Re: Ratio Questions..

You guys are all right about DHT and how it is best to leave it off. But one thing you didn't touch on is that once you have downloaded/uploaded several GBs, uploading to a ratio over over 1.0 on a torrent will really not change your ratio too much. Example:

Let's say you start out like this:
(100.00 GB/100.00 GB/1.0)

Then you go and seed to a 3.0 on a 4 GB torrent (4 GB down/ 12 GB up):
(100.00+4 GB/100.00+12 GB/1.0+?)
(104.00 GB/112.00 GB/1.08)

So, even though you seeded to a big 3.0 ratio on that one torrent, you only increase you ratio by about 0.08.
