Re: Uhh, 97%?

said by Iridium3:

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.
