BakaBT > Need Help? Ask Here
So I've been in the red status for a long time.

Second, I download torrents only if they interest me (never solely for the purpose of driving ratio), yet I have a ratio of 2.424 (U: 4952.06 GB, D: 2042.69 GB). I have a roughly 22 Mbit down, 4 Mbit up connection (limited to 220 KByte/s), which is as asymmetric as anyone else's on here. So I know it's NOT impossible to get and keep a decent ratio. even if you don't use any particular methods to do so.
How do I do it? Seeding a LOT of torrents, all the time. Generally, out of my 179 torrents from BakaBT currently set to forced seeding in uTorrent, 25-35 will actually be active at any given time; I have *zero* difficulty maxing out whatever portion of my up pipe I care to allow. If I bothered with any of the methods posted on this subforum to increase ratio, I'm sure mine would be even better. So why don't YOU try some of them?

I am seeding ALL the torrents i downloaded so far, and i dont plan on deleting them.... even if it means my computer being full, and i do have a good internet.
Still, not enough leechers. By this way ill need 3 mounths of seeding to get to 0.1 -.-"
I'll just try donald1's suggestion.

It seems there is a divide between successful seeders and those who are not so good at it; I know I have scoured the forums and dedicated several hours to trying all the tips with the goal of giving back but not much luck so far. So I hear your pain....it has helped to use the relocate function on utorrent to seed the files that I renamed or downloaded from other sources. But I have pondered something similar to your query before. I guess in the end, if I don't like Bakabt, I don't have to use it.
Bozobub:
Let me reiterate:
You do NOT need to be logged in to download torrents from BakaBT. BakaBT is a *public* tracker.
If you find keeping a decent ratio on BakaBT is too onerous, for whatever reason, just use the tracker as a public user. Ratios here are, frankly, just e-peen. You'll still be contributing to the site, as a precious leecher to upload to.
pityrules:
That's awesome, I didn't even think about the whole contributing as a leecher aspect.
Huh for some torrents I found on isohunt, I was forced to register with Bakabt in order to connect to any seeders. I could download the torrent files but no activity took place until I registered....is this an anomaly? Feel free to chastize me if this is a redundant or stupid question but how does your statement that Bakabt is a public tracker fit with the policy of being cut off from downloading if your ratios aren't good?
Bozobub:
When you download a .torrent file, it has either your passkey OR a public passkey in addition to the torrent information itself. Which version you get depends on whether you are logged in or not. A public passkey only, however, lasts 1 month.
Beyond the 1 month limit, there is NO requirement to log in for a publicly-downloaded torrent. None. Public ratios are also not tracked, nor is it associated in any way with your BakaBT account.
It sounds to me like you downloaded an older public torrent from isoHunt, with an expired public key. If that happens, just re-download the .torrent file from a BakaBT public session (rather than from isoHunt); the torrent will work just fine.
