Download ratios:

When your download reaches 13 gig, your share ratio must be .4 or your torrent account will be banned until you share more. This will be checked all the time, so don't let your account dip below .4 after you acquire over 13 gig.

If your torrent account was banned just share your last few torrents and raise your share ratio. The system will update your ratios all the time and unban our account automatically when the ratio is up to the required rules.

What if you deleted those torrents?

You'll have to upload your way out of it. You can upload a torrent and that will raise your upload stats back into good standing.

If you torrent account was banned and you sign up for another Kornspace account to try and get past the system. All of your Kornspace accounts, email addresses and entire IP range will be blocked so play nice and be cool.

Tips

Once the transfer is complete, leave your Torrent client software running for at least two hours. This is called "seeding" or "good karma", where you share your complete files to other users.
Suggestion: do your downloads just before you go to sleep at night. This way, you will seed your complete files, you will increase your upload/download ratio, and you will have complete downloaded files by the time you wake up!
