What is ratio?

A user's share ratio for any individual torrent is a number determined by dividing the amount of data that user has uploaded by the amount of data they have downloaded. Final share ratios over 1.0 carry a positive connotation in the BitTorrent community, because they indicate that the user has sent more data to other users than they received. Likewise, share ratios under 1 have negative connotation.

This means that if you download 1 GB you must upload 1 GB to maintain a 1.0 ratio. Your over all ratio is calculated by dividing the amount of GB's you up and downloaded. Our rules allow you to maintain a slightly lower ratio and still remain active. You can see your current ratio on the HOME page just under "Welcome, yourusername".

When could I risk getting auto disabled?

When your ratio drops below 0.4 you will get a warning in a Private Message here on the tracker that will tell you that you have 2 weeks to improve your ratio. If you fail to do so in 2 weeks your account will be auto disabled. To get your ratio up over the minimum allowed again during those 2 weeks you can upload new torrents, add seed on old torrents with leechers and of course donate. If your account gets disabled, do not try to create a new account, instead please use the "Reactivate disabled account" function.
