TIPS for ratio

<< < (2/2)

Zel47:
1. You are putting my quotes in Al_Sleeper's mouth somehow.

2. That small amount of torrents may be part of the problem. You want as many as possible up, because it will automatically prioritize the ones you're most needed on at any given moment, thus causing you to seed more. At least mine seems to do that anyways? Also sticking to the last 10 torrents limits it to mostly new releases, which means there will be tons of seeders on those torrents. If you keep older torrents on there, you will be heavily used as a peer more often when people download them, as there will be way less seeders to draw from.

3. You can contribute even if you do sign off to download something that would be a huge hit to your ratio occasionally, just be sure to seed it until it is 1/1, then you have given back 100% of what you leeched on it while off your profile. =]

Any tips available for those who want to seed but at the same time have crappy upload/download speeds such as 2mbps or less?

No, leave everything going forever. Just ten torrents will not get you many leechers.

Thanks for the advice everyone, I think things will work out regardless. I'm not in any real danger of falling under the cap, I just miss seeing my ratio above one.

I hope you realize that you'd be contributing more as an anonymous leecher who gives seeders someone to seed to rather than as just another seeder sitting around waiting for someone to seed to. BakaBT is unique because it's heavily overseeded. Seeders coming in don't contribute - they make the situation worse.

Wow, you get that much? I'm forced to throttle my up speed to 15KBps, or 120Kbps because my ISP keeps bugging me about going over the monthly bandwidth limit. Hopefully I can upgrade so they'll bug me less often about it.

Sad to say, in my part of the UK, Sky Fibre hasn't reached where I live yet and even then, it probably won't be for another year or two due to my area not having fibre installed until next year or a year later at the latest.

Even then, it probably won't be 100Mbps or more thanks to the UK Government not giving a fuck about investing in high-speed broadband!

On another note, the best thing is that Sky Broadband is a lot cheaper than BT and you get truly unlimited broadband from them.

And that is your sole opinion, not a fact. Why don't we all just stop seeding and become greedy leechers, heck that would make the situation bloody awesome.
The fact of the matter is that seeding on BakaBT is really not _that_ hard despite the overseeded torrents issue. Honestly, no private tracker can be seeded on as easily as you can on BakaBT without even cheating yourself by being a public leech and then seeding back. So please stop telling people to be one!

Bottom line is 3 options already mentioned:
1) Be an annonymous leech if you can't be bothered by seeding at all
2) Annonymously leech, but seed back what you've leeched anonymously as well as Zel47 explained
3) Just seed as much as you can. There are plenty of freeleech options available that will not impact your ratio - and just seed as much as you can. Not just a set number, seed everything that you have on your hdd for as long as possible.

The only tip for best results there is - seed anywhere from 30-1000 torrents at a time (50 or so is actually quite sufficient), and your ratio will steadily increase.
Seed all hentai that you can, they tend have a better stream of leechers. And lastly, patience.
