From your questions I doubt torrentleech is right for you, they can be quite particular and if you get banned they're not very forgiving.
As for the answers:
It's visible in the list of your currently seeding torrents visible from your profile.
yes
they really don't care about your situation. But they don't consider a torrent abandoned by you until it hasn't been seeded by you for 24 hours, though they prefer if you can be online 24/7.
they mean the actual torrent file, if that is shared then the whole point of private trackers fail. Big part why all private trackers use codes linked to your profile such that they can easily track if you violate the rule. Also needed to actually ban someone from downloading torrents you already have. As for how stuff ends up there it's generally someone sharing it directly from Usenet to the public trackers.
10 days seed time with max 23 hours "break". Last I checked.
there are activity rules for new accounts. So make sure you download something at least monthly.
a lot of options but mainly high quality stuff. Not everything is available in the below 2 GB for a movie range. And very little in the 700 mb for a movie range. Better use a public trackers for that.
Bonus. Keep in mind that even if you seed each torrent for 100+ days each you still need a positive ratio. And ratio is hard to build on Torrentleech since so many have blazing fast upload speeds. One "trick" I've done is download a popular release from a public tracker, delete the torrent, point the torrentleech torrent to the same directory and it will think you've already downloaded it giving you no download and going directly to seeding. Just be very sure to not "merge" the torrents because that will get you banned.
so will like me coming back to my computer after that 23 hour mark the torrent will not be seeding for exemple I download inception and for get about it existing after a month I got in a 2 day vacation the torrent will not be seeding after that vacation and yeah that's a weired system
and if torretleech isn't for me and I am surely not gonna get that seedbox you guys are talking about since it's so expensive in my country and I don't have a gb internet connection lol it's 2 mbytes maximum lol then what are the other private torrents that I got a chance with
basically I want a private torrent that I can live in as a person with no seedbox
Dude, you’ll be fine on Torrentleech. If you don’t seed for a few days it’s fine, it’ll resume counting how long you’ve seeded for once you turn the pc back on.
As for ratio, just download the freeleech torrents until you have enough upload to spare. Most large torrents are freeleech (think 30GB+). As long as you’re cautious with ratio when you’re starting out, it’ll be fine.
Thanks thes is good to hear And I guess I will take the strategy of seeding as long as possible to get the points And then use them to fix my ratio And yeah thanks
Every private tracker I've joined has had similar seeding requirements. Some are as little as 3 days seeding within the first week or so. With a seedbox you'll be able to seed even when your PC is shut off. For the rest of us, we have our servers running 24/7 to seed from home.
I don't know where you live, but you might look into some low power PC like a Raspberry Pi or Dell micro PC and seed from that since they only consume 5-10 watts of power.
Honestly you can probably find 90% of what you're looking for on public trackers. Private trackers just offer a better selection, better speeds, and sometimes more niche content but they're not a requirement. I lived off public trackers for a decade and rarely had issues finding stuff.
Also know that torrentleech has user groups so as you get better stats on the site your minimum seeding time decreases.
