What is the amount of data...
-
you have uploaded so far on GTru?
Mine is 674 GB (I know it's not that much, I joined this site not so long ago) -
UL: 36.59 TB
DL: 8.26 TB -
@kekkaishi said in What is the amount of data...:
UL: 36.59 TB
DL: 8.26 TBThat's a DAMNED impressive ratio!
I've uploaded almost 30TB and downloaded almost 25TB
Needless to say, I don't keep content for long

@Kekkaishi @bi4smooth Can I ask you how you reached such an impressive amount? I mean, 30/36 TB are 30/36 thousand GB, which can be translated as 30/36 thousand videos of 1 GB each (especially if they are in 1080p quality). Where did you find all these videos to upload?
(you're not the only ones, as I can see from the online users on the main page) -
First, let's understand the numbers you're looking at:
- Upload byte count isn't how much you've uploaded *of your own content, it's how much data you've uploaded in total
- Download byte count isn't necessarily how much you've downloaded - because there are *FREELEECH torrents that are recorded, but don't count!
So, for example: Say I download an awesome Asian Porn movie from PeterFever.
- It's 800GB in size, so that's 800GB in download "charged" to my account.
- After I download it, I keep seeding it... and over a few days or weeks, enough other people download it - with my part being just a fraction of some of those downloads - and my upload count for that file reaches 1600GB, so I stop seeding.
- NOTE: I picked that number because my torrent program comes pre-configured to STOP seeding when the ratio hits 2.0 - a setting I change, but it's the default... if yours has a default like that too, I recommend turning it off!
Now, for a REAL booster, I keep an eye on that torrent and I see that activity on the file has dropped off (few, if any downloaders now). More importantly, I see that I am one of a very small number of people seeding it - but I also know that a LOT of people love bareback Asian porn like me, so I go back to the torrent listing in the tracker (e.g. on the site) and I use some of my SBP to make that torrent FREELEECH for 24-hours!
That attracts a LOT of downloaders, so my upload credits go UP UP UP because I'm seeding (helping to seed) all those new downloaders (and I'm one of only a few - if not the ONLY one - seeding it!)
NOTE: Be careful spending your SBP for FREELEECH: if it's not a popular file, or there are too many other seeders, you may not get as many upload "credits" as it cost you in SBP!
Remember: 600 SPB = 10GB of upload credit!If your ratio (upload divided by download) gets outta whack, remember that you can download a FREELEECH torrent for free (download doesn't count in your download part of the ratio)! If you haven't noticed: mods freeleech torrents - sometimes for an entire week! Lord knows why, but in the end there are ALWAYS plenty of FREELEECH torrents to choose from! But the point is, LOTS of people download the FREELEECH torrents, and if you're one of the seeders, you're getting upload credit while they're getting the download for free!
My final comment on how my numbers got so high... I've been on this site since 2008...

@soulcalibour
There are a few main reasons why I have a relatively good ratio- I seed 24/7. Even though the torrent client is open all the time, it seems to be able to actively seed several hours within 24 hours (mostly on night time)
- I intentionaly download FREELEECH torrents that have good leech/seed ratio. Even though I almost always delete them after a few days when seeding is no longer happening. Then I download the next freeleech torrent
- You get bonus points for torrents you vote on and (I found out not too long ago) that you get bonus points for every forum post you make (which before the forum design change I was faily active) - You can exchange these points for upload
I currently have 6,816.5 bonus points
*Also I'm mostly careful about what I download and the size of course
*Also I'm a member since 2013
