The Importance of Seeding

Why Seeding is Important

Seeding is basically a way that you can share your video with others while you download. Whenever you download anything from this site, the download is only possible because other people halfway across the world are seeding.

That’s why we need you to seed as you download. If you don’t seed, the next person after you will find it a little bit harder to download their video, and for each person that does not seed, it gets that much harder to download a video.

The more people seed, the easier downloading will be for everyone, and therefore everyone = happier.

How to Seed – Downloading and Uploading

Seeding is easy. You don’t have to do anything except not delete your download after it is done. Once it reaches 100%, the status box will automatically change from “Downloading” to “Seeding”. The longer you keep it seeding, the easier it will be for others to download.

Keep in mind, though, that seeding is most productive as you download, because it is then easiest to pass on data. This is where download and upload speeds come in.

Downloading represents what you are taking for yourself to your own computer.
Uploading represents what you are passing on to others.

It is a good idea to have your video upload to others as it downloads at the same time. Note here how the video for Bible Black is downloading and uploading at the same time.

You’ll want to make sure that your upload speed is turned all the way up and not limited. To do this,
1. Minimize uTorrent so it is in the right toolbar.
2. Right click on it and hover over Upload Limit
3. Click on unlimited.
Like so:

You can also use this to change the download limit to whatever suits you. Some people find their browser becomes erratic if the limits are set over 50kb/s, so if this is a problem you should limit it when you’re using the Internet. When you’re not using Internet, unlimit them, which is fastest.

Download/Upload ratios

Almost there, you should be downloading in no time. One last thing.

The easiest way to tell how much you’re downloading vs. how much you’re uploading/seeding, is by download/upload ratios, as shown:

If it is less than 1: you’ve downloaded more than you’ve uploaded
If it is more than 1: you’ve uploaded more.

The goal would be to upload as much as you download, so if you get this ratio to 1 once you’ve finished downloading, you’re all clear, and you can remove it. Some people like to make their ratios 2:1 or 3:1, but the minimum amount you should have is 1:1.

And that’s about it. All you have to do is seed for other people as you download what other people seed for you. It’s not too hard at all. It’s a good system, everything we get here is for free. We take from each other and then we give to someone else new, it’s just that more people have to get that mindset of giving and taking, instead of just taking. The more people who give, the better and easier it’s going to be for everyone to download.

In the end, not just you but everyone is going to profit from it.
