<![CDATA[Need help understanding on how ratio is calculated]]>To begin with let me tell you what I am assuming how this works.

Let's say I have a global ratio of 1.0
If I download a file and not share it / file ratio < 1.0, then my global ratio should decrease..
If I download a file and share it once / file ratio == 1.0, then my global ratio should stay the same.
If I download a file and share an amount of data > file size, then my global ratio should increase.

If this is true, how is it possible that after seeding 10 files, each with a ratio of 20+, my global ratio has decreased?

I have other active torrents but all of them have a ratio > 1.0 so it should not impact negatively.

Any ideas? I am starting to believe I have the whole concept wrong.

This only happens in this site. On other sites I have very high ratios and very easily achieved. Gaytor.rent is a nightmare.

Thank you

I think I get it.
So for a download of 500 (-5), I would need to seed 3000 mb to break even (without counting the bonus per hour)

Thank you 🙂

If you download large amount of data and sharing while downloading and seeding [includes other torrent]
your ratio is affected or triggered from the system ...

A download of 500 MB = minus (-) 5 [pts] or more deducted
while an upload of 500 MB = you earn only 1 point ...
while partial seeding you will get .05 or (1/2) of 500 MB share ...

To maintain your buffer/ratio avoid downlading large amount of torrent content exclude FREELEECH ...

Seed downloads to earn upload credit (newer torrents = more traffic)
Seed downloads to earn 0.5 seed bonus points per hour (exchange for upload credit)

Seeding too many torrents is not important, only if there are leechers connected from your distribution ...
