What is my Ratio?
There is no Ratio system on KickAssTorrents. We do not record Download and Upload stats. It is useless at KickAssTorrents as we are a public site. But anyway, since so many people want to know... The Ratio is the amount that you have Uploaded divided by the amount you have Downloaded. (In general, you should try to keep this ratio > 1.)
This is very important on some sites. On some sites, if you don't upload enough, you will lose your downloading privileges. One of the many great things about KickAssTorrents is that there are no rules about ratios.

What are Achievements?
Achievements are our KickAss badges that you get for different activity.
For example for reaching some amount of reputation or for downloading a certain number of torrents.
You can check all achievements on the Achievements Page

Note:
- Unlocking achievements will not increase your reputation points.
- Abusing the system to gain or unlock achievements is considered as abuse and is not allowed.
- Some achievements are restricted to certain statuses (Mods, Staff, Translators..etc.) - KickAssTorrents will not show you the progress of your achievements, half the fun is NOT knowing, and this is to eliminate abuse.
- It is possible to disable achievements in the General Tab of your Profile Settings.

How do I speed up downloads?
Download speed depends on your internet package you get from your service provider and the user that you connect to in order to download the torrent. To get maximum download close programs that are using your bandwidth, look for torrents with plenty of seeds or upgrade your internet with your provider.
