Seeding

You've been a member for a day. Please be patient, as there are 22 times more seeders than leechers on BBT and therefore takes much longer to seed the same amount as you leech.

...and as I said, stick to freeleech at first.

I'm just worried I'll end up on the worst sharers top 10 list lol

It takes a lot to get there. You basically have to spend the first week downloading a ton of stuff (since you are not limited in your downloading until a week in, IIRC) and then seed absolutely none of it back.

In other words, you have to be a complete asshole. Which I'm sure you aren't.

Anyway, focusing on low seeder stuff isn't a bad idea, but if it's unpopular stuff that no one leeches, you'll end up with the same problem. The key is the seeder to leecher ratio, not just seeder count.

And be prepared to seed stuff forever. I've been seeding some of my torrents for more than two years (and that's not regular time, that's active time, i.e. the amount of time BBT has seen me actively seeding). Some are approaching three years.

That's true, I'm still seeding the first torrent I downloaded remember downloading (Suzumiya Haruhi) :]

Freedom Kira:
I'm proud to hold the current longest active time out of all the peers on BakaBT's oldest torrent, a solid 6400 hours ahead of second place. I wish there was a prize for that.

v Oh, thank you! I'll accept it graciously.
