well i posted looking for info on helping out the community only to have my first thread/post locked, and redirected here because i guess it came off like i was trying to 1 up people on inernet speed. I can't say i have enjoyed the first 10 mins here so if someone can point out the easiest way for me so seed some torrents for people so i can help the community, then i can be on my way. Thanks

Just download what you enjoy and keep it in whatever bittorrent program you use and keep that opened as much as you want. Especially for the first like month or so, when still building up your ratio it's a decent upload speed (fantastic compared to mine) but BBT is oversaturated on seeders so even then you won't be seeding nearly as much as you'd think.
It took me around ~50 torrents or so before I got to a point where I'm always on my max (100kb/s) upload speed.

After you got a stable ratio if you really want to help out, in the tracker you can search for ''bonus'' torrents that have particularly low amount of seeders compared to leechers. But that's pretty much the most you'll be able to do, and it'll pale compared to some of the monsters on this site.

About not having enjoyed the first 10 minutes, I'm sorry to hear that, but I saw your first post. And while I didn't get the feeling you were trying to ''1 up people on internet speed'' these forums are pretty vast, and we try to encourage to use the search function. We get a lot of... less intelligent people here (just check the Need Help? Ask Here! subforum, like half the threads started there just make me facepalm, and almost always from newcomers who don't even bother to check the wiki if it lists their problem). Frankly forgive impatience and get to know the community a bit more, most of the people here are awesome.

Made a topic for those, lol

@traintech

as for your locked topic. you indeed have a noble cause but i think staff just
don't want warned leechers to avail of such luxury. it's easy to make up shit
to get others to do your seeding. if you check my tracker profile you'll see my
ratio is pretty high. i couldn't have seeded that much myself if it weren't for
the kind soul who volunteered to help me out. (^_^ you know who you are)

so yeah, if you're still willing you can get to know people here and choose
someone to help.

ok thanks for the help guys, back on topic, i hear there is even so way faster internet over here. I am sure that in tokyo, the internet is faster too.

Freedom Kira:
Gigabit symmetric connections aren't uncommon in Japan. I think what you have would be considered slow, and the equivalent of "lite" speeds in North America.

Edit: Okay, maybe not quite. But it's at most a bit above average.
