Good ratio for a "leech"

We do?!!? By the way I personally try to seed until a ratio of 2.0.

This is a good idea and there is a way to approximate this via the API. How do you decide what the threshold is without sounding too arbitrary. How does one justify 30 or 50?

Good to know, that’s one of the options in the app now :slight_smile:.

Good question! I like user configuration for something like this. I bet I have some leeches that are ridiculously high (over 100) and it would be nice to squash them first.

The other problem I see is that if a kanji is burned and resurrected, the count might not be reset. This should probably be verified. I know that WK knows a resurrected kanji has been in the system before because there is an option to retire, so it wouldn’t surprise me if the count were retained.

WK offers level reset, I wish things could be a bit more granular than that - such as resetting individual kanji and vocab into the lesson queue. I’d like to reset leeches outright and start fresh with them and maybe even do the same with supporting kanji. I’ve been resurrecting kanji very aggressively recently since I’ve had problems with retention of items I burned 2 years ago.

As you say, my bigger concern was about what happens with unburned items.
Further, I really dislike user customization of this type in a mobile app, I much prefer giving five options to choose from.
Could you give the app a try please? I’d like your feedback.

I’ll try sometime this weekend - hopefully I can get this loaded onto my Kindle fire (It’s a walled garden, but there are ways to get most other android apps loaded). I should be a good candidate for testing since I’ve got a metric crapload of leeches built up at a relatively high level and I progress probably slower than average for someone who has actually reached a level in the 50s without giving up. Plus I have a background in software development.

@lsh3rd, any luck? :smiley:

Sorry, I hadn’t had a chance to look at it yet, but I hadn’t forgotten.

So far the Kindle gives a “Parse Error - There is a problem parsing this package.” I also have “Allow Installation of Applications” set to “On”, which is the usual problem when dealing with this error.

I’m using a side-loaded “1Mobile Market” to try and install. I tried downloading the file directly with the Kindle as well as side-loading it via USB with no luck. Other apps have installed just fine this way, but I have had problems with this in the past. I can’t recall if I gave up or came up with an alternate way that worked.

I also tried “Easy Installer”, but it doesn’t even see the package file.

Any ideas?

I suspect this is because android phones have no problem running debug-signed packages, whereas the Kindle probably requires an officially signed one. Since I wasn’t intending on publishing on the store just yet, I haven’t gotten round to signing it :sweat_smile:.

Yep, I was hoping that the “alllow installation of applications” would take care of allowing things to be unsigned, but I suspect you are right. I deal with issues surrounding firmware signing with my full time job, so the topic is familiar. I don’t know anything WRT Android and the Kindle, though. I’ll search this down to see if there is any way around it.
