Unsure about Seeding

02-06-2007, 05:21 PM

I'm very new to using any type of torrent program at all. After about 4 hours of messing around, i finally have azureus installed and forwarded properly (i hope) and also haven't downloaded anything yet. I noticed on the forums about getting banned for not having a 1.0 seed ratio. I checked my seed ratio and it is very very low. I am unsure how to go about seeding (am i even using this term correctly?) or raising my ratio. I'm a huge fan of the simoun series and i'd like to get this resolved as soon as possible to so i can get the last 3 episodes!

So i guess to make this easier for those with the knowledge to answer my questions i'll break it down a bit.

1. What is a seed exactly?
2. I'd like to know how to make my ratio 1.0 or higher.
3. Is there any way i can make my questions more specific?

1. A seed is someone who has a full copy downloaded of the torrent and is only uploading, not downloading.

2. Just leave azureus open and it will automatically connect to other peers and upload to them. The longer you leave it, the more you upload and the better your ratio will be.

3. Get a dictionary...? Dunno

We have never banned for having close to a 1:1 ratio. The people we were banning had ratios below 0.1, and deserved to be removed form the site. There is, however, no banning going on at the moment. Could change at any time though.
