Just continue seeding. Patience is your friend.

you are doing something wrong - "the torrent" is not seeding properly.
which torrent client and version are you using? what does the tracker status message read?
and it would probably be a good idea to seed not just one, but a few more of the 42 torrents your downloaded...

most likely very low number of leechers

BTW, hiding info in your personal profile on the tracker is not the wisest thing to do when you are askng for help.

You aren't even actively seeding anything. All your individual ratios are horrendously low and you have practically never seeded back at all!

To be honest, I don't really care about this. You come here, leech our stuff, and when you have the slightest problem, you immediately turn around and ask for help. I absolutely hate this kind of attitude. Did you even read the Wiki guides that we have? Have you even read the Rules and the FAQ for the site?

The problem is either low leechers or you doing something wrong. All the torrents (yes, they're mostly hentai) have very low leecher counts (all <10, most ~3). You definitely need to read our Fixing Your Ratio guide if you want to fix your ratio.

If I see you posting here without having tried to solve the problem yourself, I will seriously consider extending your warning by a couple of months <_<

I was in a similar position recently - although I seed as much as possible and have (only) done about 60GB in a few months - I'm on Comcast so I have to be careful of the bandwidth cap.  Anyway, you need to get quite a few torrents and just let them seed - that' s it.

I have been having good luck with upload speeds of "[Coalgirls] Eureka Seven 720p" - a decent amount of seeders but a good amount of leechers compared to other torrents I have seen.  My upload speeds have ranged from 20 kB/s to 215 kB/s (currently 116 kB/s).

The real key is to just seed for as long as you can - download some torrents with decent seeder/leecher ratio, let them seed and forget about it.

thanks for the tips! i honestly didn't know about the whole ratio and how it works thing, but yeah my bad for not knowing so in the first place.
(already browsed through wiki yesterday after i posted this and still can't seed due to the fact that i already 1.deleted my torrents from this site. and 2.deleted the files that i got from this site.)
i am not that aware of how this/bakabt's system works, i was told by someone (presumably in teh internetz) that your site hosts tons of great stuff and its free so he/she basically blabs about "just steal everything just like the rest of the pirates out there" so obviously i just did and didn't care what i was doing and treated it like (input random torrent sites here)
again, i apologize or for even posting this here and yes,i am not like those taking for granted types(seriously..)
i just happen to have a friend who works at an internet cafe and i could just easily seed through (input kbps here.) with ease (unless if people/customers watches streaming stuff simultaneously)
ill seed as much as and as long as i can.. for real.
for now ill do what you guys told me!

You do NOT have to DL the file from BBT but you may seed it here assuming each torrent contains the same files. If that is the case then you need to DL the torrent file (just the .torrent, you dont need to re-DL anything.) from here with your key to add the BBT tracker. After that erase the tracker from the site you DLd it from initially.

you need to use our torrents
you don't need to use the files downloaded through our torrents

=> you can use files you downloaded by other means to seed our torrents (as long as they are the same as in our torrents)

in any case you need to actually seed and upload data.
