Help! : Terrible Upload Speeds on TL

[AstonishingMonkey]

Hey all,
I have been using ilovetorrents for a long time and always upload around 80Kb/s. I just got invited to TL and I am connected to 36 leechers for the file I am seeding and am only uploading at about 3Kb/s. How can this be. I have tried multiple files and always get the same result.

As i've said before in other threads:

The problem with TL is that most torrents have few leechers and many many seeders. What this means: The total amount of available bandwidth to the leechers is much higher then the total download bandwidth of the few leechers around. This means that only a few seeders will be uploading, or, each seeder will only be uploading at a few kb/s.

Tip, find an older torrent file that has limited seeders and a few leechers. I chose star trek, TNG xvid rips. There were 4 seeders when I started, and 4-6 leechers. This way, the available bandwidth from the seeders was more in tune with the demand from the leechers.

This did wonders for my ratio there, I suggest this for anyone struggling with their ratio at TL.
