This is a rather pointless topic as it's easy to seed 150% or higher if you have the bandwidth to support it and enough people to leech it. If you seed 1 to 1 then your good in my book. The thing that really gets to me is if you have someone with a with a 2,3,4,500KB/s UL bandwidth and they go out and seed 800% while leaving everyone else to settle at 50%.
I may not seed every file to 500% (depends on how many leechers there are), but I leave my seeds up for a long time. I usally have 3-4:1 ratio at the sites I frequent...
I'm seeding only 100-200% because my connection speed is shitty only 256kbps :(
I allways seed at least 4-5 ratio and at least one week :)
Its hard to say. I always look what torrent has so many leechers then start seeding that.
for every member to seed to 150% (means a ration of 1.5) u will need a new mathematics
the current one does not support a ration bigger than 1.0 (actually (1- 1/n-1)where n is the number of times the file was snatcheda and also assuming all people have the same ratio (except the uploader which should be one)
for 100 snatches on a torrent, this is approximately 0.99 which mean 99% for all members
anyone know how to prove the equation above? :)
yes :D
Its not too hard to believe at all. I copy the files that I download to a separate directory and then leave the original files that were downloading seeding. Granted I only download on one bt site, so I dont worry about getting rid of the files afterwards unless they become unregistered with the tracker. I have some files that are seeded to 800%
lol i normally seed for about 1 month after ive downloaded the file so whatever normally around 300% i only got 70kb upload speed lol.
though i have a low bandwidth , i seed the torrents until i remove the files frm my hard disk after backup only (appr. 150%) :-)
No, I'm not a leecher. I usually have 4-5 ratio...
much over 150% and your being greedy, i.e. hindering other users chances of sharing...
Seeding 500% is not hard to believe i have a seedbox and i seed to 2000-5000% on my downloads p
Seeding 500% is not hard to believe i have a seedbox and i seed to 2000-5000% on my downloads.. but ppl with out should only have to seed to 200%
Wile seeding to 500% would be nice,its just not practicle or possible for many people with regular dsl lines. I try to seed to 1.5-2.0. Also if everyone with a superfast connections seeded to 500% or more it would be even harder to others to seed well in my opinion.
i seed alot
ATM i got DONW:4.606TB||UP:7.555TB||Ratio:1.640 since the last windows setup.
There will always be leechers so seeding above 1:1 is possible but the concept of bit torrent was created so that no one person has to upload insane quantities. For all the people in this thread saying everyone should seed at least 150-200% should go back to high school math class - it is impossible. The reality is a lot these people bragging probably haven't gotten to high school yet so there is still hope.
I usually seed a little bit over 100%...
I would gladly seed 500% but my bandwidth ain't so great and i need HDD space
Hehe I seed upto 1 week my comp is on 16 hrs a day hehe
500% wowo than your upload speed has to be Superman...........
Not possible on DSL with limited upload speed
i think 250% enough.
however, if seeders drops below 5 i can seed until the torrent totaly not in use (wasn't downloaded for a long time, about month or two)
I'm not a leecher. I try to keep torrents seeding as long as possible.:)
150%-200%
My seeding is all over the map, it all depends on the torrent and the tracker. But I always like my ratio around 2.
I usually always seed around 250%. If it's a hot torrent, I'll leave it on longer because my seedbox is on a fast connection, so it'll help get the swarm done faster. I try not to overseed, though. I try to let others seed back to reasonable ratios too.
On ftn there are torrents which are more than 100gb, even some around 150gb n many people jump on them...i personally can seed torrents of this size to a maximum of 100%.Quote:

SEED IT TIL IT DIES
edit: anyone remember a certain member of TB getting banned for overseeding when it first opened? lol I do ...
Do I look like a leecher? :D
Of course not :yup:
I always seed back to a ratio over 1...
Sometimes even more but never over 5...
I want to give the downloaders a chance to keep a good ratio ;)
im seeding 24hours/7days,when i would,our electricity is rich,everyday cca 20GB
I seed around 150-200 percent, with 1Mb upload, and mutilple tracker accounts(7days 24 H),
it's quite difficult,
I guess, only people with high speed connection (100 Mb) can share 500 percent or more
150-300 %
well im always seed at least 2:1 and think that this is fair,bucause if you seed to much other people can seed back what they downloaded..
Always seed 1:1 or more as long as there are seeders. Leeching comes to picture if therey are seeders.
120-160%
I always seed 1:1+. After all, it is called File Sharing ;)
usually 150%, but longer depends on the leechers and type of torrent. If the torrent only has few seeders, I leave it on longer, but if the torrent has loads of seeders I usually drop out and give others a chance to reach 1:1 ratio.
i said 150%-200% but my ratio its normally 3.*
Sorry!
lol my 1st post, but I love it when people whinge about how you should always seed to 200% or more.
Remember kids, when seeding to 200% you are forcing someone else to have a ratio of 50%, its all relative in the world of ratios. If there is no reason for you to seed, then stop seeding, let other people get there ratios back up.
I seed it to 150%
50-80 %
