I think KTorrent should auto ban anyone with a negative share ratio. If people are just leeching, I don't want to share with them and it's a pain in the **** to manually ban people with a negative 50 ratio.

It's absolutely wrong to ban people with -50 score!
This number only means that this specific user is not interested in your upload so KT won't give him an upload slot. Some of those peers are also superseeders so banning them won't help you at all.

Score is used by KT internally and should only be used for your notice, it can easily be misunderstood as in this case.

Ahh I thought it meant that they weren't sharing because they never seem to be uploading.

Edit: On a side note, I always get low speeds (no router or firewall) with a ton of peers. They never seem to be sharing either. I had one user give me great speeds once but once I got their chunk, that was it. Never seen them again. It almost feels like a waste to have a high speed connection and not be able to make full use of it

What version are you using? I routinely max my 10mbps download from tvtorrents.

The latest release should be plenty fast. The SVN version is as well.

2.1 it doesnt say if it's 2.1.1 but I think it is

If it's 2.1.1, it will say 2.1.1

Well I guess it isn't then

Probably. I suggest you update to 2.1.1

I guess I'll have to do it manually then because this is the latest in Edgy's repos

Im using 2.1.2 now on Feisty with no difference.

Keep in mind that, by far, most Internet users cannot upload as fast as they can download. If you're one of the lucky ones who can, please don't look down upon those who aren't so lucky and desire to punish them. I always seed to a 1:1 ratio, but it often takes a long time to get there.
