Torrent Ratio

[lxskllr]

Like the topic says. I generally aim for a 1:1 ratio, but I won't leave my client open forever to get that. I'm also not as particular if there's a ton of seeders.

I don't think that was a question. This is about bittorrent use, not piracy ;^)

 

[LS21]

10:1

 

[Crono]

0:0
(well, 1:1)
I don't use torrents anymore.

it's an odd choice for something to have sex with, but i guess all that time on the high seas really messes with your libido. ARRRRRR

 

[BW86]

~.5:1

 

[Shawn]

1.5

 

[reallyscrued]

1:1 at the least before I remove the torrent.

2:1 if I really want the file to be perpetuated.

Depends on what it is, if it's for archival, then I leave it till catestrophic hard drive failure resulting in data loss.

If not, then I remove after a week, if ratio after a week isn't at least 1, then until it is 1:1.

I generally don't worry too much about specific ratios..mostly lengths of time.

1:1 if there isn't a shit ton of seeders.
0.5:1 if there is a shit ton of seeders.

>1 if the ratio is tracked. Very little if it isn't. If a torrent is rare and I want to keep it going, I'll seed for a month or so.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

0:0

 

[markgm]

10 to 20:1. Usually if something is good I seed it forever, if it sucks I'll delete it right away so no one else has to put up with it.

 

[amdhunter]

lol torrents.

 

[rh71]

uploaded 1.47 TB 😉

I'm 2.15 max but 1.99 right now.

FIOS FTW.

I barely seed. My connection takes a shit-kicking when uploading at anything over 25kbp/s. It's ridiculous.

 

[Chronoshock]

If ratio is tracked, 1.5:1
If it isn't I'll seed at unlimited speed while I'm downloading and then maybe another 30m - 1hr afterwards.

Who said anything about games?

 

[l0cke]

It depends if I liked what the torrent was or not.

 

[ViviTheMage]

this year I have done about 500GB worth of downloads, and 1TB worth of uploads. ..roughly

Linux distros, or legally free media? There are legal torrents out there, you know.
