My BitTorrent Client is seeding rarely

gerdfranzm

Hi,

I have about 30 actual torrent files in my BitTorrent Client. But I rarely see a file seeding … sometime a few k's for a few seconds. Thats the reason why I'm having problems to keep up a good sharing ratio ...

I've restriced the Upload speed to 50kb/s. My Upload Speed ist about 100kb/s (1024kbit/s).

Thanks for your advice.

Regards

Gerd

I took a look at your account and you only have a few torrents that have actual leechers and then there are only 1 or 2 leechers on those torrents. This means you will not show much upload speed unfortunately. Because you are at the mercy of the download speed of the single leecher and the # of seeders on that torrent as well can limit your portion of the uploading swarm. I hope this makes sense to you, it can be very confusing.

You should set your client upload speed to Unlimited as a first step.

Then you should download something you like from the newest torrent posts to the tracker. Torrents that have only 1 seeder and many leechers is best. These torrent will usually seed while leeching as new members join the leeching swarm. They also will continue to seed after the download is completed. Downloading older torrents will not usually help your ratio no matter how badly you may want the torrent.

You have uploaded 1 torrent to the tracker already and if you have more this helps your ratio greatly as well.

I will give you 100 Seed Bonus Points for that upload. This will give you the Seed Bonus Points to fix your ratio but just barely. Then try the above advice for a few days or so and see if this help you build your ratio. It may be slow but gain is gain just be patient with the process. And if you have any more questions just ask. :hug:

Hi leatherbear,

i like leather & bears

Thanks for your detailed reply. The torrents I've downloaded recently are new torrents from the bear/mature/daddies section. But I guess the majority doesn't prefer this

So I'll first search a torrent with less seeders and will see how it works. I'll come back to you.

Cheers

Gerd
