On a clean installation, I have two torrents:
* 482 MB, uploaded 425 MB, ratio 0.88
* 2.05 GB, uploaded 182 MB, ratio 0.26
But the overall ratio at the top of the window says 0.87. This is clearly wrong! I have uploaded a total of approximately 600 MB of 2.5 GB, so the ratio should be more like 0.25.
ratio calculation incorrect
Re: ratio calculation incorrect
All of it. We are seeding now. Sorry if I didn't make that clear.
I've attached a screen shot.

Re: ratio calculation incorrect
I think the problem is that we started with a partially downloaded torrent. So Transmission is failing to take into account that this partial download must have come from somewhere, i.e. we must have downloaded it. Looking at the second torrent in the screen shot, we read:
2.05 GB, uploaded 182 MB (Ratio 0.26).
But 182 MB is not .26 of 2.05 GB. It is .26 of 700MB. I think this is the source of the difficulty. Transmission is failing to "charge" me for 1.3GB of this torrent.
At present my status on that torrent reads:
2.05 GB, uploaded 2.03 GB (Ratio: 2.92)
But clearly that ratio should be more like 1.

Re: ratio calculation incorrect
I think that it's actually intentional that the ratio is based on what Transmission knows that you have downloaded and not the size of it, since it's not guarantied that the rest (the part Transmission doesn't know about) was downloaded via that torrent and if it isn't it shouldn't be counted towards the ratio imho.
