Ratio way too high to be correct.

(1/1)

Toplin:
I couldn't find an answer to this in the wiki or anywhere in the forums. So if there is already something touching on this, if you could just direct me there, that would be great :)

I've been seeding Serial Experiments Lain (along with a few others) in order to recover from my HORRIBLE overall ratio that I had.
And while I was doing this after a few days I noticed that the ratio on the SEL torrent was scary high compared to what it said was actually uploaded.



This is what it looks like. Now on BakaBT it only shows it as 200+ something, but that's still off right? I'm only asking because I don't want people to think I'm stat hacking or anything like that (which I have NO idea how to do anyway).

Any answers would be helpful :)

Freedom Kira:
Ratio depends on how much you actually downloaded, not necessarily the file size.

So, there can be one of a few possibilities...

1. You are reseeding something you have downloaded already (whether or not you used the same torrent file), where your downloaded data had a few corruptions and so uTorrent redownloaded the corrupt data. This seems to be the case, as according to your ratio, you have downloaded about 200KB.

2. You are seeding something you only partially downloaded. Looking at the numbers, this doesn't seem possible, as you would have to have downloaded only about 200KB as previously noted, and yet you are seeding back at 25kBps to at most 3 leechers, and have already seeded 298MB.

3. Something not listed here.

Otherwise there may be something amiss, though point 1 is your most likely situation given the numbers.

Also, you won't get pwned for stat-hacking with a high ratio. You get pwned for abnormally, impossibly, or ridiculously high upload stats. Which, of course, causes an abnormally high ratio, but it's not what is looked at.

Edit: looking at your stats, point 1 indeed appears to be the case.

Also, take note of the recent announcement that will clear up any confusion about discrepancies.

Xiong Chiamiov:
You only have 261 kB downloaded, which is likely due to what Freedom Kira pointed out above.

Toplin:
Ah! I see now. It was as you suggested in the first option. I had already downloaded it before, but when I re-checked the torrent it downloaded a little bit to get from 99 to 100% that must be why the ratio is so weird. I didn't think to see how much utorrent said I actually downloaded.

I'm really appreciative for the replies. Thanks a lot! It certainly set my mind at ease. :)
