Very low upload rate… what's wrong?
-
As cannonmc suggested you have enough SBP to buy your way to your minimum ratio. You could always upload a new torrent. If you are seeding a torrent or have downloaded a torrent and it has no seeders or you are either the only seeder or it has very few seeders (one or two others besides yourself) you could always make it freeleech. I noticed you have never voted on the categories of the torrents you have completely downloaded. You have many options, but you best one to dig yourself out of 84 GB is to either buy your way free or upload new torrents and in your case I would suggest collections and not single files.

I have been having the same issue. I am a network architect. I have done everything I can think of and followed any suggestions. Nothing has worked. I get awesome speeds everywhere except here.
I am beginning to think it is a ploy to get us to donate. At the donation rate they offer is a joke. Way too expensive for a few GB.

Members need to understand that it is their downloads which will generate uploads for others and that high ratio is not a purpose on its own. Even assuming the highest minimum ratio requirement of 0.800 it means downloads will generate upload at other members allowing to download 1.25 times of that.
So what we need are members with high share ratio and high absolute values (ratio above lets say 2.000 and upload above 50 GB) are starting actually to download.
It is not helpful to the community to try to have skyscraper high ratio, ratios between 0.8 and 1.25 are much healthier.
In short: We need more downloads!

Popper,
If GT is aware of the problem. Then why don't they make adjustments to help correct it?
I leave my computer on majority of the time so I can share. I have been trying for quite a few months to raise my ratio above .80
Guess what. I can't download because I fell below .80 but, my upload speeds to GT are near non-existent. (catch 22)I can only imagine the number of members that are having the same problem as I. We can't download till we raise our upload but, not enough members are downloading to raise our ratio.
So, If the problem with upload speeds is that there are not enough people downloading. Then you need to lower the ratio and put the bonus received for uploading on a sliding scale. Once a member passes say 1.25 ratio that the bonus decreases as that members ratio continues gets higher. This will motivate those with a low ratio to upload. At the same time it will make it less appealing to the high ratios that don't download.
Just my 2 cents. Maybe it will give GT something to think about.

PS
I will not buy a seedbox!

All of the 10+ torrents you are seedng have zero leechers….. one or two have one leecher. That is why you do not see any upload and your ratio does not change.

Also once you have gotten into the TB range for you downloads and uploads your ratio will not move as fast. As in your case to get back to a minimum ratio you only need your ratio to move 0.016, however, that translates into 62.06 GB of data.
I believe there are downloaders, but like all things you just can't set your torrents and forget about them. It is something you have to monitor all the time. Delete the ones that are not producing and add ones that will produce for you. Also the best way to gain UL will always be to upload new content, which makes you the only seeder.

Popper,
That is what I am currently uploading. I have gotten sick of leaving my computer running 24/7 and not sharing to the other sites that I have no issues with. I am not going to dedicate 100% of my sharing to a site that sucks.
This was my fav site b4 but, for months and months I have not had a decent up speed. even when I was sharing 100's of torrents.
goodbye GT. You have went to hell

Only two of the torrents you are seeding have one leecher the rest are ZERO, That would by why you don't see any upload.

adidasjock, it would be a shame to lose a member who has uploaded as much as you have. But that is part of the problem, sadly, when you need to upload so much to nudge your figures.
And it doesn't matter how many torrents you have open for sharing, if no-one needs what you have to offer, i.e. they have already completed, then your upload will not increase.
I don't understand, if you are not connecting here to seed, how that would affect your seeding to other sites. Unless your torrent client restricts connections, any bandwidth not used here is available for other sites.
You can still download and seed freeleech torrents. I am not one to advocate doing that just for the sake of improving your ratio, but if there is a good freeleech torrent with some downloaders, it's good to grab.
I honestly feel you are getting angry with the wrong thing.

I'm having the same problem as well. I just joined a few days ago and made the mistake of downloading 2 files that don't have many peers but the thing that I notice keeps happening is that the torrent in my client just vanishes after I restart. I've never seen that before. I tried opening it up again but it keeps wanting to download it again. I am on many torrent sites with ratio requirements and I've never had trouble getting my ratio up fast. I downloaded 2 files that seemed popular and had lots of peers and few seeds. Looking at them now my upload rate is still really really bad. If this was something happening on all sites for me then I would think it's my connection but this is the first time I've seen this. I have 1 day before my download privileges are disabled. If these 2 seemingly popular torrents with need for seeding don't help I'm not going to just start donating to get more space. Especially if lots of other people are having similar issues. I'm using U-torrent.

I like that suggestion of: If you have trouble with your ratio, your bonus seedpoints can be increased. And when you are again at a reasonable ratio, you get back to the normal bonus points. This would help everyone.

Why not boosting all constant uploaders?

…I have 1 day before my download privileges are disabled...
Hedrus your profile says you have 18 days grace to raise your ratio. I'd suggest you check out the freeleech torrents and see if you can find one with downloaders.
Usually the reason people's upload doesn't increase turns out to be no-one is looking for your torrents
PS an even better way to increase is to upload your own torrent

No-one is looking for your torrents or no-one can distinguish & download your torrents..

I also am having the same problem

All of the torrent you are seeding have many seeders and ZERO leechers. So no upload.

Alright I am one of those users with a skyscraper high ratio currently at 89.001 but I didn't get it by not downloading. I got it by choosing what to download.
I picked out everything I wanted to download about a year back and downloaded, then after that just to keep my ratio high I downloaded a bunch of Freeleech torrents everyday just to keep my ratio high enough to download more if I wanted. By the time I finally found a few torrents that I wanted to download I found I had enough seed bonus points to Freeleech them for everyone to enjoy. Today alone I downloaded over 30GBs so don't try to blame me for the low ratios of others.If you want some advice just download all the Freeleech torrents that you think you'll like every day and delete the ones you don't want at the end of the day. Since these almost always have leechers you should quickly see an improvement in your ratio. For you guys out there using Utorrent take a minute and click on the "Options" tab to find the "Setup Guide" and click "run test" (especially if you are seeing your upload speed tap out at around 40kbs). Utorrent has a pretty low preset upload speed so running the test will show the program how fast your internet connection can actually upload.
Lastly if you adopt this practice seed bonus points become very easy to collect (I've got over 10,000 at the moment). Just take some time do category votes on your downloads. The process takes about 5 seconds and gives you 2 seed bonus points per vote. Additionally if you still haven't got enough you could potentially cheat the system a bit while helping others out by freeleeching a few small files from the comics section then downloading them and casting a vote, many of those files will take less than a single seed bonus point to freeleech for a day and you'll still get 2 seed bonus points for voting on them. You can then trade in those SB points for a Ratio boost.
So people please stop complaining there are plenty of ways to get your Ratio up if you look for them. Lastly don't hate the player baby, hate the game.

OK, I'll download stuff I think I'll like. But I am not going to clog up my bandwidth just for the sake of it.
As few people actually say thank you to the seeders who post torrents, I doubt we will get much gratitude for downloading free leech stuff so others can increase their ratio
