Can you re-download a torrent uploaded by yourself without affecting ratio?
-
Same question goes for completed torrents: Can re-download a completed torrent without affecting ratio?
-
Erm, no…I think.
If you mean you are getting a new copy of something you uploaded (say, you deleted your original copy, for instance) then it is treated as any other download and would affect your ratio.
If I've understood you properly.

cannonmc, is right. The downloaded data amount counts. This is concerning the digital media files shared by the torrent.
If you just want to get back the small .torrent file, to for example restart seeding a torrent's digital media files you've still got locally, the .torrent file download doesn't count to the ratio and for own uploads or earlier downloaded .torrent files not to the 24 hours limit either.

Thanks I was indeed referring to the data amount of the file or files within the torrent, but now that I know, I will rather store my videos in cd's than downloading them again from here.
Thanks for your answers.

Be aware that own burned CD might be usable only a quite limited time. Can be as short as 2 years. It depends on many factors, the media quality (the disc), the burner quality and speed, the storage conditions etc …
Archiving digital information over long time is a big issue. There is no support available allowing real long save storage. HDD are good for about 4 years (again variable) only ...
But anyway you can't be sure that a torrent will still be available after years here either.
