What's up ratio?
-
So my download buffer went to 999gb and I thought it would quickly go to 1000gb, but it suddenly started to show as 0.98tb. It's been like that for hours even though I've uploaded at least 2gb since then.
Anyone have any clues as to what is going on?

Units here are powers of two:
1 KB = 1024 bytes
1 MB = 1024 KB
1 GB = 1024 MB
1 TB = 1024 GBSo 0.98 TB * 1024 GB/TB = ~1004 GB. Actually the upload and download is stored in bytes and displayed rounded.
That is the way how Microsoft Windows uses units, but using KiB, MiB, GiB and TiB would be correct and avoid confusion with decimal system based units (as used by storage device manufacturers).

MancCub, be careful with under a TB of buffer you could easily lose your download rights
Just joking

Since you are now in the TB range it will take 10.24 GB appx to raise your UL .01

Ah I see, that explains it, thanks for the help.
And thanks to the others for replying too, appreciated.
