torrent... and try to learn about parcial seeding later if you're upload speed isn't that good

Chunk seeding is particularly effective at sites like TL & RevTT where you have an initial wait time and lots of leechers, some sites actively encourage it & at least 1 will not tolerate it as it messes with their seed point systemseed as much as you can
A couple of chunks of a popular PC ISO game or DVD-R will get a small buffer to start experimenting with what else works in no time

Minimum is 1.0 but I recommend 3.0+

why 3.0+ ? many users can't achieve a 3+ ratio... it would be more coherent to recommend them to seed as long as they can.Minimum is 1.0 but I recommend 3.0+
whenever people agree with me, i always feel i must be wrong.

1 is okay if you don't have speeds or there is another case you could join a tracker that has no ratioMinimum is 1.0 but I recommend 3.0+
