Thanks so much. Am trying to catch up after the Vuze fiasco

AhSO   Ok. Thanks for the answer

I have had a very odd issue with the last few files I've uploaded. Shortly after starting to seed the file, the tracker shows 1 or 2 seeders besides me. Although I've set my upload speed to the highest limit, my upload speed is very slow. Then, after a short time, my seeding stops.

The lastest example is that shortly after uploading a 667mb file, is has been snatched 9 times, but I have uploaded (according to the uTorrent tracker) only 130mb and my ratio for the file is 0.189.

I am an admitted idiot about how torrents work, and who is also seeding a file from a torrent I created. My biggest concern is that the very low ratio rate is going to affect my overall ratio here. If that is the case, then why upload?

Any advice/info/help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for the reply. I understand about freeleeches, so only download those that have lots of time left.

i used to use Vuze, and my uploads would stop seeding as soon as they had been leeched. Following a moderator's advice, I've switched to uTorrent, and it's better now, but when I upload a file, the upload speed is really good, but as soon as one leecher grabs it, my uploading slows way down or stops altogether. This morning I uploaded an 807mb file, it has been grabbed 71 times, and yet uTorrent says I've uploaded only 207mb and my ratio for that file is .257. It is really frustrating. In the past few days I've uploaded a number of files, downloaded not much, and my overally ratio is the same. I don't know how to fix this, and it is a bit unmotivating   Any help/advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I am very confused about how ratios work. 1) Why is it that when I've uploaded a file, the uTorrent shows the ratio to be .544?
2) How is it that in the course of an hour when I've uploaded a file and downloaded two "freeleech" files, my overall ratio actually goes down.

I confess outright I do not understand these things, so if anyone would be so kind to explain, I would really appreciate it. And remember, I have confessed I know nothing about this, so please be kind in your response  :laugh:

I wasn't able to find it when i tried, so I tried uTorrent classic, and it's all there, so am going to stick with that for awhile and see what happens. I probably didn't look hard enough because I was frustrated with my sinking ratios (1.06 here - 4+ elsewhere). But thanks so much for taking the time to answer me. I may give it a go again if this doesn't work out. Cheers!

I have downloaded it, and you are right. It looks exactly like Vuze. But also like Vuze, it doesn't continue seeding and I see no right-click option for forced seeding

Thanks

Thanks so much (particularly since "force seed" doesn't seem to exist anymore…I used to use it). Thanks again

I have a problem with Vuze seeding (and I have made the changes recommended in the FAQ). When I upload to or download a file from this site, the seeding stops once the it has been grabbed once or the download finishes. As a result, despite the fact I am almost constantly online, my ratio is getting worse. What really confuses me is that this only happens here. Torrents I download from other sites seed normally.

Does anyone know if this is a Vuze problem, or is there something abnormal about my connection to the tracker here? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
