Are you a leecher?

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.

DSL 768k? i take it thats your download speed.

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.




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

[Rip The Jacker]

Pwned.

Nicely done Peerzy...

[peat moss]

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 .

[maebach]

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.

Yeah i rounded a few numbers such as the 1024 kb to 1MB and i rounded the 96kb/s upload up to 100kb/s just to make the maths easier for him.

[dNMe]

500% hahaha make me laugh

[kazaaman]

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.

[GepperRankins]

120%


500% is bullshit

[GepperRankins]

i'm changing it to 150% now
