        There's a ton of threads about it that you'll see if you do a search for "ratio," but I would just go to the Freeleech section, and download huge files that have a few leechers and a lot of time left.

          The ratio is simply the amount you have uploaded divided by the amount you have downloaded.

          The minimum ratio requirements are explained (sort of) HERE

          You have downloaded less than 5GB so you need a ratio of at least 0.25.

          If you uploaded your own video of 2GB you haven't been given the full  credit. But if you were helping to seed a torrent you would only get a credit for the amount you actually shared with other people.

          You don't need to go 'full freeleech' yet (although it is useful if there is a movie there you want) as you have a buffer of nearly a GB before you reach your limit. Just take the downloading easy until you build a good ratio and keep an eye on your ratio as you go 🙂

            And just to clarify, bagus, by me saying "just go to the Freeleech section," I meant simply go there in order to "build a good ratio," like cannonmc said, since that's the best way to do it (if you're new and don't have much to share yet) to gain a lot of download buffer or privilege… (didn't mean only do Freeleech, in case it came across that way, but yeah… that's THE place to go if you want a good ratio. :P)

                I just looked at your profile and saw why you didn't get upload credit….  It's a duplicate that got removed from public view for one thing.... And for another, you haven't seeded it to completion. That's why you never saw the upload credit. The upload is stuck at 13.96% because you are not seeding it at all now.

                    I am glad for this kind of topic, if I have the sense of reading ratio/freeleech topics b4, I might not have get a warning during my first 2 weeks here in this site….. My question is, which is better, freeleech with many seeders or with many leechers (coz I only dl fl which I really like)

                      It depends what you want:

                      • fast download > many seeds
                      • own upload > many downloading peers

                      Attention to multiple file torrents. Peers appearing as downloading, might just have selected not all files to download and got them. They seed what they've got, without downloading further. They just can't be counted as seeds, because they haven't all files to share.
