Thank you everyone for the advice, I shall try to follow it all!

Uwe: yes, the download rate is damn good, considering it's only ADSL. I've made sure to force encrypted connections. I had the upload rate set to max, now I've set it to something smaller manually so it doesn't choke.

However I can 't find the integrated upload speed test you mentioned; perhaps it's only available on the Windows client?

Many thanks all; if I can't get my ratio up quickly, then I'll be stuck in upload-only mode for a while. C'est la vie, and it's fair. I'll just have to ask people to download stuff I've got!

Hi everyone,

Firstly sorry if this is a stupid question and/or has already been answered.

Right - fantastic site, and great downloads. But despite the fact that I am seeding (I think!) everything I download, and doing that thing where you seed even as you download ("Initial Seeding" on uTorrent, on Mac), and despite trying to find a few torrents with loads of leechers, I've uploaded only a few tends of MB!

Is there an easy way to find excellent torrents to download to upload my ratio? I've disabled my download, so I'm upload only at the moment, but I'm going to get suspended in a day or so unless I fix this cock-up and massively improve my ratio :s

Thanks!
