<![CDATA[Ratio if downloading my own upload]]>Hey there, I got a question...
I uploaded a huge collection of clips from a special site and due to some technical problems I ended up losing the original files on my computer.
If I download my own upload will it count as a regular download or being my own it's like a freeleech? I do not want to stop seeding but I can't use my ratio on this!

Thanks

It's supossed to have 36 seeders, so I guess the torrent is fine!

Thanks again

if the torrent currently have a low number of seeders you can request it to be freeleeched here in the forum or via the helpdesk.

if it has enough seeders, you're out of luck.

So I'll wait for some moderators to confirm what you said before deciding!

Thanks

Depending on the size of the collection and how much download buffer you have, you could set your torrent software to download some of the files (25% maybe?) and see how much they are then seeded out to other users. If they're popular, you might improve your ratio...and then you can download more.

I am not seeding the files now, and I meant I want to have them again to start seeding again?

(Someone who knows this stuff better than I do might want to weigh in here.)

I'm a bit confused, though, when you say you lost the original files but you don't want to stop seeding: If you don't have the files, how are you seeding them.

I know how frustrating it is to lose files.I hope you get over this hurdle soon.
