Yeah, because you actually benefit from seeding on private trackers.

I always seed to 500% if not more.

It's almost impossible to seed bigger files to 500% on most private trackers. Usually there are 200+ seeders and 10-20 leechers, "There simply aren't enough people who want what you've got."

Seeding to 500%? I find that hard to believe...

i have got the same problem
also, my low disk space is always a problem and sometimes i have to cap the downloads to get the free space.

Just keep your torrents running long enough... on even the smallest and largest private trackers, you'll reach Ratio 4-5

1st of all it's hard to say how much you seed cause it depends on the time when you get the torrent. if you get an old torrent with 4 seeds that was completed 214 times i am sure you will not seed it until 1:1 cause this might take ages ...
i had 16.0 seed ratio at some torrents cause i was the 1st or 2nd downloader...
regarding oufy's "i seed 50 g in the month" ... what's your point. if you seed 50G and download 100G then you have an average 0.5 ratio. i seeded 50G in some days but sometimes it was a 1:1 ratio/day... sometimes even lower.

It all depends on what you download. I don't download major releases, I like the straight to video garbage, so while everyone else is getting 500% on the hottest ticket at the box office, I download a crappy action movie at 700mb and upload 49.6mb and the upload usually stops within a few hours of finishing the download. When I download an episode of my favourite tv show at 350mb, no matter what the season, I can upload 5gb if I leave the client running, and usually do until I want the bandwidth for something else.

For me ratio doesn't matter, my client statistics say I have only upped 50% of my downloads, but for me its all a matter of what people want, not because I don't seed what I leech. I can't help the fact that apparently only me and the original uploader are the only people who like godawful straight to dvd dreck!
