Hey all,
I'm Alan, I'm 22 and I'm new here
I was honestly curious about this site so here I am. -

Welcome, Alan! I'm Joe. Just started here myself a couple months ago. There's lots of great stuff here to enjoy. My "wishlist" has been growing ever since.
Oh, one piece of advice: don't try giving your torrent wishlist to Santa. I'm on permanent "naughty" status 'til 2050, at least…

@Alnuzx Since you are new.. here's some sage advice on how to build a ratio. Download ALL the NEW Freeleech stuff, and seed it for a couple of days before deleting it.
Download NEW content until you develop enough of a ratio where you can afford to download old content.
If you see a large collection that looks interesting, don't download the entire thing until you first unselect all the content, and then pick a few images or videos to test to see if the content is actually any good.
You get a sizable "bonus" for uploading your first torrent, so make sure you do that.
You can buy some credits, and if you are going to buy, the best time to do that is when you are NEW, so you get a benefit from it and avoid the torture of being without credits as a newbie. I would pick an option OTHER than bitcoin. I have had nothing but bad experiences even trying to BUY bitcoins.

I would also try to avoid downloading new Freeleech stuff which already has a lot of seeders already on it, simply because they may have better or faster connections than you do, which could make it very difficult for you to get much seeding done.
Download NEW content until you develop enough of a ratio where you can afford to download old content.
I don't see why that would make much difference. I would still try to stay away from downloading any torrents which already have a sizeable number of seeders already on them, to avoid the possibility of them having better seeding speeds than you have.

I would simply avoid any large collections unless they are Freeleech.
Sampling some of the content first is a good suggestion, though.You get a sizable "bonus" for uploading your first torrent, so make sure you do that.
This may be a difficult suggestion, but try uploading a torrent that looks interesting...not the same sort of thing which may already be here. You want potential downloaders to become interested in what you upload as your first torrent, so make it interesting to get more interest and activity in it to build your ratio up better.

@cinemacapman New Freeleech stuff has a lot of seeders, but it also has a LOT of leechers downloading them.. and for someone who is lacking download credits, a freeleech can do nothing but help.
