What am I to do?
Ambrae:
I downloaded a pretty big series right off the bat, and it's pretty old and apparently not very popular... so I got a nice 0% ratio. ^^'
I've been slowly working to get the ratio back up.
This is what I did :
-downloaded lots of little bonus torrents (you can set them by size).
-downloaded every freeleach + bonus torrent I could find.
I downloaded a fair bit more... and after 3 days, I have:
4gig uploaded and almost 300 bonus points.
And as a bonus, tons of random, different stuff to discover ^^
Anyway, I don't have access to recent torrent since I just arrived, but I imagine it's easier when you do.
I have a question though, when does one get warned?
And was is the consequence? (Limited downloads or no downloads at all?)
Chiyachan:
When warned, you can only seed.
And you get warned when the system decides to. You don't know and nor do staff. =P
Just keep ratio 1+ and you're fine.

Not 1+. Around 0.4+. Though 0.5+ will definitely keep you safe. And temuthril, what's the most common speed in Finland?

From what I've seen, 0.1 seems to be about right for the cutoff. But that's not the point. 1.0+ is encouraged, because that way you know you're keeping stuff alive. If everyone only seeded back half of what they downloaded, eventually all the torrents are gonna die off.
0.5 is clearly fine as that is the point to reach for power user status. It used to be 1.0.

Im sure everyone won't seed back only half. There are always people who seed a lot and seedboxes too. 0.5 is the requirement. People usually do higher if they CAN. But if they have low bandwith they stick to 0.5+. If they have a good speed they try to go to the top 10. And i saw the announcement about the ratio requirement change. It was because people seeded more and leeched less.
