I was using bit torrent today and got a share rating of .0932. Has anyone gotten a better rating than that?

Are you serious that's the best you've gotten? A lot of people will ban for share ratings that low. I try to leave files open until they are past 2 for share rating.

with the advanced clents it shows it automatically. I don't want to get another violation fot keeping them open too long. I would keep it open longer if i knew what the requirments for a violation are.

Your share rating is just the ratio of the bytes downloaded to bytes uploaded. If you have like 100mb downloaded, and 9.3mb uploaded, that'd give you .0932 share ratio (9.3%). Also, it means you're a leecher.

if you use an experimental client such as THESHAD0W'S client it will tell you that automatically. I downloaded a 400 mb tv show and i had a share rating of about 1:1 when i closed it after i woke up in the morning.

I think you only get a violation if it's something that they report to UMR.

it's a pyramid system... you start downloading a file and as your downloading it your also uploading the same file to someone else as your downloading it. (Your sharing what you have)

Unlike Kazaa bit torrent requires you to upload something. There by having you give back to the group so there are no leeches like in Kazaa.

If you download, then your sharing and there is a unsaid rule is you always upload just as much as you download to keep the cycle going.


Just find a site that has bit torrent files and your set!

Ok, i just got into this bit torrent thing. I am running BitTornado. Only one problem. I got VERY slow downloads and uploads (ie 1 to 2kB/s). Ive been reading about this stuff and it seems that if you are behind a firewall you get slow speeds like the ones I am experiancing, something about how people cannot connect to you.

Now, I am not running any kind of firewall program, windows xp's firewall thing is turned off, and I am not using a router or anything, just straight ethernet from the wall. Most of the Peers under the Advanced window are "Local" opposed to "Remote" which I think is bad.

I was experimenting with the port range and I was finally able to download something fast (100-200kB/s). But I have not been able to repeat this with different torrent downloads, even when using the same port number.

Have any of you bit torrent guys experianced this and know a fix?

.

CIS has a built in firewall over the dorms. I know because I asked them about it after they put me behind one temporarily for downloading 13 gigs off of bit torrents in 9 hours. I've heard that the dorms have a hard time uploading more then 20 kbps. I'm not sure if that's true anymore, but I can easily get 1,900 kbps from my connection in the Greek Houses.

Bit torrent picks up a lot overnight with less people on the UMR internet connection. I've switched to mostly DC++ instead of bit torrents though. There's more stuff and the download rates are higher and far more consistant then the average bit torrent.

***Edit

I just ran a test, looks like I'm getting 600 kbps now for my upload.
