I seed normally to 150-200% but sometimes till 300%
Depends how is my ratio on that site ;)

I just leave them there, some go up to over 1000% others less.
I don't pay for uploads why should it matter, the more people sharing, the faster the d/l's go.
When I want the bandwidth I shut down azureus.
i always seed over 1:1
I'm so n0ob to this D/L stuff that [a] I don't have a clue from leeching & [b] haven't even been able to get on BitTorrent
. This may be in part due to my negligable attempts at same in the last few weeks. Cheers!
Typical I seed 100-150%, but sometimes upload increase to 200-300% (for example: i forget about seeding ang go to sleep :)
Sure whenever it is possible...I'm a leecher.
I may fool around with the new trackers,but always keep a ratio of 1+ on established trackers.

I only ever leech from private trackers so seeding to at least 1:1 is of course the very minimum I will aim for. Obviously with private sites it is not always possible to seed to 1:1 depending on leechers, how soon you jump on a torrent and how popular it is.
Seeding is the basic principle involved in p2p. if nobody seeded, nobody would get anything.
Why mess about with public sites like torrentspy and get 30kbs downloads when I can max out my connection at over 800kbs & get the latest releases hours/days before they hit the public trackers. I will still seed just the same wherever I get it from. :)
i usually seed between 110 - 150%.
if there are much more leechers (i.e. a new torrent), than i seed (much) more.
the average global ratio on my torrent sites (accounts) is 1.4
Well, if I download from a private tracker I seed back about to 100% except if it's a huge file. If I download from a public tracker I seed back about 20%-30%. That's because I have a 384/128 connection and my biggest upload speed without making my connection lagging is about 8-9kb/s...
I seed to at least 100%, usualy over 150%...
I hate those that :boxing: & :dog: !
totally agree.... overseeding to excess is equally as bad for bittorrent as leeching.Quote:

I seed 100% or a little over. So I seed what I download. And I don't think this makes me a leecher and I'm not ashamed of myself.
i try to seed as much as i can since the torrent life is very important.
there are some times that i seed more than five times the lenght of the torrent itself, some time less (150%), depends on many factors.
cheers ;)
When you say % do you mean like 1:1 would be 100 %? If so then I guess I seed between 200-600% That sems high. Right now my lowest is 1.568 and my highest is 6.725. I had two at 11.something that I just deleted. Is that what you mean, or am I just daft, lol?
I do not have very fast upload speeds, but because I leave torrents open for seeding for usually a few months, I guess I can get higher ratios. Like somebody mentioned earlier, if there's like 200+ seeders and 6 leechers it's impossible to seed. But if you leave it in a month or two nobody will be seeding.
All right my turn to wiegh in...
I seed between 1% and 500% depending on the torrents seeder leecher ratio (I voted 80-150). for me it makes no difference I just leave the torrent in there for weeks. As I only use private sites I either seed my arse off or upload my own files so I can keep a ratio of about 1.5 that way I can just download whatever I want and don't have to stress about being banned :happy:
I just read this whole thread and it's a fucking good laugh :lol:
about 40%
I have a few questions regarding seeding.
Firstly, when I first started downloading torrents I used to keep the upload bar all the way to the right, an act which got me in trouble with the cable company because apparently I have an upload limit. Now I have to keep it at
10kbs/s at most. Also, I used to seed a finished torrent until it stops seeding itself. Sometimes that was at 10 percent, sometimes 200 percent. Now I don't, so I guess that I am a LEECHER.
My questions are..
1) When you seed something, must it stay at the top, or can it be removed after seeding is complete? If it must stay up, how long is usually acceptable to keep it?
2) Does a high seed ratio affect uploading in any way?
1) I'm assuming by on top you mean in the 1st position in your client? no as long as the torrent is loaded and it says seeding then there is no problem.Quote:

And you can leave it as long as you want dude...just depends on your ethics and which tracker your using. If you use Private trackers then until you have given back as much as you took (at least) if not then that's realy up to you.
2) yes it does. If you have lots of seed and very few leachers then there isn't much chance of giving back 100% of what you downloaded. But having a high number of seeders won't effect it in itself. For example at the moment I'm seeding a movie and it has about 600 seeders and 50 leachers and I'm uploading fine. when I started there was about 1200 seeders and 400 leachers and that wasn't a prob either. the only thing a high number of seeders will do is increase your download speed...
or your chances of getting busted :lol:
I usually seed 150-200%
I seed to 105% usually so I can slightly increase my ratio while not hindering others ability to do so (mostly because that is what I have to do on closed trackers)
i seed as much as i can ,the higher the better :-P.as long as its over 1.100, if for some reason i cant get it on a certian torrent i'll make up for it on others ,that is if the torrent is from the same site , i dont use public
500+ really
300%-400%
I tend to forget the client on very often :lol:
I saw something in the web saying that the ideal would be between 80% and 100%, so everybody can seed.
The ideal would be 100% uploaded back, but yes, you are right. People with good connections should stop seeding after they get over 100% to let others build back their ratios.
I leave 'em open after i download for a couple of weeks normally... sometimes they upload, sometimes they dont.
As they're available, I dont consider myself a leecher, even if a particular file uploads nothing.
I'm only a member of a very small tracker though, so there aren't really that many people that may want a particular file.
The other thing is, they all go into a common shared folder with my other p2p programs, so although the BT may not upload... they may get uploaded on k-lite etc.
The stats wouldnt show that.
I have been good seeder with very good ratio on a Tracker that suddently closed whitout notice.
Now I just keep my ration over 1.1.
that's right, but the others won't get such great download-speed if everybody stops seeding at 100%, and that's what many people like about anti-leech-trackers.Quote:

I'm trying to push the 150% limit, but it's not so easy with an ADSL 512/128kb upload
I am going out of a leecher.. try to increasing my ratio....:D
I seed way more than I leech!
If you seed that much, then you're not letting other users keep a good ratio
I've got to be honest, using torrents I find it hard to maintain a 1-1 ratio, because there's always another killer download the next day to knock your 0.99 ratio you've just spent 24 hrs improving back to 0.91 or something - I've been playing this game now for months, really annoying :/
Doesn't help when most residential broadband connections are asynchronous though, when I was on NTL 10mbit cable server my download was 20x faster than my upload. Least on my current connection its only 4x faster...
I find most users with slower broadband connections usually get stuff from another site/place and seed it on their favourite tracker to build up a nice ratio. Case in point ScT, where majority of the time only people with 100mbit connections leech.
always above 100%(if it is possible)
Same here. I think I average at 1.25.Quote:
