Are you a leecher?
If your seed less than 150% of what you download, you should be ashamed!
I always seed to 500% if not more. :D

i seed it to 150% , when i forget how long its been seeding for :huh:
You're an idiot.
1) I'd like to see you upload 500% on a 60gb file of a DVDR box set, only people who could realistically do that is if they were the original seeder on a T1/T3 line.
2) 1:1 Ratio is all anyone should do.
3) No one's going to admit to being a leecher.
It's impossible to always seed to 500% if you use 28 day trackers like TBs or specialist music trackers like Oink. There simply aren't enough people who want what you've got. Tho' if you use TorrentSpy a lot, then I guess you can.Quote:

In reply to Peerzy
First of all I [B]always seed to 500%, because my computer is turned on and seeding 90%+ of the time. I use Azureus and I stop uploading at 500%.
Also, why state extremes situations no one's ever going to encounter? The largest files people download do not even come close to 60GB. So think before you choose a ludicrous number.
I have DSL 768K, which is perfectly capable of handling approx. 5 uploads at any given time with enough bandwidth conserved for other internet activities.
And I don't appreciate being called an idiot, so I must say that you are pitifully pathetic if you aren't capable to rationalize your insults and post more than one-word affronts.
I leech all the time. I don't upload whatsoever :01:
Why isn't there a wtf option?
I need a wtf option.
Damn good post :)Quote:

768 divided by 8 will work out your max KB's per second (Thats what BT reads transfer speeds as)
768 / 8= 96kb/s
Now depending on your ISP your upload will vary from 16kb/s up to a maximum of 96kb/s (I've never seen an ISP that offers more upload than download)
So lets round 96kb/s up to 100kb/s just to make the maths easier.
We all know there is 1000kb's in 1mb. And for example lets say we downloaded a 700mb movie and would be seeding that to a 500% ratio.
So we need to do 700 times by 5.
700 * 5 = 3500 (3.5GB)
Still with me? Good...
Time it would take to upload 1mb would be 1000 divided by 100 (Thats 1000 because 1mb is 1000kb and 100 because 100kb is our max upload)
1000 / 100 = 10
10 seconds per megabyte.
So now we need to do 10 (seconds) multiplied by 3500 (The ammount we are going to seed)
3500 * 10 = 35000
So it'll take up 35000 seconds to upload that file at 100kbs.
Divide that by 60 and we get how long in minute's it will take us.
35000 / 60 = 583.33333
Now divide that again by 60 to get it in hours.
583.33333 / 60 = 9.72222222
So about 9 hours 45minutes.
Now thats if you can upload at 100kb/s
Avarage UK user has an upload of 32kb/s
33 is one third of 100 so it would take the avarage 3 times longer than your 9 hours 45 minutes.
So lets do 9.72222222222 * 3 = 29.1666666666666666666
Just a little over 29 hours, 1 day and 5 hours to upload a 700mb 5 times, and let me remind you, this is only if you have the peers to upload to.
Also lets just have a look at the latest 10 releases on TorrentBytes and there file size's (Excluding Music):
Flightplan.TC.DVDR-ROYAL
Dragonball-Z.Disc-12.TB-Exclusive
ROH.071605.Fate.Of.An.Angel.VHSRiP-LionsDen
Ass.Fuck.1.XXX.DVDRip.XviD-Pr0nStarS
World.Series.of.Poker.2005.E23.E24-LionsDen
TAITO.LEGENDS-DEViANCE
Star.Wars.EP3-BONUS.DISC.2005.NTSC.DVDR-XPDVD
Will.And.Grace.S08E04.HDTV.XviD-TCM
The.Apprentice.S04E05.PDTV.XviD-TCM
Everybody.Hates.Chris.S01E05.HDTV.XviD-LOL
And the filesizes are as follows:
4.30GB
4.38GB
1.77GB
1.37GB
932.35MB
331.36MB
174.99MB
349.38MB
174.54MB
Add the file sizes up and you get 13780MB, and divide by 10 to get an avarage, that equals 1370MB, which is only 30mb of being double out 700mb file, meaning it would take double to upload the file 5 times.
29 hours doubled is 58 hours.
2 Days 10 hours, and again the chances of having a peer taking your full upload for the whole time is slim to none. Also 32kb/s is only theoretically your max, in pratice it's only about 29/30kb/s.
Now doing that for each file you want, seeding at full upload for nearly 2 and half days would mean you wouldn't be able to download in that time (Downloading cuts your upload by a lot)
I get roughly 3-5 releases each day (Not from BT though, thankfully)
3 releases a day at our avarage size and uploading each 5 times would mean 290 hours of uploading, per day.
Over 11 days worth of uploading on the national standard upload speed for the UK.
:01:
EDIT: The LOTR Extended Edition Trilogy seed on TB was if i remember correctly about 68GB large and 4 discs for each movie. Also it was the second most popular torrent ever on there, just slightly behind Doom 3.
We know this guy's chatting shit, why entertain him?
Still good that you stated all of the above though, but remember that there 1024 bits in 1MB so it would take even longer on his connection ;)
Pwned. :lol:
Nicely done Peerzy...
I don't understand the seeding part but using 4 different p2p programs and share all .
Not using bittorents but understand the need to let people finish D/L from me . :)
seeding to 500% is nearly impossible. I can honestly say, on private trackers I do as much as possible (usually 1.5) and public (depending on the number of users) .90. If theres a few seeders on the public tracker I'll seed alot more.

