<p dir="auto">Minimum ratio = the minimal Share ratio you need to have to be able to download.</p>
<p dir="auto">It happens because there is no data flow from you to other users, as there are to many seeders and too few leechers connected to your torrents.</p>

What is different between share ratio and minimum ratio?<br />
…</p>

<p dir="auto">Share ratio is simply the amount of uploaded data divided by the amount of downloaded data (Ratio = UL/DL)<br />
The minimum (share) ratio is an arbitrary (by the high powers of this site) defined requirement (rule). The reason to require a minimum share ratio is to avoid hit and run downloads, keep torrents seed and available, have fast downloads etc …</p>

<p dir="auto">The problem is the internet connections allowing usually much faster download than upload. This can only be compensating by longer seeding once a download has been finished. In addition to upload there must be downloader. On older torrents, other downloader will not be available immediately but sometimes only after days, weeks or months.</p>
<p dir="auto">If you ask why my torrent shows leeching, though I have completed the download, this is due to the 30 minutes update cycle between tracker and torrent client. Last update was at 10:07 CEST, you finished the download at 10:14 CEST. With the update at 10:37 CEST the download should become zero.</p>
