We’ll probably need to keep seeding this file for several hours for there to have been enough people to download data from us to turn the share ratio to 1.0. In our example, despite having seeded the torrent for 88 minutes, we’ve only uploaded 8.6% of the amount of data we downloaded.

In uTorrent, you’ll find the share ratio of each of your files in the Info tab. You don’t have to wait until the file has finished downloading to share it with others.īeyond meeting private tracker ratio limits, it helps the health of torrent after you’ve downloaded its contents, allowing you to “pay it forward”. That’s why BitTorrent is so popular you can start sharing a file by only having one chunk of it. Since BitTorrent breaks up and dispense files in a lot of small parts, you can share the files even if it hasn’t finished downloading. This is going to spread the upload capacity over a lot of connections, and this will certainly slow down your torrent. The only thing that this is going to do is it will start all the torrents that are accessible in the queue.
