Anyone who manages it to keep 1.0 or above ratio without donating?
-
And leave the program running after the Freeleech expires so that the people who haven't finished downloading are still adding to your balance.

So far, Freeleeching the video has given me 1.2GB (instead of the 2.5GB that I could've bought), and we have six more hours or so until the Freeleech expires. What's a Seedbox, btw?
a server with a good network connection so you can seed 24/7 with 100mbit/1gbit+ upload speeds; and/or download your torrents for you so you can just download them directly without any torrent traffic on your home connection.
for instance my home connection can only manage upload at ~2.2MB/s, but a server can do ~12MB/s, thats 1GB in 1.5 minutes (if people are actually downloading)
as i said though, if you don't break even with your freeleech seeding: just be happy to know that you shared the video so others who might have bad upload too could get it without worrying about ratio. give-a-little: get-a-little xD

I do not have access to statistics about the daily uploads count. lets say there are 200. That means all other users enjoy being members to a site that will not allow them to breath.
To correct the matter, seed points should be allocated by the number of active torrents.

I put a Vintage/Bareback video on Freeleech today. In 7 hours it's uploaded 7.66 GB.

Great. Currently there are 412 users connected. I have counted that about 350 are with low ratios, thus cannot download freely. Many of the users with ratio above 0.8 have extreme rations. They should be uploading continuously, but I do not see their torrents.
With my freeleech I was not as successful as you were. However, what is the point? Are we in this business for the fun of availing torrents we did not select? -
Well, the discussion IS how to keep a ratio above 1.0.
There are a bunch of factors in play: I made a rare video on a popular subject that had 1 seeder who had uploaded it 30 weeks ago on a Saturday night. Each of those factors helped. I don't need to keep my ratio this high but someone with a ratio low enough that they are in danger of losing downloading priviledges could use that.
-
It seems too hard to even reach that ratio, so may I know if there are members here who have kept 1.0 or above ratio without turning to donating?
Even if you have files available for seeding, you don't get any credit unless someone is downloading your seeds.
Maybe they should add another ratio booster which gives some credits to people who have files available for seeding even if nobody is downloading those seeds. To prevent people from getting credit for ancient files or files that nobody wants, here is another idea: whenever a file is being downloaded, everyone seeding it gets credits even if their seed is not the one being downloaded. If nobody is downloading the file, nobody gets any credits. -
If your ratio is on the low side, there are additional things you can do to boost it. They include reporting duplicates, uploading additional images for torrents, rating torrents you've downloaded, etc. They all earn seed bonus which you can exchange for upload credit on your ratio.
-
If you are seeding torrents, however nobody is downloading them, you can also try reaching out to a mod such as myself, who can sometimes put a freeleech on some of the torrents in your profile and in some cases, even promote them back to the top of the list, all in order to be able to help get you some legitimate upload traffic.

@alrey that's a beginner TRAP we have all fallen for like a mouse to a trap with cheese in it. This RATIO forum should be required reading for everyone's first 30 days. Instead we focus on download NOW and thus we fall into RATIO JAIL.
-
@dat1hungdude my ratio is 3.24
the secret is to keep files that are popular and seed seed seed.
downloading garbage that nobody else wants will kill your ratio

@lololulu19 excellent advice
