hi, i just registered as a member at datorrents (the website and the forums), and i'm a little confused about something. you see, i just recently got into this BitTorrent stuff, and I also just recently figured/found out that I should seed stuff that i leech..

and before i ever registered on this site, i leeched something off of it.. i mean i was uploading at the same time i was downloading, except i was downloading at a much faster rate of course. and i did this w/o realizing what the heck "seeding" and "leeching" meant, and that I should should seed more after i finish leeching.

and you see, i'm still a little new to this, and I don't want to be banned or anything (even though i wasn't a user at the time i leeched, i figured my ip number would just get me banned anyway).

So, i wanted to make up for my leeching by seeding more of the thing i downloaded, except under my profile at the regular datorrents site it doesn't state how it doesn't state how much i've downloaded or uploaded.. i actually know how much i've downloaded from this site, because i've only downloaded one torrent and i know how big it is.. except i don't know how much i've uploaded, and i want to upload the correct amount, since i've already uploaded some.

so can anybody explain how i should go about this?
does this clear profile mean that somehow my status about how i had downloaded and uploaded from this site has magically erased? or, can an administrator give me the amounts?

and btw, just a general question, but what is the required ratio here after leeching?


thank you if you can help me!!
