Bug Description
The situation: I add a torrent which I never downloaded in qbittorrent and I want to seed it.
1. The torrent adds. Checks itself => 100%. And it moves to the "Finished" tab.
2. The ratio of this torrent is set to 1.0. I suppose it is wrong, because i did not even start seeding. So the starting ration should be 0.0 or it should be calculated of the whole size of torrent not of downloaded megabytes.
3. When seeding begins - the ratio skips to 10.0 - this is really wrong. It should be calculated as [Uploaded]/[Size of torrent]
4. As i see 10.0 is the max ratio which is reachable in qbittorrent. This is wrong. I have a lot of torrents in "other clients" which share ratios are up to 20.
So. this is it.
Thank you.

ratio = [Uploaded]/[Size of torrent] ?
What are your sources? I rechecked on the web, just to be sure and it seems that other main torrent clients use:
ratio = [Uploaded / Downloaded]
I do agree that I should not limit to 10 and I will fix this in v1.3.1.
According to my sources (utorrent for example), if you add a complete torrent to the list, its ratio should be "infinity". I will also fix this.
