Seeding help!

(1/3) > >>

geft:
It's been some time since my last post requesting help on how to improve my ratio, and everyone basically telling me to be patient. I have been pretty patient, seeding torrents night and day for many weeks, but my ratio barely improved. The problem deteriorates as I'm still downloading new torrents every week or two, as waiting for my ratio to recover would take several months.

It's great that huge files are downloaded very quickly, but when seeding is impossible even if you tried? Recent torrents I downloaded barely uploaded anything back even though those are huge files. It's weird that I don't have this problem when it was still boxtorrents.com, which explains my decent ratio so far. Any way to deal with this?

Duki3003:
People are giving too much credit to "Back in the day when it was still BoxTorrents", sure some things have changed and some users experienced problems right after the transition such as can't access the site without a proxy, tracker being blocked etc.

Many of those problems are related to ones local ISP - for some enabling encryption helps, for others it doesn't...


Looking into your active seeding torrents I have noticed that they are ridiculously overseeded - 220/9 - that is almost 25 seeders fighting over 1 peer - so seeding is kinda hard. Other then finding a torrent with a better seed/peer ratio only thing I can recommend you is to try enabling encryption in case your ISP is disrupting seeding, or to find ways to deal with traffic shaping...

Pzc:
As always you'll have to find torrents with
a lot of leechers if you want to improve
your ratio. Either that or leave a lot of
torrents seeding at the same time and
wait patiently as they slowly trickle up.
Grabbing a popular free-leech torrent
might help too, zero impact on your
download but all upload counts.

This problem is neither new nor a phenomenon
clouded in mystery.

geft:
I've been using the same ISP for years. My dozens of GBs of upload were done when it was still boxtorrents. Maybe things are just much more efficient or that seeders are a lot more generous nowadays.

I'll try the freeleech approach but I don't think it can recoup the several gigabytes I need to recover my ratio.

SomeoneElse:
Remember that this is not the only place on the internet from which to download the releases offered here... Find a nice fat release offered here, ad go look for it elsewhere... then seed it back to here... Just make certain you are getting the same release offered here. This is especially helpful on torrents that have high a demand to supply ratio (a lot of leeches per seeder)
