I can't seed(Solved)
« on: December 15, 2012, 11:18:34 PM »
Generally when I'm downloading something, it's seeding but when I download from this site, the files doesn't seed. I try to search in the wiki and in other threads but I don't get the answer. Thanks.

To be able to upload data (seed), someone has to be willing to download from you (leech). You've seeded your oldest torrent for about 4.5 hours, which is not nearly long enough, especially since there are hundreds of other seeders who are competing with you for the few leechers on that specific torrent.

My tip is to stick to freeleech right now until you've built up a big enough buffer to be able to download regular torrents without having to care too much about the ratio later.

Edit: BakaBT is known for having a ridiculous amount of seeders.

OK. it's so weird having a lot of seeders, generally is the opposite. thanks for your answer.

It's not so weird here in BakaBT since the concept is that you must seed so that you can download from them. Which is actually nice since you can assure that every torrent works well.

Not that unusual with private trackers. They have closed communities with a high incentive to seed (so you can keep your membership.) Bakabt combines it with a public key that offsets some of the difficulty in finding leechers purely private trackers frequently have.
