    Not sure what platform and app you’re using but on qBittorent you can set it to run on windows startup.

    There’s also an option to prevent the system from going to sleep (could be why you only get +0.5 ratio during the night). This last setting you can actually set it to download and/or upload.

        Humm if it’s set to never sleep then yeah, it should work.

        Only option I see is that one. Slow connection so over 8h, you only get 0.5ratio.

        However, bear in mind that 0.5 ratio is a percentage so… 0.5 ratio on a 100GB torrent is still 50GB which isn’t bad at all. Plus it depends on how many leeches there are… If there’s no one to send to, ratio won’t go up anyways so it might not be “your fault” 🙂
