Ratio seems impossible to keep up
-
As title. I need to seed 6GB to keep my download rights and there's no way I'm going to be able to. I freeleech but it never uploads more than 1MB, if I'm lucky before nothing at all will upload. How am I supposed to keep a healthy ratio if I can't upload?

@bodyworship8 you can easily seed 6GB by making your own torrent, it can be a collection of videos following a common theme, or it could be a collection of videos from one specific porn actor.
But this will only be a temporary measure, if you cannot reliably seed what you download the situation is unsustainable, you will always run into the same problem.
Like most users, you probably are behind a CG-NAT, so other peers cannot reach you. Only way to circumvent this is to use a VPN that supports port forwarding, such as Proton VPN, or to rent a seedbox.
Those two options will maximize your likelihood to seed what you download, specially freeleech torrents and new torrents, as those are the ones with higher demand.
Keep in mind that when you download torrents that have been on the site for too long, they don't have any demand, so you can't seed them to recover the consumed ratio. You need to focus in the torrents with demand, which are ones recently added to the site and the ones that went freeleech recently.

First thing is what is your upload speed like? Is that the limiting factor for you? Go to https://www.speedtest.net/ and run a couple of tests and let us know the result.

If you can also tell us you current ratio and total uploaded/downloaded that will help to understand the scale of the issue.

@frostycab
So I left it overnight and it looks like it has started uploading properly, which is new.Ratio is currently 0.542, Download is 371.72GB and Upload is 201.56GB.
I can't have many torrents downloading/uploading at once because I don't have space for it. I usually download one thing at a time use and try to seed.

@bodyworship8 Honestly, if you really want to give yourself some breathing space the best way to do it is with a seedbox. I recommended it in another post a while back, and the chap managed to upload an insane amount. If you manage it well you can upload over a TB in a month, which isn't bad for what is essentially the price of a cup of coffee.
The original thread is here if you're up for reading through and learning about it.
