Let me guess, in COBOL, right?

Hope you enjoy your vacation

Look what arrived this morning. It's Cure Moonlight / Yuri from Heartcatch Precure.
After my retailer didn't get their supply allocation it was all panic to find a place that still had some in stock. Few weeks and a customs charge later, she is here.
Phone camera not that great, but some nice pictures are here

After deleting the main of my anime from my HDD, I decided to try and seed the very few torrents I saved (the series I haven't finished) and fix my ratio with just that.

^Good luck, though fixing ratio is so easy, just takes patience

Not when everything is being seeded and no one is downloading anything

I always have at least one torrent uploading, even if it is <100kb/s

froody1911 · « **Reply #29527 on:** June 29, 2011, 12:45:24 PM »

^ I don't know whether to laugh or cry. My UL speed is 32kb/s, and even with a dozen torrents seeding I usually get only 24-25kb/s

...well, unless I'm initial seeding a torrent I uploaded.

Havoc10K · « **Reply #29528 on:** June 29, 2011, 12:48:09 PM »

I need to limit my upload speed to 100kbps per slot ... unless I have no downloads atm, then I limit it to 150...

But still, 80% of stuff on BBT is seedboxed, you can pretty much only keep uploading stuff and hope you get someone who actually needs to download something.

On an average day I'll either have a few 0.1 - 30 kB/s, or a 200kB/s and a few <70kB/s uploading on a great day.

Peh most of my peers have gone from 30 to 6.

Seeding on BBT is easy, it just takes a while. I can usually reseed most torrents to 1.0 within a month or two of downloading them, and when I have 7-8 torrents seeding, there's usually at least one of them uploading at any one time.

It's way better than places like AnimeBytes which have a seed:peer ratio of 220:1, and you can seed a torrent for months without uploading a single byte of data. BBT's 18:1 is quite good compared to some private sites.

was testing my speed again and I don't know what to believe. http://speedtest.net first said 2 mbps, then it said 7 mbps, then it said 22 mbps. (All for Download. Upload was always the same at 4 mbps)

Havoc10K · « **Reply #29533 on:** June 29, 2011, 01:18:45 PM »

Believe your provider contract

it will never get past beyond what is listed there

It says up to 15mbps, which does seem to be the average speed I'm getting.

Went out running for 5km in this stupid heat, dumbest thing I've done in a long time...

Do you get different speeds when testing it several times in a row? And are you closing any program that may use it ?

I run 100+ torrents seeding and I always max out my line

pingryanime · « **Reply #29537 on:** June 29, 2011, 05:03:13 PM »

I usually upload around 500kbps

Only Problem is my torrents usually dont upload cuz of the seed:leech ratio

All in a row. No closing of anything. Had utorrent, FF5, Chrome, mIRC, task manager open. I didnt close any. It then started staying at 13 - 20 mbps after like 10 times.

Seems hard to keep a positive ratio with 500kbps. I can get around 1400kbps on a good day.
