What is a good share ratio for BitTorrent?
Share ratio Final share ratios over 1.0 carry a positive connotation in the BitTorrent community, because they indicate that the user has sent more data to other users than they received.
How do you increase seed ratio?
The easiest way to increase your seeding ratio is by downloading smaller files and storing them on your seedbox. When you start seeding smaller-sized files, you increase the chances of seeders downloading your files.
What ratio should I seed?
There really isn’t any “optimal” ratio of seeds/peers. You could max out your download bandwidth from one single seed, regardless of how many peers or leechers there are. In general, the more seeds, the better, as this gives you more places to connect to to download the file.
How do I make BitTorrent seed faster?
The best methods are:
- Change to a faster ISP.
- Use a VPN with support for torrents.
- Choose the best BitTorrent client.
- Keep the client updated.
- Stick to healthy seeds and peers.
- Configure your firewall correctly.
- Upgrade your PC.
- Limit download speeds to help upload speeds.
Why am I not connecting to all seeds?
You haven’t allowed enough time for the connection to be made. It can take a few seconds to a few minutes for you to connect to a seed after you start downloading. It will probably take longer if you have a NAT problem or firewall problem.
Does seeding slow down Internet?
No seeding other files won’t increase your download speed. However, its good etiquette to seed. The more seeds you have for a file, the faster the download.
Is a 2 1 ratio good for torrents?
On a normal torrent anyone that goes over a 1:1 ratio is going to put someone else below a 1:1 ratio. Requiring or thinking a 2:1 ratio is good or needed is just stupid. Just stay on the torrent for a long time, i find that keeping old torrents alive is more important than caring about ratio.
Is a 2/1 ratio good or bad?
Requiring or thinking a 2:1 ratio is good or needed is just stupid. Sites that require over a 1 ratio have admins who don’t understand math (unless freeleach or whatever happens quite a bit)
Should I be worried about torrent seeding ratio?
Don’t worry too much about ratio, other than to make sure you’re complying with the rules of whatever site you’re on. In the absence of freeleech torrents, seeding is basically a zero-sum game. 1 MB of upload for you is 1 MB of download for someone else. It’s also a lost opportunity for someone else to upload 1 MB.
What’s the point of a 2 MB upload ratio?
It’s also a lost opportunity for someone else to upload 1 MB. This means that if you aim for a 2:1 ratio (or anything above 1:1) you’re dooming others to never go above 1:1. Again, freeleech torrents change this, which is why they’re so important on sites like what.cd that have strict ratio requirements.
