Upploading 24/7

[chesa]

Hello everyone I have an account with a couple small torrent sites like iptorrents and bitsoup they have a couple good torrents that i have downloaded the thing is i like to seed to get a good ratio i leave my computer on with the torrents seeding 24/7 does great for my ratio but i was wonder how many other people leave there computer on for long periods of time when seeding. I know a couple of friends who have to share a computer through out a household so they cant really do it. How about you guys.

If you have trouble keeping a decent ratio then you should do whatever it takes to improve it. Seed all night or all week if need be. For my purposes I have never needed to seed overnight to give back at least 1:1 but I usually give back 3 or 4x the download amount and I am off the torrent but to each his own. I have, near the end of the month put up alot of gigs to burn off the extra stuff but not to much.

Some guys seed the whole ttl of the torrent but that is sometimes for e-penis but if that is what they enjoy then more power to them. My friend wont pay for a box and has a pretty poor upload with his ISP so he uploads overnight and usually he wakes up to a nice ratio and can move on to the next one. Matter of personal opinion and that is mine :)

:O i used to do that with my computer in the living room by remote control...yea i'm lazy. I've stopped since i don't need to have a ratio above 5 and my electricity bill slightly decreased :happy:

I have a 768Kbps conn so I have no choice but to leave it on for long periods of time. Though I am the only one using the net.

I have not shut down my computer in weeks and when is on is seeding :)

Usually I just need to restart when I install some software or updates.

me too 24/7:whistling

hoping to rent seedbox soon so my computer can be rest for a while :sleeping:

[Wilton331]

It sucks for me because I only have a laptop to do all of my dling and seeding so it gets ridiculously hot. Are seedboxes compatible with laptops? Or how exactly do they work?

Pretty close to 24/7 from my home and sometimes I use a 10mbit connection at work (which can be utilized for about 5mbit without disturbing anyone) that helps me keep or build a ratio at trackers that are difficult to upload to.

The larger problem most likely is where you download (and have to seed back) as some trackers have short windows in which seeding is still possible. Of course on large trackers (ie bitsoup has about 100k users after all, TL 200k) there will always be people who jump on a torrent late. On those trackers the solution is easy: keep seeding and leave your pc on. On others you might want to think about helping your ratio in other ways that require more work and attentiveness.
