        currently you haven't uploaded any files, this explains why nobody has downloaded them

          I understand I have been blocked for the ratio of 0.171 and all activity has been stopped but I cannot comprehend how that is possible since I have been seeding for a while now and actually have re-seed requests on seeds that are blocked at this moment.

          I understand that you want to get rid of the leechers however, blocking me all together including my seeding?

          How am I to get my ratio up now??????

            You have downloaded 6 videos but they are all stopped. Four of those videos have leechers wanting the files.

              So to ask the question, since I have completed torrents trying to seed, they cannot because of this ban (also I have been seeding for a while); since I cannot upload to even seed is the only option for me to "donate"??

                You can still seed (and re-download) torrents that you've completed, in an attempt to increase your ratio.
                My guess is that the torrents that you've been "seeding for a while" have had a low amount of leechers, which have barely made any difference to your ratio.

                If you decide to upload a torrent. Then yes, you will be able to re-download the torrent-file to successfully seed the file.

                  There are three ways to improve your Ratio:

                  1. Seed torrents with a lot of leechers, or torrents with very few or no other seeders.

                  2. Upload a new torrent ? make sure you use ?Search? to prevent duplicates, and make sure that you are not seeding or leeching anything else until 3 or 4 others have snatched the complete file. (Read the rules!)

                  3. The easiest way to improve you ratio is to click on the ?Donate? on the top blue stripe. Make a contribution to the site to help defray the hundreds of Euros (dollars) a month it costs to keep this site on the internet.

                  Im seeding like crazy, U32.67/D93.95 but my ratio keeps droping. When does it start to go up? And please tell me, what do I get for exchanging the bonus points when I reach 100, it says something about on the fly but I dont understand what that means. Also,how much of an increase in ratio would I get for $20 or so?

                    I just looked at your account. It shows that you are NOT seeding anything. Don't expect your account to get a better ratio unless you Seeding. You can leave your computer on all day, but if you are not Seeding, your ratio will not improve.

                      Im using azureus, when the movie has downloaded, it starts to seed. theres 25 and most of those show seeding, but to where? It shows uploaded amounts, in mb a few in gbs uploads speed and says its seeding, it shows number of seeds per file, but NO connected, so Im doing something wrong, please tell me what Im doing wrong so I can correct the problem.

                        Yes you are now seeding several torrents. BUT YOU ARE LEECHING 7 TORRENTS. The rate of kbs for Leeching/Downloading is about 5 times that of Seeding. As long as you continue to Leeching all those torrents your ratio will keep dropping. You are useing a large amout of your Bandwidth for Leeching! If you want your ratio to go up STOP LEECHING.

                            I am new to this site..
                            I would like to know.. what happens if you have downloaded a film but turns out no one is uploading from you.. does this affect your ratio?  I do not want to be classed as someone who just takes a film without sharing but if no one is uploading from you.. what do you do? keep it still open or find something that there is lots of people leaching etc!
                            I would be greatful for any help

                                I had to get rid of some files because my computer was too full and then I started getting a "ratio too low" warning and now my rights are disabled.

                                My Ratio is 0.345  UL: 285.60GB DL: 827.83GB

                                What's the minimum I need to donate to bring my ratio up to normal so I can download again?

                                    I don't know how to seed, or upload torrents.  However, I am willing to donate some money every once in a while to keep my ratio at its minimum.  The only trouble I have with that is that I don't know the monetary unit, or the equivalency of Euros.  What would the equivalency 5 Euros be in American $5.00?

                                      Due to the weird economic times we are having around the world, it's impossible to say what the currency conversion is going to be as it changes each day.

                                      Just this week we have seen $ gain on the Euro. It used to be $1.5 to €1, as of Tuesday they were nearly even.  That's not to say that it won't make another major swing in either direction.

                                      To be on the safe side, always expect it to be double what the amount is; ie $2 to €1.  This way you won't break your bank.  It won't be that dramatic, but that's how I do it to be safe.

                                        I'm planning to seed some torrents that have a very small number of seeders to improve my ratio. This is because seeding the movies that i've downloaded kinda takes too long because there's a lot of seeders already. Now im just wondering, how can i help seeding the torrent files that i haven't downloaded yet? Is that even possible?

                                          yes…..you can just download the torrent file and start it up in your client.....
                                          if the video is in the default download location then the client will hash check the torrent and it will seed....

                                          if it doesnt automatically hash check then you will have to point your client in the direction of the file
                                          (for example - if your using µtorrent you'll have to stop the torrent from downloading --> right click and select --> advanced settings --> set download location.....find the file and click ok --> again right click--> select "Force Re-check"
                                          in this way your file will be checked to a 100% and start seeding.....)

                                          Dear Lord, I pray for:
                                          Wisdom  to  understand  my  man,
                                          Love  to  forgive  him,  and
                                          Patience  for  his  moods.
                                          Because,  Lord,  if  I  pray  for  Strength,  I'll beat  him to  death !

                                            Hey Guys. I'm having a bit of trouble. I am completely computer illiterate apparently and I have no idea what I'm doing. I just downloaded a file from this site using utorrent.com.

                                            Apparently the download was 1.17GB (Im assuming thats a very large file)
                                            My message inbox said I have three days to get my ratio up to 0.2. Currently it is a 0.000. And my upload status is at 0 as well. I have a bonus of 0.5…...whatever that means

                                            I left my download open and it says "seeding"....but I see no progress on my uploads. I really dont know what to do and I'm very lost. I read some of the posts on here to try and understand whats goin on but that didnt help either. Can someone please help me in the most SIMPLE was possible? lol

                                            How can I get my upload count up?
                                            and how does this frekkin upload, download, ration business work.

                                            HELP! Thanks.
