Hi, as you know, seeding is a part of sharing torrents. In other words, a torrent without seeders is a dead one. I myself have a download speed of about 2.2 MBps (bytes not bits) and an upload speed of only 100 kBps (again bytes). I seed torrents to about 1:2 ratio (in cases when the torrent is not what i wanted i seed to 1:1 ratio), but with such a difference between up and down speed, i find myself seeding for days, torrents that i have downloaded in minutes. For quite some time i wanted to clean my computer, but since i still seed many Gigabytes of torrents (and many of them have enough seeders they don't even require seeding) i cannot. So, since torrents usually end up with much more seeders than leeches (at least while the interest is not down), i wonder whats the upload speed of you guys? Is it just me or is it a common politic to have such a big gap between download and upload speed?!

Some countries might give out a good speed package with ratios of 1:1 (like 50Mibps DL 50Mibps UL) but not most, in my case, Vodafone Portugal, it's 10:1 ratio, 60 Mibps DL (about 7MiBps) and 6Mibps UL (about 700KiBps). Of course in here there are other packages, but all ISPs tend to provide that 10:1 ratio on the speeds.
20Mibps DL/2Mibps UL
50Mibps DL/5Mibps UL
100Mibps DL/10Mibps UL
400Mibps DL/40Mibps UL
Oh, and in here I'm just mentioning FO speeds, not sure about the ADSL speeds, but probably the same method.

My ISP provides 100kbps upload speed no matter what package you take (e.g. 100 Mbps with 100 kbps or 10 Mbps with 100kbps). I use cable internet but this doesn't make much sense.

Afaik, you can divide your actual download speeds x 10 to get a true (lose term) of your speeds. I've got 250M/b connection. Now in reality. As i have "fibre to the kerb".
I've got 250+ supply. From the kerb to me is open to debate. On a good day i get 7-10M/b download speed and 1+ upload.
And, imo, speed tests use statistical input from ISP's rather than end to end real time statistics :/
As it's a non-poll-poll...,. I seed as best i can. I don't conform to any ratio list. When i've got speed and room. I seed 24/7 at high un-throttled speeds. When i'm on my own personal connection. I do my best.
But sharing what you can is what counts no matter of speeds, bandwidth, times, ratios etc

I live in a village in the UK.
Fibre to the kerb runs past my cottage by 3 feet but only goes to the school no one else can connect as yet education comes first so who am I to complain.
For the rest of us no superfast highway here not even satellite it all come down the phone wire on a good day 1m but average about 600kb/s d/l and 200kb/s u/l
Depending on how the threads moving I usually up too Ratio; 1 to 1.5
All this said and done it wasn't that long ago since we were on dial up and everyone was limited.
