Was recovering an old virtual machine onto a new box and was shocked to see 9,999, I presume thats an upper limit in the UI. Dune (2021) for those curious

Now wheres my crossbones flag?

What's your upload amount? Ratio isn't vs the total size of the torrent, so this can happen if you remove a readd a torrent to the client for a file that's already in the hard drive. Say you download 1kb of a 1gb file, but then upload 10mb you can get some insane ratios.

Most unfortunately overall statistics aren't exported, the VM had been sitting active on a PC for a while before I turned it off for a few months and wiped it recently

I can say those top ratios were movies I had first acquired, and never had set a seed limit so I'm certain I've been seeding the entire file
