    Default Question about ratios

    Hi,

    I'm trying to put together my introduction but I had one question before I apply.
    What is a good ratio on the upload/download stat?
    Mine is at
    up 33.1 GB
    Down 95.5 GB

    Is this good? or should I seed some more?

    Note that I did receive an email from the ESA on the 24th about the skidrow Civ5 torrent on TPB.

    Suggestions?

    A good ratio is usually 1+, everything under that is considered bad.
    Most trackers have a minimum ratio which lays usually between 0.3 and 6.0 (You need to have a certain ratio or you will be banned and you, most of the time, need a better ratio for a certain userclass).
    With this kind of ratio you would have been banned from most private trackers (an exception are obviously ratioless trackers, but they require you to seed a torrent for a specific amount of time).

    The evidence for lawsuits because of pirating isn't based on the amount you upload, but that you are connected at all. That's the big problem with these technologies, because it doesn't matter if you don't upload/download at all or several TBs.
    To avoid getting caught you should use very private trackers; a self configured, logless VPN; a seedbox which is only accessed via the VPN and preferable logless as well. (A more explicit explanation would scope the length of this reply)


    EDIT: I probably got the question wrong as I was talking about ratios on trackers and not on T-I. T-I doesn't have a ratio requirement.

    Hi Elkenfugel,

    Please go ahead and do your intro, with your current stats. There are no ratio requirements here at T-I. So do not feel you have to improve your numbers before joining us.

    As the previous poster said, joining private trackers is one of the most effective way to avoid getting any more nasty letters, and if you are looking to join the seedy underworld of private trackers you have come to the right place.

    We don't care about ratio's when you're only trying to make an introduction. Just follow the introduction tutorial and you will be accepted. Once you're in and you try to get invites, we will most likely want to see your tracker ratio's, not your BitTorrent client ratio's.

    Stop using TPB.

    So, welcome to T-I. Make an intro, read the rules, and see ya 'round the site.

    Regarding the upload, the reason you have a low ratio is because most of the time the upload speed is 1/10 of your download, hope this helps.
