Wuh-oh. I'm about to land myself in a hole here.
« on: November 25, 2010, 03:52:28 PM »
Okay, I did read the Wiki, and people are going to tell me I lied or something, but oh well.  I probably missed it.
Okay, downloading a few things, yes.
Due to my very very very slow internet, i think I might have a chance to.. well.. not kill myself here.

Here's the deal:  I have inactive downloads.  Could I just simply delete/pause these downloads so they don't add to my ratio right now?

They are at 0% so I guess they haven't register with bakaBT.
Can I avoid getting my ratio worse?

Preventative medicine perhaps?
I'm not sure why OP is nervous but the answer is yes. If later on you're worried about your ratio and you have multiple torrents downloading, you can pause or stop an in-transfer torrent and it will not continue to increase your ratio until you resume downloading it.

I believe this is what you were wondering about (not sure though).

paranoia.

Also, 8MB of direct downloading takes me almost twenty minutes.   x.x

the proper medication would be a placebo in that case, no?

ok, here it goes:
i personally have set your account up so every torrent that is listed in your inactive category doesn't make your ratio any worse. consider it a personal favor. ;)

Have fun on BakaBT!


for real:
there is no problem with stuff idling around in your inactive tab - only data you actually download (with your torrent client) is counted towards your ratio. and before you've downloaded ~25gb we won't warn you even if your ratio is terrible.

If it takes you that long to download you have a long time before your ratio becomes an issue. ^_^

yes but if you dig yourself a 25gb hole with no ratio you're going to have a hard time getting out of it.
Try to make sure your torrents each get 1:1 before moving on to the next one/batch and you'll be fine

I really did cry. It made me so happy I had to laugh so hard that I had to cry.

Sometimes you have to fight paranoia with anti-paranoia. That's all I'll say.
