Was recovering an old virtual machine onto a new box and was shocked to see 9,999, I presume thats an upper limit in the UI. Dune (2021) for those curious

Now wheres my crossbones flag?

Maybe like twenty years ago my Demonoid account had a glitch where it showed my download as a few bytes, regardless of how much I was actually downloading. The number definitely should have been way way higher. Every time I would log on the digits for my ratio would run off the side of the screen.

When I was able to seed relentlessly, I aimed for 3.0. Typically, popular things got into the tens or twenties, while rare stuff would get lucky to cross the 1.0 threshold.

Thieves and beggars, never shall we die and all that.

When I downloaded The Last Of Us it would shoot to 4-5 and get stuck there. Meanwhile, I downloaded Madagascar on a random Monday and a week or so later that thing is at 36.0.

It's totally random.

That's almost certainly a partial cross seed, but if it isn't, that's one hell of an accomplishment.

What's your upload amount? Ratio isn't vs the total size of the torrent, so this can happen if you remove a readd a torrent to the client for a file that's already in the hard drive. Say you download 1kb of a 1gb file, but then upload 10mb you can get some insane ratios.

Most unfortunately overall statistics aren't exported, the VM had been sitting active on a PC for a while before I turned it off for a few months and wiped it recently

I can say those top ratios were movies I had first acquired, and never had set a seed limit so I'm certain I've been seeding the entire file

I think you're doing my part too

Insane, my highest is around 100 ratio.

There's honor amoung thieves and you have most of it.
