Got mark's monumental effort downloaded in no time at all.
Gonna spend weeks seeding it now to get my ratio back up :-)
Cheers guys,

I think Ive seeded but can you explain that ratio again?

A bitTorrent ratio is the amount of data uploaded to the amount downloaded. If I download a 1000 megabyte show, and upload 500 megabytes of it, I will have a ratio of 0.5 (500/1000).

The tracker has a minimum share ratio of 0.5, meaning if you want to continue using it, you have to upload at least half of what you download. It keeps the community going, and ensures that people aren't only downloading shows then stopping (leeching), leaving a few to constantly upload for everybody else.
