      Any advice on getting my ratio back up to download? Everything I’ve read so far is to seed Freeleeches. Has anyone been successful?

        So there are 2 key things to keep in mind here:

        • You can get some help with your ratio purely by seeding - ALL THE TIME! It doesn't matter what, or how much seed, you earn a small amount of SBP just for seeding anything!
          BUT this is a slow slow method of helping your ratio - 600 SBP (which takes a long time to collect) is just 10GB upload credit!
        • Or, you can actually transmit data to other users - and one of the easiest ways to do that is with freeleeches!
          BUT THAT'S NOT THE WHOLE STORY
          When a torrent is made into a freeleech, it is usually noticed by a LOT of users, and it usually becomes VERY POPULAR. Lots of leechers = lots of people to send data to!
          BUT Lots of leechers, in a relatively short amount of time, quickly becomes lots of SEEDERS! And that's "competition" to your getting the ratio you so desperately need!

        So, it's not enough to just seed freeleech torrents - to get the most "bang for your buck" you need to seed freeleeches EARLY - as-in SOON AFTER they become freeleech!

        To do that, search specifically for freeleech torrents, and look for those with relatively low numbers of seeders!

          Also, I suggest looking for freeleech torrents that are huge, with a large number of files, and then select just a few of those files to download (and example being https://www.gaytorrent.ru/details.php?id=ab1d1a53af0f5b6a3f627acd8bc2072f3c5549679cb33bc7 that was posted about an hour ago). That one totals 18 GB, but if you select only 5% of the the total, you'll download that very quickly and become the "source" for many other leechers. For example, just select the photos (not the videos), as most people will want those. You could add a few smaller videos as well. This technique also works well with non-freeleech torrents if you're able to download those.

            @eobox91103 you guys are amazing thank you!! I didn’t think to have to go after the most updated freeleaches for the biggest bang for your buck! Man, keeping your ratio up is a lot of work

              You're very welcome. It's tough to get started on a torrent site that monitors ratio (not all of them do)--it's tempting to excitedly download big torrents that have nobody else seeding them, and get in ratio jail in a hurry.

              I just did a search, and there are several freeleech torrents posted in the last couple of hours that have many files in them--so pick a small number of the files and then watch your upload ratio climb.

              Another way to help your ratio is to upload some new material (i.e., make a new torrent). It's not that hard, and there are help pages here to guide you through the process. If you don't have any material that isn't here, send me a chat/private message (only works if you've been a member for six months or more), and I can put something on DropBox that you can download, and then make a torrent for it here.

                @eobox91103 So far so good! I've done a partial download of the most recent free leeches and i'm getting some good seeding so far (with a VPN of course). Thanks so much for all of the advice! hopefully I can get back to downloading again soon!
