i'm using Azureus 2.4.0.2 and currently, these are my settings:
max upload speed - (manually set to x2 of the download speed)
max download speed - (manually set to half of the upload speed)
max upload slots per torrent - 6
max connections per torrent - 152
max connections globally - 253
prioritize first and last piece of file - enabled
further prioritize high priority files - enabled
max simultaneous downloads - 0
max simultaneous uploads - 0
i'm on a 3.0Mbps/768Kbps DSL line.
when i start downloading a new torrent, i max out the download speed. then, once i've downloaded 10% of that file, i manually set the download speed to 20 kB/s (for example) and the upload speed to twice of that - 40 kB/s (for example).
this way, i ALWAYS upload more than i download.
i'm just wondering if any of you guys have a better method of making sure that you're ALWAYS uploading more than downloading.
Once the file completes, it will "seed" until you tell it to stop, or until a rule is reached. W/ Azureus, that depends on how many torrents you've downloaded and what their ratio is.
You can leave it "Seeding" for hours, days, weeks, whatever after it has finished. Even if it's a bunch of .rar files, you can go ahead and extract and mount and it will continue seeding correctly.

on private trackers such as BitMe (for example), files that are older than, say, 3 days will almost always have few leechers and almost 10x seeders!
so, even if you leave it seeding for hours, days, weeks, etc. your ratio will only go up by a very small number (*IF* at all) which is why i tend to seed more than leech.
