on my question about torrentleech they seem to open their doors quiet frequently so yeah I am planning to enter the next time they do my question is what are the rules actually

  • I found a post from 2 years ago and it says you have to either have a download ratio of 1:1 on the files you download or you seed them for 10 days so my question: is there a way actually to see those stats before deleting that file

  • for exemple if Ic seed like for 9 days will I still get a warning isn't there a threshhold

  • If I seed for exemple everyday for 10 hours and then shutdown my pc like any normal person than do the same thing for the next 30 days with variation in those 10 hours theoratically speaking I seeded for more than 10 days or sould I constantly seed for 10 days like my pc shouldn't shut down cause if that's the case then hate to break it to you but in some reagions electricity isn't stable

  • there is a question I always wanted to ask if you can't reupload stuff in the private repo to anywhere and they somehow will find that out then how is the stuff in the public trackers there in the first place

  • as long as the rules are not 10 days in a row I have no problem doing them since well I already have searxng always running in the background lol

  • to be honest all my torrent usage is that once in a while anime or movie and I usually keep the file until the ration is like above 1 since I don't mind

  • another question are there a lot or qualities and resolutions in torrentleech since if the file is like 20 gb I don't think I will ever reach that 1 ratio I usually go for the 1080p even 720 when the file size is huge + yeah sorry I have 500 gb ssd lol

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.
