I'm using TL and cannot for the life of me keep a decent ratio. My speeds just cannot compete against seedboxes. Even idling in the IRC waiting for fresh content hasnt helped. YMMV
What I used to do was look for high activity free leech, and then let it seed for a few weeks.
It doesn't have anything to do with speeds mate, it's easy to keep a good ratio on TL by downloading freeleech content and seeding it for 10+ days. It doesn't even have to be content you want. Just keep it seeding and you'll rack up big numbers, which you can then exchange for upload credit.
I’ve had 4 or 5 torrents from TL in transmission (which is on 24/7) for 30+ days now and they haven’t even hit 0.5. All freeleech, all relatively active.
Right, but that's not what I'm saying. It's not about hitting good ratio on individual torrents, because as you've already seen that's actually very hard to do. You will have accrued points on those torrents, which you can then exchange for upload credit. This is probably where most people's ratio comes from on TL. Other sites are different, but TL is very generous in this regard.
wow, clearly I didn't read enough after sign up. thanks so much for the intel!
@nevernevermore @CheekyYoghurts most if not all content on TL can be found on btdig or magnetdl.
Freeleech and permaleech if you dont want to get a seedbox
Get new, freeleech torrents. They don't count against your download, but you still get credit for any upload.
well you can always cheat, just do it on torrents with a lot of activity and make it so that you only get like 1GB per day per torrent, you will never get caught
