    Is a 2:1 ratio acceptable? I leave em running for a few weeks but usually the things i torrent become outdated very quickly so i dont get to seed much before all traffic stops on them.

      I’ve got some torrents that I’ve been seeding for months barely breaking 0.1 - for some that are in low demand and have some dedicated seeders with better internet connections than yourself, you will have to acceppt not being able to seed them properly, especially when they become outdated.

      Just do your best and aim for a good ratio above 1:1, but don’t beat yourself up if it won’t work out. 1:2 as a goal is fine, not everyone has to be a dedicated super-seeder (which would be impossble anyway).

      I know on some trackers, sufficient seeding time counts as a non-hit n run as much as a good ratio. A few weeks each is fine.

      Anything more than 1:1 is acceptable. But if in your particular area of interest that is impossible then ok. What else can you do?

      I’ve even heard people advise to not go too far above 1:1 because it means other people don’t get the opportunity to seed lol
