Hi everyone,

I'm new here, and am trying to navigate maintaining my ratio. I seem to be having issues seeding with my torrent client. Not sure if this is a common thing, but I would really appreciate some tips/suggestions from people who know how to keep a good ratio.

Thanks in advance!

@ligs welcome,
I, for example, seed 24/7
A good practice is just to leave your finished downloads to seed as much as possible.

Also, you can download and seed "Freeleech" torrents that have many leechers. This will not count against your download but will count against your upload
(Be aware of how many hours/minutes does a torrent have being freeleech)

All that being said, for some reason (I don't know why), there are (very long) periods of time where no matter how much I seed or how many leeches does a torrent have, I am unable to seed properly or at all

I am in such a period right now for about 3 weeks, maybe more

how to keep a good ratio

Maintaining a Good Share Ratio
We provide members with a wide variety of ways to keep above the minimum ratio requirement:
Seed downloads to earn upload credit (newer torrents = more traffic)
Seed downloads to earn 0.5 seed bonus points per hour (exchange for upload credit)
Reseed older torrent requests with only one/zero seeders to earn upload credit. This means redownload .torrent file and point toward file on hard drive.
Upload new torrents to earn upload credit when others download. This is possible even with download rights suspended
Upload new torrents to receive thank you seed bonus points gifted from other members
Download and seed freeleech torrents. This costs no download amount and gives you upload credit on these heavy traffic torrents
Vote category on completed downloads to earn 2 seed bonus points per vote
Search for duplicate torrents and earn 50 seed bonus points per confirmed report.
Submit pictures for torrents with < 10 total photos to earn 1 point per approved picture
Post your personal affiliate membership link to other areas of the internet or send to friends. You will earn 250 seed bonus points per new user.
Power Users can invite new members for 2 GB upload credit per new invite
Make donation for upload credit (helps us pay server costs)

Another thing that can help is to only download part of a new multi-file torrent: For example, if a torrent has multiple files and total size of 10 GB, I find that if I select only 5% of those files for downloading, I'll get them quickly and then seed them back to other users at a high speed.

Fan site torrents are especially good for this. There was one about a week ago where I did this, and my share ratio for that torrent alone is about 13 right now. I'll probably keep it for another week and then delete it.

The only downside to this approach is that this torrent will count against your allowable download slots even when you've downloaded everything you selected. I think that's a small price to pay for pumping up your ratio.

Good luck with this, and let us know how it turns out for you.
