      Hi Everyone,

      I might just be impatient, but I downloaded a couple old torrents as my first and realized my mistake, as nobody is downloaded them any more.

      So, just to get things going and get my seed ratio higher I uploaded this guy: https://www.gaytorrent.ru/details.php?id=df4155ffb1333bfa684c8f77e9203cfcf9010f0e07342bad

      I've had 3 snatches and uploaded a total of 650 mb but I still don't see my ratio going up? do uploaded torrents not count towards your ratio?

      just as some additional proof, here is a screenshot of my torrent program. https://imgur.com/a/e11ac

      Am I doing something wrong?

          This is actually a common question… I will explain why this happens.

          Your torrent client updates with the tracker to obtain the list of peers and update your transfer statistics once every 30 minutes. This will mean that you'll have about 30 minutes where everything stays the same, and then all of the sudden, the stats will update. If you're seeding multiple torrents, this can become a little more complex, because the 30 minute refresh period is based on each torrent individually from the time it was started.

          So... This is not at all unusual.

          I also see that your upload speed is not the greatest, which kind of confuses me because I'm very familiar with your geographical area (as you're not all that far from me it would seem) and your ISP, and I fail to understand why it is so slow. The only thing that I could think of is that you have their ultra lite package perhaps?

          Anyhoo... Since it would appear that you're trying to do the right thing, before your torrent gets purged from the system completely, I'm going to use it to gift you some SBP to help get your ratio in check. This should help to give you a boost to where you ideally need to be. Hopefully, this will help to get you on your way.

            I'm curious about that too. I actually have their gigabit package (upload is up 25mbps). I'm not sure really, I still get the occasional hit and when I do I get about 3 mbps upload. Ports are forwarded correctly. Perhaps my taste in porn is unusual. but the seed points really help me get going, so thank you very much.

              Ah… I will send you a PM because I do not want to discuss certain aspects of the matter in public view. 🙂
