Actually, easier done than said. Let's see..... hmmmm.... I don't think they have any releases (generally) from 2008>. So what can you upload that isn't from 2008<... hmmm.. . Upload popular old games, movies, anything. People's scripts snatch it, so it's not like they won't download if it isn't cool.

id just like to say the thread title made me lol hard

Thats actually a very good point, I've never considered it. Of any tracker GFT is bound to have one of the higher amounts of RSS feeding leechers. I'm definitely trying this out.

I changed the title, happy? Or are you still "LOL", "hard"?

Your other title generated more traffic so I liked it better than this one. Hah.

heh you didnt have to change it. and its still kinda silly. as long as you seed your snatches you should have no problem at GFT

I've tried this briefly and it works well. I uploaded two random music releases from a few months ago and got 3-5 seeds instantaneously (and I mean within five seconds of seeding). I seeded at decent speeds until a full copy of it had been seeded and then they completely took over with their seedboxes :] Both were between 100-200 mb so now to try it with a larger upload..

im glad i can amuse everyone lol

just had a look at the browse page to see how many snatches the latest uploads have.

the pr0n torrents have 0-2 snatches, so presumably they're people manually downloading and the people with rss set up skip the xxx section. the movies (xvid and x264) all have 0 snatches, so again the feeds must not be auto-snatching these.

the tv-x264 torrents all have between 6 and 10 snatches, within an hour or two of being upped, so i would guess there are a few people using feeds to snatch these, and misc torrents all have at least 2 snatches.

looking at the xbox360 and ps3 sections, they all have a few snatches, so i think games and tv packs would be the best torrents to upload, considering larger file sizes, to gain upload, but it's obvious that you can't just upload anything and expect the rss downloaders to snatch it.
