slow seeding issue with bittorrent 7.7

[crunchy128]

i was having motherbored issues so i bought a new computer and im running bittorrent 7.7. i know nothing is wrong with my internet connection because at one point i was downloading a file at 3mb/s. ive never had any issues with uploading in the past. it was very common for me to reach at least a 1.0 ratio in just a day or two. now its over a month for most of my torrents still havent reached a 1.0. so im wondering if anyone has heard of this before and knows whats going on.

 i will also accept the possibility of nothing is wrong and simply no one wants to download these files.

i dont know much about how bittorrent works but maybe i screwed up one of the settings.

bandwidth:
max upload rate- unlimited
max global connections 999
max number of connected peers- 99
max number of upload slots- 99
use additional slots if upload <90%- checked

queing:
max active torrents- 99
max downloads- 99
min ratio- 99
min seeding time- 0
max available seeds- 0
seeding tasks > downloading- checked
side note- i have no idea why it bothers with minimum. the current value will always be the lowest and cant get any lower. why doesnt it ask for maximum, so when it reaches the max, it will stop? anyone think they could explain it in a way that i can understand?

Seed more torrents.

Minimum seeding time refers to the least amount of time BitTorrent must spend seeding a completed torrent before it is allowed to stop it.

Minimum ratio, likewise, refers to the smallest ratio BitTorrent must get on a torrent before it is allowed to stop it.

They might not mean much alone, but together it makes more sense. If you only set one of the two settings, BitTorrent will always stop a torrent when it hits the given criterion. However, if you set both, BitTorrent must meet both criteria before stopping a torrent.

Anyway, there is nothing wrong that I can see, except that you probably want to set a max upload rate to about 80% of your connection's max upload speed, or you will start seeing lots of network lag when you start saturating it. So yes, the possibility that you stated is entirely true, and the simple solution has been posted already. It's normal for torrents to take several months, even over a year, to reach a 1:1 ratio.

TBH, it's quite rare. Usually it takes no more than a month if you have a decent connection.

If you have a decent connection. I was recently forced to throttle to a ridiculous level, and am now seeding at a max of about 30KBps. I hope I can un-throttle in the future.

In any case, I think that not-so-decent connections are a lot more common around here. At least, I would think that given the number of users complaining about slow seeding.

You're seing the comments of singular users out of a base of tens of thousands of users; I have not counted, but I'd be surprised if there are thousands of users posting in the fora about seeding problems.

[Freedom Kira]

There are also plenty of people making do with what they have and don't complain. =/

Can't really get an accurate statistic, I don't think, unless we can somehow grab an average seeding speed, which in itself is not very reliable either.

  I been having problem seeding to BakaBT since they changed from box torrents. I am just starting to get into downloading anime again. I am using Bittorrent 7.7 also and it never uploads. I don't have this problem with other trackers, Just baka. Any suggestion? I actual just got warning because of this. I checked the wiki and everything set up correctly according to that.

[Freedom Kira]

If you've been seeding since the BoxTorrents change, chances are you're no longer pointing at the right tracker. The BoxTorrents tracker got moved to BakaBT when the site's domain changed.

You really just noticed this now? It's a little weird that you would have gotten warned as a result of that. Have you changed the tracker URLs accordingly already?

By the way, you're not the first person I've seen report stat tracking issues with BitTorrent 7.7. See if another client on the Whitelist gives you the same issues.

Also check the domain extension and make sure that it's .me, and not .com.

[kainpen]

My account was deleted when the box torrent moved. So it this is also new an so are the downloads, I double checked domain and they are point to .me. I tried a white list of U torrent also. Same thing no uploading happens. Is baka tracker use a cretin port? for uploading? Maybe it is blocked by something in my router or ISP? I tried replace routers a while back I noticed it no changed.

[Freedom Kira]

Could you link to your tracker profile? Since your account was pruned at one point, it's not accessible normally.

v Thanks buddy.
Kainpen - It doesn't look like anything's wrong. Maybe keep track of your total uploaded amount and report back if nothing changes in a week or two?
