Piracy

Usually there'll be freeleech files or freeleech days etc. This alows you to download without affecting your ratio.

Download a heap of freeleech content ans seed it 24/7. I was on a porn tracker and downloaded a few 20gb site-rips on freeleech. If 5 people download the full site off me, that's 100gb of ratio.

Try download some big files that you'll be one of the few seeds of after a while. If you only download content with 2000 seeders then you'll never get a good ratio, but if you can download some full TV series on freeleech then people will occaisionally want to watch the show and you can seed it to them

Typically, ratio private trackers have bonus point systems that you can exchange for free leeches or upload data. Read the rules for bonus points. You can maximize your points by being smart with your downloads. Downloading small torrents that are old, free leech huge torrents, torrents dying, etc. Depends on the tracker.

If they don't have bonus points, trackers also offer free leeches..that you need to snatch asap..if you download those everything you upload goes to your buffer.

I've been in many trackers and made TBs of upload data without having a seed box or uploading new torrents. It's just a little patience and then you'll be able to download whatever.

Just a question: why private trackers? Do you need any specific content that you can’t find anywhere else?

on my private tracker you get points for just always seeding, you can turn those points in for ratios boosts at a pretty good rate.

Does the tracker have any freeleech torrents? What tracker is this?

Seeding, but not uploading earns bonus points. Bonus points buy upload credit, so all you need to do to is not delete the torrent from your client and you’ll earn BP.

It's frustrating. I'm on an invite-only MMA tracker, and it's pretty much impossible to maintain ratio because instead of just uploading a 480 / 720 / 1080 for each event, we end up with 20 different uploads as everyone tries to get as much seeding themselves as possible.

The result of that is, without becoming an uploader your ratio just drops and drops. Which of course further incentivises fracturing of a single source into 20 pointless reuploads.

It's all on the public sites anyway. Just use 1337x or something.

torrentleech.org lets you stop seeding after 10 days regardless of the torrent's ratio. They just closed open sign ups though...

Regardless, the struggle is real on private trackers if your upload speed sucks super bad like me. It's maybe 1/100th as fast as my download speeds.

If you want to build up your ratio, you should try part seeding or outside seeding.

There are softwares which can fake seeding to raise your ratio.
