need help with ratio
« on: August 09, 2010, 04:54:29 PM »
Yes, I know this topic has been beat to death, but I was wondering if someone could help me find a particular torrent that I could download and seed effectively.  I have tried downloading different torrents with seemingly bad ratios and haven't found any I could upload at faster than 1-2 kb/s.  My ratio torrenting off this site is around 3 which isn't insane, but I'm not a leecher.  Everything I actually want to download is like 40 seeders to 1/2 leechers so now I'm just looking for anything that I can see. 

I'm willing to download anything I can eventually seed and I'm not against running a torrent for weeks to be able to seed it enough.  I think that just shows what little progress I've made towards finding something I can seed...  I'd be hoping the torrent is 5 gbs or less though, as downloading something that is 10-20gbs only to find out I'll only be able to seed at 5kb/s will kinda suck.

Shouldn't I concerned if I've got 21 seeds and only 1 peer for the geass torrent?  Seems like its going to be another one I download with no ability to seed.

------------------------------------

I'll try to freeleech but it seems like that is where most are going to seed.


EDIT newy: no doubleposts!

For freeleech torrents, your download does not affect your overall ratio, but your upload does (by improving it).
Maybe, something is wrong with your torrent client settings though. There were some advices on them in other recent threads.

do a blank search so you get all the torrent files, then order them based on the number of leechers.
Find the top ones that are freeleech, grab em.

http://bakabt.me/154291-bakemonogatari-ghostory-1080p-coalgirls.html  (370/180 right now. freeleech)
http://bakabt.me/154166-kurokami-bd-1080p-atsa.html (247/47 right now. freeleech)

you get the idea, there are alot of freeleech out there that have a reasonable number of leeches. Just go take a look.

I've got a few free leech ones going, and and I'm getting some decent upload #s from them so that should work.

thanks for the help
