@pols1337:
I have (in my opinion) a terrible ratio of 0.8 with 900 GB Uploaded and 1100 GB Downloaded.
I'm not new to torrenting and I've been a member of the site for a long time, but I just don't get it. Here are things that I do to intentionally improve my ratio:
1. I target and sort by torrents with low seeders / high leechers that are new.
2. I target freeleech that have a lot of time left and a lot of leechers
3. I minimize the amount of torrents that I actually want
4. I uploaded my first torrent of a pretty nice collection
And yet, my ratio hovers around 0.8.
Even right now, I'm targeting a file that has a S/L ratio of 1/46 and yet … I'm not actually uploading anything to anyone, just downloading and killing my ratio. I've always been proud seed back to the community, and on another popular Gay Torrents website I consistently maintain higher than a x2 ratio (with much more volume, something like 3 TB Uploaded) and my uTorrent is set to prioritize seeding.
I'm frustrated. Based on my metrics on the other Gay Torrents website, I can and know how to maintain great ratio. But then I come over to GayTorrent.RU and my ratio is in the toilet. I've clearly seeded a ton and want to seed a ton, and I've read ALL the guides I could find on GayTorrent.RU but I just don't know wha telse to do.
Even though you have a red reputation.. It's only a short red line.. so there is hope for you.. so I will try to help you out.
You have the right idea about getting a good ratio, but just the idea is not enough. Your #1 strategy is probably a waste of time. #2 is almost correct, but instead of focusing on how much leech time is left, focus on how NEW the torrent is. The reason is - most people don't bother looking at torrents older than a day or two old - so even if that torrent has a week of freeleech time left on it, people are not going to find it after a few days. I'm pretty sure that as long as someone starts a download during the freeleech time, it continues to be freeleech even if the freeleech time expires for that torrent… so if you were downloading a freeleech torrent of 100 gigs.. and the freeleech time expires in an hour... as long as you start the download before that hour expires, you get the entire 100 gigs for free. #3 is not necessary unless your downloads are not completing.
#4 what you consider a nice collection might not be what others consider a nice collection. I tend to only download torrents that feature performers, action, and quality good enough to make even straight men get a boner. I would like to see what you uploaded.. and also what performers and studios you think are popular. Studios are probably the best indicator for how good a movie is. I have seen the SAME performers in scenes made by one studio that are great.. who then go and make a scene with a studio such as Lucas Entertainment or Maverick Men or TimTales. But.. you can't overlook any studio.. because even the smallest studios have some unique gems. Every studio has their own unique "style". Maverick Men can't be completely ignored because they have a few Chris Crocker ("Leave Britney Alone!) gay porns - which are not great, but unique because they have Crocker in them. Lucas Entertainment has a knack for ruining the scenes no matter what performers are in them. Out of every video TimTales has ever made, they ALL suck.. EXCEPT for those with JOAQUN SANTANA. TT has some scenes with Hans Ebson and Darius Ferdynand, but those two performers have worked with a LOT of studios.. and done much better work with them. Then there are special cases such as gay porn star Sam Ritter better known in mainstream movies as Stephen Geoffreys (Stephen denies doing porn - uh huh.. that is about as ludicrous as Tom Cruise and Justin Bieber being straight). Geoffreys was a major TV and movie star in the mid to late 80's in films such as "Heaven Help Us", "976-Evil", "Fright Night", and "Fraternity Vacation". https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=Stephen+Geoffreys+as+Sam+Ritter&FORM=RESTAB

I mention people like Crocker and Geoffreys, because the most popular videos by far are those of mainstream celebrities who dropped their pants. A LOT of Disney actors wind up dropping their pants.. as do pop stars such as Joey Fatone. I expect that one day some video of Bieber bottoming for a black guy will pop up on the internet - once he no longer has the money to pay off the people blackmailing him. The way Bieber thinks.. he might post a video like that HIMSELF just to grab the attention of the media.
I have some questions for you.. your upload speed is not too fast.. are you using a VPN proxy?
Also.. who is your ISP? Some ISP's block or throttle torrents. Brighthouse / Time Warner did that for MANY years up until about 2 years ago - and they always denied it. You should test your internet speed while torrents are active. and when they are not. If your speed goes to a crawl while active torrents are running, you are being throttled. Throttling pisses me off.. because it amounts to an ISP advertising high speeds.. which are only high if you DON'T TRANSFER FILES! Their high speeds are only good if you do nothing more than surf the internet websites.
