"Warning" Question

<< < (3/5) > >>

blubart:
the chances are good that with 40KB upload speed you will take a week anyway to get your ratio up - so a one week warning wouldn't really be an issue. additionally the extra time you spend uploading gives you a slight buffer so you won't get warned again after downloading the next torrent ;)
you can never really predict when the auto-warn kicks in and it's not really delayable. even if a mod decides to lift the warning a few minutes later the auto-warn will just redo it.
in case you should get a warning and you don't quite make it in the span of a week, but your ratio increased considerably the reevaluation time is/can be lowered.

i don't quite get what you goal in posting this is, you are not warned yet, so you can increase your ratio to not get a warning at all. delaying your warning wouldn't yield you any benefit because you couldn't download new stuff anyway (without digging yourself further in the hole you want to get out) and even with a warning the site is 100% usable (except for the downloading part of course :P) and you can continue seeding.

if you can't find the exact files on bakabt (as it would be for titles on the blacklist) it is impossible to seed here.
if you can find the files here you just have to download the .torrent here from bakabt while logged in and point it to your already downloaded files. they will recheck and should start seeding afterwards.

That's what I wanted to know too :P I will be seeding as much as possible (PC shared with rest of the household as well as the connection) I simply wouldn't like to be cut out completely of ability to download even a single episode of something.

To be honest my post was useless :S

I will go look for introduction section or such thanks :p

As far as I can tell, your other questions are covered in the Wiki as well. If your ratio worries you and you don't have enough upload speed to get your ratio out of the dumps, you have a few options:

1) Get an internet connection plan with better upload bandwidth
2) Get a seedbox
3) Throttle your download

Kowal:
I will have to limit my download greatly. I am running out of hard drive space anyway. I have been on the seedbox page but I have no idea what that is even after reading everything on here :S

Anyway when I buy new external hard drive, I should have the money for donation as well so in the future I think I will be paying from time to time :S

Unless this seedbox turns out to be really good thing :P

Just send PFCorner a mail. He'll walk you through it.

You choose one torrent (or several) and he'll make sure to seed it for at least 10x it's size fast, after which the speed is pulled down a notch until it reaches 20x torrent size. Most of my torrents that are placed under PFCorner's care have already reached more than 50x torrent size. To sponsor a torrent uploaded by PFCorner, you pay 1 euro/Gb. So depending on what you want, it may be interesting, or it may not be. Since July, €15,- has brought my around 1500 Gb uploaded on my account. More than I'll ever download from here in the foreseeable future, which means I'm happy.

There are other ways to get your ratio up as well. Attentively read the Wiki and previous forum entries.
