The UL/DL Ratios page allows you to set up rules requiring X number of uploads for each Y number of downloads. These ratios can be by number of files, or by bytes. Also, these ratios can be set per session, or over multiple sessions.

For example, if you want a user to get 1 byte of download for every byte they upload, the ratio is set to 1/1; 1 byte upload for 2 bytes to download makes a ratio of 1/2. If they upload a file of 100 bytes at a ratio set to 1/2, they will have 200 bytes for credit but only 50 bytes if the ratio is set to 2/1.
