What changes ratio system. Basically the more torrents and longer time you seed you're safer. More snatches without seed and you're worse.
WhatMan:This system does not alter your ratio. It alters the ratio we require you to maintain for you to keep your account on the site. You must keep your ratio above your required ratio at all times. Therefore, you want a high ratio and a low required ratio. Both your ratio and required ratio will change depending on your behavior on the site.
Uploading makes your ratio go up (good). Downloading makes it go down, which is generally fine so long as your ratio isn't very close to the required ratio. The system was built to reward people who download things (and keep them seeded).
Seeding makes your required ratio go down (good). Downloading makes it go up. Not seeding something you've downloaded makes it go up dramatically (bad), as the percentage of your snatches which you are still seeding is directly factored into your requiredratio.
Therefore, seeding and uploading are good for keeping your ratio above your required ratio. Not seeding things you've downloaded is very bad for keeping your ratio above your required ratio. Downloading is also bad for it, and if your ratio and required ratio are getting dangerously close together, you should stop downloading and concentrate on seeding your snatches instead.
Code:let SE = number of torrents seeded let HS = number of hours seeded (SE*HS = SeedHours) let GE = good enough let SN = number of torrents snatched Formula: (SE*HS)/GE SE*HS ---------- = ------ SN SN*GE
