upload ratio help

[cp2000]

@eobox91103 i lost my first 2tb of material that started back in 2008 including all my jockphysical collection straight from the site - i was the first to upload anyhting from jockphysical... was sad to see him get murdered. I had stuff on there I cant find anywhere online.

but after that catastrophic data loss I finally have mirrored everything i get now in a system. Seedbox has improved this all drastically. i have dual 20TB mirrored now im good for awhile.

after getting seedbox I went on a splurge and downloaded now like 4tb+ of stuff ive wanted and now my ratio and buffer is huge.

Im done losing data.

@eobox91103 Perhaps you have donated to the site? Other people do report the limits on simultaneous leeching.

And, yeah, this can snowball in both directions - you have enough ratio, so you comfortably download more and right away, so you can just keep seeding it and maintain the ratio. And vice versa - when your ratio is low, you download a few files, or hope for a freeleech - then, when it doesn't happen even your best attempts at seeding won't be enough.

When some people have 10x the upload speed or more, and have external IP addresses, meaning people can connect to them, giving them maybe 5x more peers, looks like only large, 50-100GB torrents can leave enough room for everyone.
