Okay, there was a topic here yesterday telling how to seed.. now I can't find it! I don't remember th poster but Barb (Your Valentine) replied I think.
I'm using TorrentStorm.. file finished, says I'm sharing now.. do I need to do something else to be a seeder?
Nope.
Usually you can set your program to seed until your upload/download hits a certain ratio, ie 100%, 150%, 200%, etc., then it will stop on its own.
Okay, thanks. It must have done it automatically because now it says seeding rather than sharing.
We have 46 seeds on this according to the last scrape. And only 4 downloaders now? Come on people! :-P
What the hell was I doing there? :-P
So what's the protocol for how long one should seed? Right now I'm one of 28 seeds and there's 9 downloaders. Not that I'm trying to get away early or anything, but I do seem to freeze up a lot. I tried going from 'unlimited' to maximum of 10k but I still froze.
"So what's the protocol for how long one should seed?"
At least 100% ratio (which I know you've already done, I was at 333% last night myself). With normal torrents where people jump on at different times, I typically set my ratio at 150% and that keeps me around for a week or so to spread the love. This torrent had such a large initial rush of downloaders, I think that if people don't jump on soon, they'll miss out.
great...any chance of holding on a few days longer
i'm 63% there (with earls court)- thanks
am happy to keep online for anyone else after completed
cheers