500% hahaha make me laugh
You would need like Internet 2 shit to see 500% if it was a big file. Smaller files I can understand. But seeding a file thats 68 gigs to 500%, thats some bull.
120%
500% is bullshit
i'm changing it to 150% now :snooty:
As long as i can.. usually its something 150%-200% sometimes 500%+..
On one torrent site I actually care about, I seed everything till there are no peers I can connect to left.
i wish i could seed 500% but my upload speed max's out at 50 kbps. Plus other faster seeders would have already uploaded to all the people who want what i have, so that leaves no one to leech from me
150-200%, i normaly download stuff of newsgroups anyway and seed them at torrentbytes. :P
Well I think 100% is good enough, you give what you take, but I usually seed longer :)
when i need to get caught up in my dl's i'll leech for about 50%. otherwise it's about 120%. anime i seed for anywhere between 100% - 300%.
i picked the 80% - 150% option.
edit* if there are no seeds or very few seeds i will seed 'til there are some.
Man as a newbie I would love to have a chance to seed!! I need to find a site that has the 200+ seeders and 10 - 20 leechers. All I have seen is the reverse.
I seem to only upload the amount that I download :( My ISP gives me crap for up speed.
wademalorgan
Crap, what kind of crap? The call and complain??
If I had a better internet connection, I'd love to do share 1000% of the time...so till then, 30-50%
Actually, I aimed to get 500+% ratio, it won't work on all torrents, but with a little micro-management, getting an overall 500% isn't unlikely though. it just depends what you dl, I can't dl like crazy because there's this download quota thing most ISPs of this country have.
If you do seed to 500% on private trackers then you cause a problem because you take away 4 peoples ability to reach a 1:1 ratio. People with larger conx who share more than 1:1 reduce the likelyhood of people with smaller conx being able to reach a 1:1 ratio. Seed what you get but seeding more doesn't make you a better person! This is not a competition is it about keeping the files alive and sharing, over sharing ruins that for others!
i usually seed approximately 300% if upload speed is high and it's not very big file
it's a nice thing to aim for 500%, but the world would be nicer if simply everebody would seed to 100%, that's enough to keep things going, as you may realise.
UK upload speeds suck, makes it difficult to get good ratios when you cant leave your puter on 24/7
theres always data lost, and failed hash checks, so if everyone did 100% exactly, the world would end (not quite)Quote:

I usually try to stay around 1:1, so that everyone else has a chance of getting a good ratio.. :)
I try hitting the 150% mark which In where I believe it is sharing a bit more but not over sharing...
My computer has been on for a week and this is what utorrent says:
Downloaded: 16.3GB Uploaded 43.7GB
not quite 500% but pretty good.
Everybody who says that they can't seed to whatever percentage is lying. The truth is you just don't want to.
@Peerzy
You say you get 3-5 releases a day, and that that's the reason you can't get a 500% ratio? If you wanted to get a 500% ratio you would download 1 release (I rounded up there to make the maths easier for you) and then you could seed a ratio around 300-500% better. It's not rocket science.
If people think that 1.5 is fair, then that's cool. I tend to keep mine 1.5 to 2.0 as much as I can, I think unless you are uploading new stuff to a tracker there's no reason to have a ratio of 5. Don't say you can't seed to 5, if you wanted to you could upload your own stuff and actually contribute to the community rather than recycling what's already there, it's easy.
Having said that, everybody can't seed to 500%, well done Seedler for being so amazing and better than all of us, but if you think about it, ridiculous ratios like that would be impossible for everybody to maintain. Unless there are people downloading, and thus hurting their ratios, then there's nobody to bump your ratio up. In an ideal world, everybody would keep something like a 1:1 ratio and be happy about it.
