i always seed to a 1.2 ratio,i have 10meg down and 512 upload
when I had a seederbox I would always seed to obscene ratios... but now that I'm limited to my home line I can't do that, but I try to seed all I can and never under 1.0
i seed about 150 per torrent
hey as me from IndiA at least affordable and unlimited connection is 256kbps, ao i am on formula of 1:1 ratio , i do seed more also depending upon torrent and leechers, as i would have had no problem if i was on higher speed.
strict minimum is 1:1
Most will be 110 ~125% on private trackers
Up to 500% where possible on private trackers.
(40 KB/s up/down :cry: :angry: )
I seed until there are no more leechers, so it ranges mostly for me.

I voted what my average-ratio usually ends up being 200-300% ... I'll knock up the ratio on any particular download up to 500+ when I can... helps my ratio, helps everybody.
I seed on a separate comp... I don't have it on 100% of the time though... probably cause I'm not constantly getting new stuff either... depending on the tracker, however, I do dl/ul quite alot.
well usually 1.2:1
I always seed to 2.0 or more and have seeded a torrent till 5.0 I will always seed.
i seed usually till theres a good amount of seeds or if there loads of seeds on it usually to 200%
my upload speed is atrocious. I get 6 megs down, 0.4 megs up. I still manage a ratio over 1.0 though. :D
I'm no leech. But the ratios differ. it depends of the site. In Oink it's really hard to get the ratio to 5.0 but it's easy to get it over 5.0 on Filelist or Filemp3.
I hope Seedler isn't just trying to impress us saying his seeds 500%. I mean this is impossible if he is talking about a private tracker as Rip the Jacker stated. I personally seed 150% most of the time and even that's a struggle these days.
For evry person that seeds over 100% there has to be someone that seeds less than 100%. So in a way for maniac seeders leechers are needed to keep these people and their egomaniacal obsession with ratio happy.
I seed everything to 50% and then I see what torrent is in the most need of help. Then I seed those for a while.
I would like to see somebody sharing all his downloaded files, that would be something new on torrents. Torrents are made for leechers, some few people release stuff but all other people are only seeding last stuff they downloaded. But i don't understand what is the point in leeching on torrents since stuff on torrents you find anywhere else if you can't get it from torrents, its popular as shit since torrents are for randomly new stuff only.
frankly, its not as easy not to become a leecher.. seeding 150% is really tough most of the time.. not to say about public server,where most people just hit and run (that's why its easy to seed above 150%)..but for the case of private server, everyone just wants to have a share of the seed.. and it will take me like days to hit 150% especially for older torrents.. and frankly, i don't see the point of wasting my computer memory jus to seed a torrent where there is already 10 seeds and 1 leecher.. despite my upload capacity of at least 50 kb/s, no one seems to be downloading form me most of the time..
wad i would do is, i would not set ani restriction on my upload speed. thus, if i happen to be downloading a new torrent, my ratio would usually be 1:1.. and depending on the suitation, i would sometimes seed for another like 7 hours while i am in school.
i am not too sure if location/distance from the tracker do plays a part.. i am base in south east asia and no one really seems to be interested in my upload.. i find it hard to maintain my share ratio even thou i am seeding..
Yeah i totally agree with that.Quote:

Have I missed a meeting here?
Surely there is only a finite number of people who use BitTorrent, and even within that finite number there must be a smaller number of people who want a particular torrent?
Every time one user completes a download and begins to seed it, that means there's one person less who wants to download the file, doesn't it? And the size of the group of seeds from whom this now smaller group of downloaders can get the file has grown by another one.
So each seeder gets to give a little bit less bandwidth (i.e. increase their ratio by a smaller amount) every tie a download completes. The law of diminishing returns, I think!
So if you're the last dude to download a file, how do you seed it to 500% if no other little blighter wants it? Do you have an extra special double-secret client which forces people to download the torrents you're seeding against their will? Or do you have some other means of persuading people to get data that they don't want from you?
my ratio is between 1.0 and 1.05
My ratio's usually around 3.00, this is mainly because i only get popoular tv shows like prison break, lost and smallville, that way you know people want them to because their so popular so its kinda easy. Most time i just leave my computer on seeding till ratios around 3.00
on public trackers at least 1:1
on private trackers i leave my torrents open all the time
I Stick To The Basics 1:1
Most time I let them open until i have seeded it atleast 1:1 back. Sometimes when I need better ratio I upload longer, so no problem for me I think ;-)Quote:

since i'm out of the house most of the day, i leave it running all the time, whether its public or private... usually average 250 kb/sec.... so my ratios are pretty good
Fifty-fifty :/
WTF MANQuote:

I want but I can't...my upload speed is capped.
That depends on the S/L ratio of the torrent. If I see there are enough seeds to make the torrent go round I move on. I usually can't seed properly in a well-seeded swarm anyway. But I try to maintain a 0.8:1 if not a 1:1 ratio.
i been seeding prision break s1 for bout 3 months now upped over 100gig
In the past I would be considered a leecher, because of my crappy connection, and that I couldn't leave my PC seeding 24h/day, but I just upgraded my connection and bringed my total ratio back to 1-1 :D
I like being a good seeder and helping the torrent scene, and I believe it's what everyone must do...
i seed what i take.if my up speed is going well then i'll leave it upping
i can only upload 3gb per 72 hours bcuz of my isp.. so i try to stick to that limit. if it results in a 50% ratio, oh well -- nothing i can do
100% fair enought
Yeah , 100% is fair .
Someone have a fasct connect can contribute more
why the hell is this thread so old yet a new poll... makes no sense.
I used to seed until there are downloaders.
If my upload speed is 0 for a long time, I delete the torrent from the list.
