Question ratio degrades without even downloading ???

hi,

i haven't grabbed anything off TTD for over a week now, but i noticed my ratio is slowly but surely going downhill these last few days (from about 3.45 to 3.60 now) . I also get the FIREWALLED message though µtorrent's working fine.

I was too lazy to look, are you a seeder on the three torrents you are
connected to??

In case math isn't your thing, your ratio is growing. 3.60 is greater than 3.45.......

you want to be at least one, you're well above that seeding 3 times as much as you download

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!

This guy is the karma opposite of Vlad. I wish him nothing but the best.




We could put him in the Name & Shame thread just for yucks, though (kidding!)
