This may be true, but on my network it takes less than 5 minutes to download a 2GB file and 20 minutes to have 200% upload. I usually stop uploading after that.

- redwall_hp 13y agoAnd some people have networks where constantly seeding an entire thing—be it a movie or a Linux distro—is not feasible. When you have 3mbps down/1mbps up DSL, it's going to saturate your upload if you leave it unchecked, and still have a very negative impact even if you throttle.
- spoiler 13y agoIn most countries, your average Internet consumer can't achieve the speeds you described, though. Also, the download-to-upload rate is significantly higher. For example, my peak download speed is 5Mbits while the upload speed peaks at 0.6Mbits. That's on one of the more expensive packages, too.
- gugol 13y agoThat's ok, as long as you seed for enough time until you have at least 1:1 ratio which is what the developers should worry about: how do you keep seeding even if the movie is over?
- mrtree 13y agoExactly, people seem to forget the usage patterns.
