More leechers than seeders - STILL !!!!
-
I find this discussion interesting but almost without warrant, due mainly to the complexity of the arguments. For instance I?ve recently completed downloading ?pension juniors? ? a fab movie that I?m certain must be popular. Even though I have it available for seeding no one is taking it up, I?m sure this is due to the fact that there are already a high enough number of seeders. So I WANT it uploaded to improve my ratio and because I, like most of you, feel compelled to share in the spirit of ?community? but it proves impossible.
When all is said & done, this is a fine site with a credible and welcome attitude.
Long may it continue ? sam xxx

My PC is on and online 24/7 and most of the time I am seeding items that I have downloaded. About the only time I am not seeding is when I am online (as it slows down my surfing when seeding).

Hi, every time I download a torrent I try 2 seed it till my ratio is 1. I keep seeding only if I see that there are no other seeders or if I see a request? i deleted most of the monies I downloaded, because I dont like them. Isn?t over seeding a bad think? When I finish downloading a new torrent, most of the time a have o ratio of 1.5 or more ?? I have the feeling that I did something wrong and not that I helped. I?m I wrong ? why seeding 24/7 when somebody?s ratio is 1?

Some over seeding isn't a problem. It's when people over seed by huge numbers that causes the problems.
There will always be people who refuse to seed back, so the rest of us have to take up the slack. This will cause the good users to over seed on many torrents.
If your client is set up correctly you can leave it to run 24/7 {if your ISP allows it} and it will seed as needed and tend not to over seed unless there are no other seeders.

we should all get symmetrical lines then i would not have a problem seeding
if not symmetrical lines (like 1mb down and 1mb up) then fiber like 10down 1 mb upthere should be a law that would make minimum upload to 1Mb
that would be cooli envy you guys with FiOS in the usa or fiber in north of europe and asia
stuck with cable and only 400kb upload between 4 people in the house

Well I have ~YET~ to see a SINGLE torrent site that has an even s/l ratio. There will ALWAYS be more seeders than leechers and if you get TOO strict than you end up losing people, including the seeders!
One part of the problem is that people don't know how to use the programs properly, I usually upload 24/7 as of late since getting uTorrent, it has a scheduling option so you can set up how much bandwidth you wanna use at any point of the day, so, when I'm sleeping or @ work or out doing shit etc. etc. I can set it up to use all my bandwidth otherwise, I only upload at 10k when I'm home using the internet, now if everyone else did this as well, this problem wouldn't occur but most people don't think they need to seed and even when they do, the only seed the minimal amount, but, like I said before, that's any torrent site you go to :lol:

Well, i'm sorry if i am one of the 'hit and run' guys. I download two or three asian and cadionot movies, and still, i spent my leisure time to seed them back. U see, i want to seed them back but i hardly get any peers. I dun know if the problem is related to the fact that my ISP is the worst ever ISP, small bandwith and all.
Right now, i'm trying to find any hot videos that i could upload. The 21 days you give…. erm.... its alrite i guess
I juz want to comment the Profile section. The edit password feature seems... too obvious. I have some suggestion though, maybe u could limit the number of download using the ratio as a basic.
Let say, 0.1 - 0.15 : maximum 1 download, limits to 50 MB per file
0.15 - 0.2 : maximum 1 download, limits to 100 MB per file
0.20 - 0.25 : maximum 1 download, limits to 150 MB per file and so onI'm juz giving u a suggestion. I might not be a good seeder
but i'm trying to give u some ideas. It may sounds stupid and easily said than done.However, i think this site still need some improvement. Couldn't u juz make the video pics open in a new window instead of popping it? I have some issues with pop-ups. They bring lots of viruses and thats why i disabled it through Firefox

Sounds like a great idea at first - if you're not lifting your weight, restrict your downloads.
But, the problem is, everyone begins at a ratio of 0. And by your plan, that means everyone starts with a file size limit of 50mb.
Who wants a 50mb file?? Talk about crummy quality viewing. The only people who would want to download a 50mb file are those who need to just to get their ratio up to begin with. But, because nobody wants to download it, their ratio never really increases.
The thing I like about gt.ru is that people don't hold back on the quality (and hence filesize) of the shares. I think the filesize limiting might work against that
A better idea might be say
0.1 - 0.15 : maximum 1 download, no limit on filesize, but you can only download 50mb of that file (in other words, until you get over 0.15 ratio, you're stuck with only 50mb of the large file you started downloading.) This means people when they first start out will look for torrents that are in high demand to get over that hump asap - that's starts them out with the right habits, and it's good for everyone at gt.ruHmm, now that I re-read what you said, maybe that's what you meant all along? Should I still hit the submit button?…. yeah why not.

The problem is you have to find a file that someone else wants or you could be stuck.
If you are into some of the lesser used torrent sections, then it can be hard to find leechers to share to. Twinks, Youngbloods and hunks will always have someone to leech to, but some of the others may not.

Herm, thats fine, the value can be changeable. You only specify things that i not. Its okay,
