Ratio of not so popular torrents
-
Good afternoon,
I have downloaded a few torrents, however such torrents are not very popular, so even though I leave the PC mostly on all day and with the ability to upload, my ratio doesn't go up.
How to improve my ratio in this case? I'm afraid to do some other download, and that download isn't searched often either, thus worsening my ratio.
can you help me?

BY FAR the easiest way to improve your ratio is to catch a FREELEECH torrent shortly after it has been FREELEECHED, download (it's free already), and then seed - at least for the remainder of the FREELEECH time (it should be shown in the torrent).
You should have good luck if you catch the FREELEECH when there are FEW seeders (and absolutely IDEALLY, few leechers so far!)...
The reason this works is that:
- The FREELEECH torrent is free for you to download - and anyone else, too!
- FREELEECH torrents are POPULAR! So there will build up a LARGE number of leechers - usually in a short amount of time!
- If you are one of a FEW SEEDERS and there are hoards of LEECHERS - then it only follows that you will wind up sharing MULTIPLES of the data size as more and more people download the contents.
Again, tho - they KEYS TO SUCCESS are to:
- download a FREELEECH torrent while there are FEW seeders (and preferably, few leechers too!)
- KEEP SEEDING - even past the freeleech time, as some users don't pay attention to the END TIME of the FREELEECH timer, and will still download it -- in the ERRONEOUS belief that if they start downloading it as a FREELEECH, it will stay that way. (It's only free while it's free! and the tracker counts BYTES, not downloads, for ratio!)

There's a difference between seeding and actively uploading. Seeding is having the file available, which doesn't affect your ratio. When you get active upload, you're sending data, so your ratio will increase. Just keep your files seeding and hope that someone comes along to download the same files that you have. The upload will be split by the active seeders, and not everyone gets action each time someone downloads, that's why you never stop seeding!

@maximopoder I'll just add a tiny note to what @bi4smooth said about using FreeTorrents to boost your ratio. I also tend to download the less popular Theme movies, which alone kills my ratio.
There usually aren't many good Theme free torrents but when I need to get my ratio up, I download some of the very popular FreeTorrent porn if it at all looks interesting. I have unrestricted GB upload and download speed, so I download things I will end up deleting after seeding it for a week or two.
It's counterintuitive to download and trash files to increase your upload ratio, but, if you have a fast connection, it works.
