Share ratio

[threelions00]

What is a decent share ratio? I have read that it should be like 1 and a half...

I want to join a private tracker so making sure my share ratios are good would be a good start...

I have just reformatted my pc hence i have bad share ratios at the moment but i leave them going near on 24/7

Cheers, 3lions

[threelions00]

btw...i have had d/l speeds of over 200 kb/s and upload of around 80k/bs if that is any help...

a good share ratio is 1.0 or better

Cheers, 3lions
When you join a private tracker, your share ratio will be set to zero. The only thing that will affect your share ratio with that private tracker will be what you seed and leech from that private tracker.

Any other uploading and downloading you from other trackers - whether public or private - won't affect your ratio with that tracker.

What I'm getitng at is that formatting your PC won't make any difference to your share ratio for a private tracker because that info is held on their servers.

As IKE said, a good ratio is around one. With your upload you shouldn't have any problems with that.

[threelions00]

IKE, i did not break any rules there. Either give advice or just leave me to it. i am fed up of you continually telling me what to do. you did this last week so stop trying to push your weight around and leave me alone. Thank you

You will no doubt delete this on the grounds that it is not in the right place so please move it as opposed to deleting it.

You dont need to post another reply when you forgot something, you can easely edit your first post. :huh:

[threelions00]

which is my choice whether i edit or submit a new post.

[Vargas]

your "share ratio" used by the tracker isn't stored locally, so reformatting won't reset it.

edit sorry if manker covered this, i have him on ignore :lol:

That's what manker said but thanks to you both for the help...

just have to wait for some invites or something....

btw...i have only just got back on the net and wiped everything clean and wasn't a member of any trackers which is why i was not sure about share ratios...

[Vargas]

having a good ratio on a couple torrents, when your overall total ratio is around 0.100 makes you a bad guy, not worthy of getting invites

As i said in another thread, (What is a decent share ratio? I have read that it should be like 1 and a half...

I want to join a private tracker so making sure my share ratios are good would be a good start...

btw...i have had d/l speeds of over 200 kb/s and upload of around 80k/bs if that is any help...)

i have just started downloading again so my share ratio is not like shit hot yet...

The idea of this thread Vargas is just to make sure i am heading in the right direction to get an invite, not have someone become judgemental on me and declare that i am a bad guy for having a bad share ratio.

Although, i do accept i did not make it 100% clear...as always...

One last thing, how can i find out my total share ratio?

Cheers, 3lions

[Vargas]

when i said bad guy, i was refering to what the private trackers will think of you, not you personally.

but back to the subject, you're downloading 10 times faster then youre uploading so your overall ratio is around 0.1, you need to upload as much, if not more then you download to have a good ratio (good guy in the eyes of the private tracker)

in other words: you will have to seed your torrents until each torrent has a ratio higher then 0.999 (on avarage)

as long as you keep seeding, and don't stop or remove torrents with a ratio below 1.000 (1:1) you should be OK

i know you didn't mean personally!

what i tend to do is download something like a game and then will not download a lot and just stick to uploading...trouble is, my internet connection has been cutting out a lot and so when i leave for work and then come back, it has cut out and so it has not been uploading as i would it to...

but hopefully i am heading in the right direction...

would you say that 1:1 ratio would be fine? or more?

Cheers Vargas

[threelions00]

One last thing Vargas....

what if i have a file that nobody is uploading and it keeps my share ratio low? that makes me look bad when i can do nothing about it...

[{I}{K}{E}]

seeding so many torrents doesn't work. it's better if you just seed a couple of torrents. (the once with only a few seeders)

you need to disable 'distributed DB' in Azureus if you want to use private torrent sites.


you can check the statics window of Azureus if you want to see how much you downloaded/uploaded to all trackers (and see what your overal ratio is)

well as long as your total uploaded data is greater then your downloaded data you're ok, but keep in mind that having a ratio of 2.00 on a 40MB torrent won't balance out having a 0.500 on a 700MB torrent, as you would still need to upload the 40MB one to a ratio of at least 7.75 to make your overall ratio 1.00

if i were you i would stick to public trackers, and leech away ;)

[threelions00]

Ok..my over all share ratio is 0.781

I will disable that feature and please could you define how many a few is because it is ranges from like 3 - 90...so should i leave on like 4 or 5 with 20 seeds or less? If that makes sense?

