Title: Re: Torrent help Post by: Ironside on March 31, 2007, 03:49:15 AM keep seeding untill you have seeded to a ratio of 1:1.1
you proberly havent got the right codec to watch the file if you search teh forum for vlc you should find a progam that will play just about any video file Title: Re: Torrent help Post by: Ironside on March 31, 2007, 03:49:47 AM no you can watch while it uploads
Title: Re: Torrent help Post by: BigTomatoes on March 31, 2007, 03:53:50 AM ratio says 0.007 is that good / bad ??? Title: Re: Torrent help Post by: Ironside on March 31, 2007, 03:58:29 AM very bad
keep seeding untill it goes up otherwise you might find that you wont be able to use the tracker in future always try to get atleast a 1:1 ratio 1:1.1 prefered but dont worry if your new to torrents you will get a little bit of download leeway but not a huge amount Title: Re: Torrent help Post by: BigTomatoes on March 31, 2007, 04:02:00 AM its playing on vlc , cheers mate , youve made a bored nightshift man happy Title: Re: Torrent help Post by: BigTomatoes on March 31, 2007, 05:12:02 AM this torrent thingy is slowing my laptop right down , is this normal ? can i fix it ?? Title: Re: Torrent help Post by: CelticGeezeer on March 31, 2007, 10:03:39 AM If you reduce your upload speed your pc should run faster.
Title: Re: Torrent help Post by: Royal Flush on March 31, 2007, 01:04:00 PM It's impossible to get old files to 1:1 so just kill the upload.
Title: Re: Torrent help Post by: mex on March 31, 2007, 09:11:32 PM no need to seed these days, most trackers are so open.
Title: Re: Torrent help Post by: BigTomatoes on April 01, 2007, 09:17:35 AM thanks for the info , just started using the torrent again because the last time i couldnt bear how slow my computer run with it. cheers |
