Re: ratio degrades without even downloading ???

If you take a look at your stats:
146.75 GB/528.57 GB/3.60

The first number is the amount you have downloaded. The second number is how much you have uploaded. The last number is your ratio (upload divided by download). The goal is to give back (upload) at least as much as you have taken (downloaded). If you give exactly as much as you take, you will have a 1.0 ratio. If you take more than you give, your ratio would be less than 1.0. In your case, you have given much more than you have taken and so your ratio is greater than 1.0, which is a good thing. Thanks!
