I'm not sure if a guide has been posted before but i thought i would share this to help out people that are new to private trackers and are wondering if they need a seedbox or not. I am personally looking for one myself at the moment,whilst looking i came across some useful information that i thought i would share, i came across this list which will hopefully help.
I probably don’t have to tell you that maintaining a good sharing ratio on your private trackers is crucial to keeping the account. Period. However, no tracker is alike - I would like to break this down a little further and delve into the seeding secrets behind individual trackers.
The "i need a seedbox" myth:
While a seedbox can (and will) greatly improve your ratio at a much faster rate than seeding through a home connection, especially for 0Day sites, it isn’t necessary for most trackers. While the fact remains that many trackers comprise of members that use RSS feeds hooked up to a powerful seedbox, or, IRC feeds that run straight from the #announce channel, there are many clever options to circumvent this with a home BitTorrent client. You’ll probably not hit a 1:1 ratio in uTorrent within the first 24 hours - patience is the key. Looking below, the Seedbox required? is not mandatory.

Trackers with No Ratio:
You’ll simply need to seed from anywhere between 48-72 hours to stay in the good graces of these ratio-free trackers (although good members tend to seed much longer):
* FtN
* GFT
* iFi
* iTS
* PtN
I understand this is not a full list of all the private trackers,just the popular ones.
Hope the list helps.
THIS IS JUST A GUIDE!!!
