Default noob question

this may be in a FAQ somewhere, but I couldn't find it...

how much should I be seeding after I've downloaded an episode? I've been letting it go to about 1.2 or so, is that enough to not be a complete leech? images/smilies/wacko.gif

well in theory there is no set amount, its what ever you feel like seeding, ill seed a torrent for about an hour after i DL it, but thats like a 100-1 ratio for me casue i seed at like 1.4MB/s, i usually recommend a 1-1 ratio, but more is always appreciated.

What you've been seeding is great astroboymoto, and as Get3n said 1:1 is recommended, just cause you gave back what you took. images/smilies/smile.gif

I have been seeding 2005-04-04 for 2731.7% so far and 2005-04-11 for 1663.8% so far. I just let it seed for a week or two so everybody can get it fast. All the other ones I DL are around 1000% and still going. Hope that helps.

No problem glad I can do it. Its great to have a site like this to DL these great shows from. They are not on TV in Canada where I live so I would not be able to get them any other way. Great site. I think you should make people log in to DL the vids and keep track of their stats so we can make sure people are seeding like they should. This is probly the wrong post to put that in but just my thought.

Wow. I always forget about P.E.I., New Brunswick, and Newfoundland. And I can never name the western provinces in the right order.

British Columbia -> Saskatchewan -> Alberta -> Manitoba -> Ontario -> Quebec

Am I right?! images/smilies/biggrin.gif

And with the new version of pHp arriving, he'll only need to blink an eye in a certain way. Imagine the consequences if it has a bug in it, though.
