Improve Your Ratio

[J.Stash]

New member:

As a new member of a site, do not start with downloading DVDR/Blueray/PC ISO, if you do that your ratio will suffer alot. Start with smaller torrents until you have some Upload to rely on. Do not download a file because it has many leechers, there can be users who is only seeding/leeching a small part of this torrent, so if you download the whole torrent your ratio will suffer big.

You can't start with downloading torrents that you want, start with popular torrents that can help you with your ratio, when you have a good ratio you can start downloading what you want.

Freeleech:

Freelech means that your download doesn't count, only your upload. Freelech does not exist on every tracker, but if you see a new freeleech torrent, be quick to download it because many other people will and that makes you get alot of upload.

P0rn00:

XXX movies or pictures etc is always a great way to improve your ratio, it doesn't matter which tracker you are on, XXX is always popular because there's many horny people out there, and many people download it just to improve their ratio.

Waiting time/Outside seeding:

If you are a new member on a site like Torrentleech you will get a waiting time for new torrents, that means you can only download torrents that are old on the tracker. It is hard to seed an old torrent because most of them has like 1000 seeders and only 3 leechers. If this happens to you, then outside seeding is a good idea, outside seeding means that you download the same file but on another tracker, for example: If you see that Avatar.DVDR.2009. has been added recently to the tracker, then try finding the same torrent on another tracker, download the torrent from there and then when you are done, download the same torrent from the tracker that you have a waiting time on, your torrent-client will recognize the file and start uploading immideately.

Parts of the torrent:

If you see a torrent that you know is popular, try downloading just a few MB of it, like just a few RAR parts of a movie, that will make you get alot of upload when you have just downloaded som MBs. WARNING: Every tracker does not allow this so read the FAQ and rules before doing this.

Your torrent client:

It's important to put the right preferences for your client. You can for example change your speed settings.

1. Lower your download speed, this way makes you be in the "Swarm" for a longer time and you get more attractive to transfer data from.

2. Have your download speed on highest possible. That makes you download the torrent faster and after that you can share the torrent with others, if you do this you will probably be done before everyone else and be one of the firsts to upload.

Donate/Bonus:

If it is an emergency you can always donate to the tracker, it use to be something like 10$ = 10 GB upload. 20$ = 20 GB upload and so on..

Most trackers has started with something called bonus points, if you seed a torrent you will get points that you can later buy upload from. For example Bit-HDTV, if you are seeding a torrent you will get 1 bonus point per hour, so if you seed for 1000 hours you will get 1000 points. (If you have donated you will get 2 points per hour). And then you can buy things like 10 GB upload for it (Costs 1250 points) or 20 GB upload (2000 points).

RSS:

RSS is a good way if you want to get to torrents as fast as possible. You can put your RSS on the tracker on something special like LOST episodes, when someone uploads a lost episode your torrent-client will immedeately download it and you will be able to seed it fast. This is a good way if your not by the computer so often and wants every torrent of something, like Lost. The most trackers has RSS and there use to be some good guides if you press the RSS or FAQ button on the trackers web-page. If you still want some more information you can try contacting staff, but remember to write that you have looked in rules, FAQ and the forum, because if you don't they will probably ignore your message.

I hope this guide will be to any use for someone, have a good day everyone :)

[Guest SnuKiEroi]

interesting info... but I had different advice given ...

"New member:

As a new member of a site, do not start with downloading DVDR/Blueray/PC ISO, if you do that your ratio will suffer alot. Start with smaller torrents until you have some Upload to rely on. Do not download a file because it has many leechers, there can be users who is only seeding/leeching a small part of this torrent, so if you download the whole torrent your ratio will suffer big."

I was told that one thing a lot of people do is tend to avoid the bigger files, but they are actually better for getting your ratio into higher numbers, especially due to the fact that they are bigger files.... small files tend not to make 'much' of a big difference to ones ratio

Freeleech: always good and essential for getting your karma points/ ratio sorted and healthy

Parts of the torrent: I have done this with bigger files and had more success, it really does help with ratios.

[Guest agentFBI]

[Guest srb]

[Guest Stefan]

Thanks, these are all really great tips. Dont forget to get a seedbox or a faster connection ;)

[Guest Ironlion]

I've found that the best way to improve my ratio is to Pick the biggest file, and make sure to choke download to very slow.

Let me put it this way: as long as a file continues to have peers, you will be able to seed, right?

So monitor your download, and choke the d/l bandwidth so that it is ALWAYS slower than your upload rate. Doing this will ensure that you will create a positive ratio.

The absolute best way to get a ratio up is to upload something new (that people will actually want to download) though. Add something that people will want. package it properly, with a proper .nfo and .sfv, and give it a good and detailed description on the tracker website. Doing this will ensure that a few people take it. Also, if you upload games, people will often download right away just in order to seed because they KNOW that its going to get plenty of hits and they want their share of the upload credit.

I've been doing quite well using those two techniques I mentioned, and I'm pretty new myself ^^

[Guest kaliya]

this is the best tutorial ever. I am pretty new to this private tracking thing...very helpful indeed!

[Guest kiko797]

Nice post, and great tutorial thanks. ;)

[Guest Labello]

"You can't start with downloading torrents that you want..." And so you are in a beautiful,amazing private torrent tracker but you can't download what you want and you should fill your hd with useless stuff, but you are so cool because you are a member of a private tracker and perhaps impossible to access for "normal" people! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

I'm joking, EXCELLENT post. ;)
