Newbie with 0 upload ratio, with really good ratio on other sites

bskdu

Hi,

I just signed up for the site, but my ratio wouldn't get any better. I have a server that I use for torrenting. It runs a qBittorrent client in a container. My port is exposed, and i have a public IP. (Confirmed open port with telnet, I know the public IP doesn't make any difference) I have high ranks on other torrents sides and I have no problem uploading there from the same client. I don't have a VPN in front of the server. Are there countries where the upload would be blocked for this site? What could be the problem? Could you help me troubleshoot this?

Thanks,

@bskdu Hi there, welcome to the site.
My guess here is not that you have a technical issue, but that you may have downloaded only older torrents. It's a common issue here with new users who search for their favourite actors or studios and find a lot of content to download. This site has a huge turnover in content, with hundreds of torrents being uploaded daily. With that amount of new content older torrents, and by older I mean from a few weeks to a few years old, tend to attract very few downloaders. At this moment there's about 268,000 active torrents on the site, but only about 18,000 of these have at least one leecher, which illustrates the problem pretty well.
Check the torrents you have downloaded and see if they have any leechers. My guess is that they probably don't.
