I always have at least a 2:1 ul/dl ratio, but normally its around 6:1, I like seeding :)
Probably close to 80%
I try to stay close to 100%
On one tracker I'm on they don't want you to have higher than a .8 ratio....
I usually seed around 200%, on some private trackers though it isn’t unusal that I try to seed between 300-400%.
Well I aim for 150 - 200 %, if there is real demmand and they is only a few seeds I will stay as long as it takes
.
really don't know, seeding 24/7, sometimes 50%..or 500%

I usually seed thing to a 1.5/2.0 ratio if possible. I just let the torrents run for a few days...
lets be serious... if it was a perfect world and all the stuff i downloaded was wanted for as long as it took to make a great ratio... then i would be worrying about other things besides my ratios lol
SEEDING RULES!! i like to give other people the experience of my download speed, so i seed more than one ratio!! :D
1 release a day at 1.4Gb would still take me 58 hours of uploading per day. To reach 500%. Either way i don't use BT anymore and havn't for ages. Check when i made my post, it was months ago.Quote:

As previously stated, upload speeds against download speeds are hugely prehibitive - as is numbers of downloaders on private trackers...
No I Dont I`m A Seeder
i usuly seed until people want it, when i see there is no more connections i just delete it... :unsure:
I hate to say it, but I am a leecher.... I just don't have enough upload to download everything I want at a positive ratio.
i am a pure leech, on usenet that is
fucking sue me, assholes
I'll seed as long as the torrent is active on private sites! on public ones i'll seed about 150-200% give and take! thats what torrents are all about! iamagine if everybody did this d/l speeds would fly!
download less then?Quote:

theres no reason why EVERYONE cant stick to 1.0 (1.05 preferably)
Much as I'd love to seed for eternity, my bandwidth can't handle it.. hehehe
its impossible for everyone to have a ratio of over 1.0 ! coz there would not be enough downloads for everyone to have a ratio of 1.1 ! i would mean more uploads than downloads overall and u can only upload if some else is downloading, for that reason i usualy aim for about a 1.0 ratio
yes its impossible for everyone to have 1.0
especially with the retards on private trackers who have 10.0+ ratios
it stops the rest of us uploading what we need to to maintain our own ratios.
saying that, i still think leechers/hit and runners even it out somewhat. more so on public trackers.
so if u try hard enough, i really see no reason why 1.05 is not achieveable by all :)
i hit and run:naughty: its not like i know any of the people on bittorrent. Its a waste of my time to seed. I have a life.
if everyone did that, u wouldnt be able to download.
yea, cos u need to sit and watch for hours while it seeds?Quote:

i have a life too, and also dont know who im seeding to. but it doesnt waste any of my time to do so.
I only seed about 10-50%, but if I can I will more usually. My mom always logs me off the computer so I cant really seed more than that.. :[ I try to keep at least a 0.5 ratio... I wish I could be those guys that seed over 100%. Sometimes I do. But I wish I could all the time.
On public trackers I try to seed back to at least a 1:1 ratio or 1.5, do something good for everyone in general.
I almost always seed more than 500% on torrents that are less than 6gb, if they are bigger than that i at least seed to 150%.
On average I get to 120%, but it depends a lot. Some files just dont get past 30% while others go easily to 500%. Small files (less than 1m mb) i've managed to get to 1200%
Extreme situations? try getting 500% on anything at oink. there's currently 70,982 users encountering that 'extreme situation', which I believe is a few more than 'no one'.Quote:

i always try to be a seeder as much as i can... once i finish downloading a file i seed it for at least 3 days.... :D
eh, public trackers I usually go until about 75% (0.75), private trackers I usually go until about 200% (2.0)
Thankfully I have 1MB ADSL in my room so the PC is always on. On public trackers I seed to about 80% and on private trackers I wait untill there are no leechers yet or until its above 100%.
on UK-T a have PU and on TL
on FL (ratio 5) I only upload:)
..
I try to give back as much as possible. My ISP recently put a cap on my monthly bandwidth of 100GB, but that just means I need to be more selective with my downloads.
By the time I've finished leeching there are very few people who want the files.Quote:

Isn't anyone that downloads a torrent a leacher :)
LOL :lol:Quote:
