Uploading problem..
« on: September 18, 2009, 10:36:13 AM »
Hello everyone!
Guys, I'm new here and I got some problems:
I leave torrents on seeding but rarely upload them.
I mean I downloaded 1 GB content but only uploaded 100 MB.
This might be because of these:
Too many seeders and noone needs me.
Is there a rule that if someone downloads %80 of torrent then he/she not becomes the prior seeder?
Guys I'm not new on torrent but I thought it will be better if I ask you since I'm new here.
Thanks.

Your upload speed always tends to be slower than your download does anyway. And a lot of the torrents here have a hell of a lot more seeders than leechers. Just leave the files in your torrent client for a while, you'll pick up leechers now and then on lesser leeched files.

And thats not too bad an upload for one night. Sometimes I can go ages without uploading anything at all. :(

Just stick at it ;)

I upload files with ratio of %120. So it continues days if it's not done. But as you said at here torrents have many seeders. I'm worry if I get a warning. I'm not a complete leecher. I want to share as others since I have around 1.2 Megabit upload speed. :D not much but fine I guess.
Anyway thanks..

As long as you keep seeding you'll be fine. And a warning just means you can't download for a while. It'll be a'okay :)

read the Wiki

yes, you'll be warned if your ratio continues to be too low... read the Wiki to find out what that means.

The fact that you are concerned about your ratio now means that you'll be ok.  The ones who have trouble are those who download 50 gigs the first day - that's a hole much harder to dig yourself out of than the 1 gig you've downloaded.

Be especially careful now, and wait until you've gotten a bit more of a ratio buffer before downloading too much more.  You can also obtain files through other means and seed them on here to help get started a little more quickly.
