Score is used to determine the order of users in your waiting queue. Scores are equal to rating times time waited (in 100 second increments). Ratings include a variety of factors and the value shown does not include the modifier for file UL prorities. These are all the factors used to determine scores in the official client:
* Base rating 100 * File Priority: .....Release: x1.8 [before 27a was x5 and x3.5 for partial files] .....High: x0.9 [x2] .....Normal: x0.7 [x1] .....Low: x0.6 [x0.5] .....Very Low: x0.2 [x0.2] * UL/DL Modifier: x1.0 - x10.0; formula @Min( [UL*2/DL] , @sqrt[UL+2]); note: this skips some of the logic for UL or DL = 0 * Connected already: no modifier [through 26x it was x1.5] * Is Friend and Friendslot enabled: times a whole lot (basically they get the next slot that opens up) * LowID: no modifier [through 26x it was x0.8]
