Thread: Whats your most hard-to-mantain-ratio tracker

Hi guys and gals
I wonder what tracker has put the most "ratio pressure" on you and tell me why.
I just got an invite to TL and gotta say that it it kinda hard to maintain a good ratio when you are a fresh member because you have some restrictions - 48 hours wait and 1 slot - but i ll manage :).
Some time ago it was Iplay that gave me ratio headaches as a freshman but now its ok.

So tell me yours

has to be what.cd and ScL.. cant find leechers on ScL :(

and a tip for TL, what i did was download a movie pack or something.. that has many many leechers and seed it for 2-3 days.. my ratio jumped right up :D sort the list by leechers and see if u like anything they are downloading.. and then seed that

thanks for the advice.I m doing also some cross seeding.

hopefully this thread will help new members of a tracker with some ratio tips and not jumping to download if dont have good upload speeds.

For me it's easily What.CD

I have a decent ratio on it but it's taken A LOT of patience to build it up. You definitely have to be strategic with what you download.

I just received an invite to Waffles this morning from a music buddy on IndieTorrents and I can already tell it's going to be harder. There isn't any freeleech on the site from what I can tell.

The main problem with these two trackers is that it's hard to find torrents with leechers. You have to get them right when they're released, which really comes down to luck.

Luckily, both sites have bookmark sections (which I think EVERY tracker should have for their members), so I can keep track of the torrents I eventually want to download.

I did notice a T-I member giving away a 24 hour Waffles freeleech. That could come in handy. Heh. Unfortunately, I have to build a .50 ratio which will probably take a while. Damn.

Oh well. At least now I know they have a freeleech system. Good stuff.

Mine are bitmetv and torrent vault eventhough i got 10+ ratios on both they are hard to seed trackers cause I built ratios on those trackers through cross seeding. Soon though, i can start uploading which will make it allot easier, on bitmetv that is cause there pre times aren't that good.

With my connection i need like 100 snatches on a torrent and use irc autodownload in order for me to up 1 gb. So if i download anything else with less snatches, i need to cross seed or use other methods to increase my ratio.

what.cd is also painfully to upload, 5 gb in 3 weeks or something about 5 uploads and a total of 30 seeds. You do get upload back but it comes in really slow. I'm always happy to see people downloading from me on what.cd :)

from my experience, i would say elektronik.ro. It is hard to seed and most of the ratio i have one, i have built it by seedpoints !

I find it tough both on BitMeTV and on What.CD, only on different levels, as I only download small stuff from What.CD, but seeding it back takes a loooong time :) The 'peak' demand for TV shows makes maintaining a ratio hard on BitMeTV, specially since it's flooded with seedboxes that jump on any new torrent automatically and leech it in a few minutes.

What.cd buy far the hardest i can wait for days to see any movement even then it's only minimal.

Generaly music trackers are hard to seed.. But for me Bitme and bitmetv are hard to seed too.

TorrentLeech, IPTorrents and SceneAccess are prety easy :b
