On uTorrent, your ratio is the number of complete copies you have seeded.
Logical argument follows:

Either you're wrong, or you're talking about something else. Basing a BitTorrent "share ratio" on complete copies uploaded doesn't make any sense.

A counter-example to your claim:
You can download .20 of a file, and have a share ratio of 1.50 . Then if you stop uploading, but continue downloading until .40, you will have a share ratio of .75 .

If you decide to disagree for some crazy reason, please bring some kind of supporting evidence.

But I'm not surprised to hear this, I expect this sort of non-sense logic from someone intending to switch to MacOS. (haha, just kidding, had to say it, don't beat me up!)

OK based on how I seed, since every time I have been on a file, I never have seeded a 1:1 ratio with a partial file. I suppose it happens, but never to me. I always upload and download complete copies.

What is the likely hood that Person number 4 downloads his ENTIRE movie from my seed? He's not! He's going to download a tiny bit from me, and a bit from the other 48 people in the swarm.

Ok lets say theres a rare torrent with only 3 people in the swarm. So say user 1 sends me 1/4 of the file, user 2 sends me 1/2 of the file (since he's a little faster), and I get the rest from user 3. Still I haven't obtained the entire file from one user. How would anyone be held liable for copyright infringement when they don't ever upload the whole file? Without the whole file the movie or music or whatever it is, would be unrecognizable.

The only time I've seen where someone could be legally liable for copyright infringement is if its SO RARE that there is only 1 seeder, its a small file, and I am the only person joining the swarm. In that case say I download the entire file from the seeder, since there are no other participating users. This is a RARE case in movies and music.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Uhh-97-18166910 Fri, 13 Apr 2007 19:17:12 EDT Re: Uhh, 97%? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Uhh-97-18166268 said by Iridium:

Exactly, they are just as liable as people being sued by the RIAA or MPAA for using Bit Torrent. When you use bit torrent you are only sharing certain parts. Unless you keep seeding for over a month, it's highly doubtful that you supplied the ENTIRE file to an individual.

You can't fight fire with fire.
That's pretty inaccurate. I have seeded 100% copies of a movie several times over. On uTorrent, your ratio is the number of complete copies you have seeded.

Nice going. You're trying to hinder downloading but uploading everything but the credits to the people who made the film in the first place.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Uhh-97-18164200 Fri, 13 Apr 2007 10:38:10 EDT Re: Uhh, 97%? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Uhh-97-18164179
