It's all about sharing. Generally you want to keep your share ratio above 0.8, meaning you upload 80% as much as you download. Any less than that and the tracker will begin to shun you. I personally keep mine above 1. That means allow a reasonable amount of upload bandwidth, and a reasonable amount of upload slots. Set it up to seed files after you are done downloading and to stop seeding when the ratio on that file hits a certain point (mine is at 1.5) Also, turn it on before you go to bed even if you're not downloading. > > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Nick Wiltshire <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: CLUG General <[email protected]> > Sent: Thursday, July 5, 2007 9:36:14 PM > Subject: Re: [clug-talk] Bittorrent on Shaw - cleartext vs encrypted > > On Thursday 05 July 2007 21:13, John E Jardine wrote: > > Hmmm.... playing with DL the CD images for Slackware12 and I my BT had > > slowed to a crawl (a crawl is between 0B/s and 2KB/s).
