On the member details page grid - there is a line called "ratio" what is that for? why do I have a sad face next to mine?
 
The Ratio is your Upload:Download so in your Case it's 47.80GB:174.55GB. The Ratio is done by Upload divided by download. So Mathematically you have only shared (uploaded) only 0.2738470352334575% of what you have downloaded.
 
Fortunately nobody cares about that here. Some of the best uploaders have rubbish ratios. If you download a large file and upload dozens of smaller files your ratio will be rotten. Mine's around the 1.8, I think and a lot of that is on behalf of other people (including yourself when you had upload problems).
Some sites will ban you from downloading (or ban you altogether) if you don't keep up a certain ratio. I think it's here because of the software used.