[threelions00]

that's the thing tho, i don't just 'leech'...

i try to go to different sites and upload torrents so that then hopefully more people have access and more seeds...eventually...i hope that it will be quicker in the long term but we will have to wait and see...

5 or 6 is good.

You should check the difference in seeders/leechers, if there are 40 seeders and 1000 leechers you should seed that one instead of one that has 5 seeders and 20 downloaders

[threelions00]

My question was not fully answered...would i need to restart all torrents again?


i am not planning to uninstall azureus just use another client. In my application data files, i have the torrents, could i just copy this folder and keep it and open torrents using that to share them if i set the new client as my default?

@IKE stop closing my threads please unitl they are fully answered, i will let you know when i have all the info i need as you have seen i have done that before.

[GepperRankins]

i think so.

what you'd have to do is open the torrents in your new downloader, then when it asks where to save, select the files you've already started downloading. it should resume them like usual.


it worked when i switched from torrentstorm to azureus anyway

[{I}{K}{E}]

if the torrent isnt finished yet and you want to change client you can open the torrent in the new client and choose the same savefolder

[threelions00]

IKE...at what point did i mention stats? Try reading it properly...you are so fucking stupid at times and jump ahead too much, give your brain a chance to work before your ass kicks in to answer.

I asked if i would lose all the torrents, didn't mention stats dickhead? I am done with this place, you ruin it for me, whatever vendetta you have against me you can keep, as far as i am concerned, you are a shite moderator, not a touch on any of the others like rossco, lynx etc who will always give help and advice as opposed to things like 'use the search function' or 'you really should edit' or you give answers that just about touch on the subject and then close them because you deem them to be fully answered.

You should have a good look at your modding approach and try to be helpful rather than just putting your efforts (what little you do put in) into helping.

Thanks. 3lions

EDIT: Move this to the correct place if need be.

i will do, PM someone that is, probably ask Rossco or lynx...then i won't need to explain 18 times...

And another prime example of you putting your own misguided interpretation...

'better forum'....i said that when?

I'm wating for a PM so it may be a few days yet. But thanks for the offer of deactivating my account.

How about now you give me an explanation about the problem you have with me so I can just laugh at you and let you carry on being a goit.

EDIT:

I have no problem with you.

You just need to understand that all my posts in this thread were made because I was trying to help you. :dry:

[threelions00]

How? By deleting my posts last week? By closing my threads? By offering me great advice such as search for the answer? How about you trying to be a bit more helpful by offering reasonable explanations to the post that put the time in to create a post that they felt necessary to gain further knowledge to help them solve a problem instead of clicking a few buttons and just getting rid of it. I accept it when I break a rule and I accept it when you move a post but it would still be better if you had some etiquette and offered explanations.

Thank you.

And with regards to the last post you closed about the top mod, it was another classic example of you assuming without asking.

I don't even remember which one of your posts I deleted last week :P

You know we have a search option.
As you can see we have a bittorrent section with +2000 thread.

If you don't want to use the search function and one of the mods closes your thread because your question has already been answered you dont need to get all pissed off. :dry:


Using google or our search fuction isnt that hard. :frusty:

[threelions00]

So why no explantions?

Using a spellchecker isn't that hard either. Why don't you write your replies in word, spellcheck them and then copy and paste them into the reply box, that way you would make more sense.

Its feckin hard to get you're ratio up on a private tracker,I should know been trying hard on one I joined got it up to .994 now overall,it is a struggle cause I can d,load a lot faster than up,and some have the rule that when you've dloaded x amount that's all that's allowed till you're ratio is up above 1,so it's back to the public ones and just hope the torrents i'm uploading stay live

[threelions00]

manker, freedom of speech is a wonderful thing, so i accept your opinion. Don't agree with it but I'm not going to bother with insulting you...especially as mother nature probably already did that for you.

And Chrissie, go back to your little hobbits and show them what a nice little easy girl you are by letting them have you 3 by 3.

Well all is answered now i guess, so close the post if you want IKE, you have my full, expressed opinion.

Insulted me, for some reason, just before he left then too.

Peerzy, I read before that he was a teacher. It's pretty easy pwning an 8 year old who isn't allowed to call him an idiot, but obviously when dealing with grown-ups he's sadly lacking in social skills. Preferring to throw his toys out of the pram and flounce out - never to return - when people think he's an arse.
