Ratio warning
« on: June 15, 2010, 12:23:31 PM »
Hi, I'm a new member in this community, so I want to ask:

I got a warning about my seeding ratio, then I seeding some of finished torrent but there is 0 leecher, so how do I raise my seeding ratio?

I currently seeding this:
*[Nipponsei] G.A. Geijutsuka Art Design Class - music palette
*[Nipponsei] Lucky Star OST Collection
*Utawarerumono Soundtrack Collection

Sorry bad grammar  ;D
Busy this year with my final project etc..

Seed something other than OST collections, 1080p torrents are good.

This question has been asked like 048596 times before so there's more useful answers in other threads.

CRC values are not connected to filenames, but to the actual content of a file, sort to speak.
Check AniDB to see what CRC value is listed there for the episodes in question, usually a good indicator.

Edit: oh, wait, we're talking about music files here, scratch AniDB... ;)

Renaming a file doesn't affect the CRC.

Hope can get to 0.3 (my ISP up speed only around 20kB/s  :'( but I will try seeding from some of my collection)

The file is complete, it's just not displaying as one because of how bittorrent works. You'll understand it eventually.

It's recommended you keep your ratio 1.0 or higher. It's generally good practice to keep it at least above 0.5. It's also good practice to ease on downloading if you can't seed back quickly.

That's a really crappy up speed... no other ISP offers a higher up speed in your region?

Because of that I cant seed the file fully  :'( (must DownLoad the missing piece and I can't DL at the moment)

There is, but the price is around 3x, and the speed not very different

Eh. That sucks. What country are you in? Haven't heard of one with such bad speeds. Then again, the cheapest package my country offers has an up speed probably close to yours, more or less, but that's for people whose major Internet use is checking email.

Anyway, from the looks of your tracker profile, you've figured out how to reseed torrents. I would just let it go for a few days, perhaps add a few more torrents to the list. The more torrents you have, the more you can seed all-round, no matter how high the seeder:leecher ratio is, unless every torrent is completely dead.

Good luck.

You don't need the entire file in order to upload data, which is what counts. Even if you only had 50% of the file you could raise your ratio by uploading the 50% you have to others. Just keep your torrent client on and the file active.

But the tracker would see it as downloading, which is (as far as I know) blocked when warned.
