Thread: Seeding Tips & Tricks for Specific Private Trackers

I probably don’t have to tell you that maintaining a good sharing ratio on your private trackers is IMPORTANT to keeping the account. However, no tracker is alike - we’d like to break this down a little further and delve into the seeding secrets behind individual trackers.


As an example, new users to What.cd and Waffles will wonder how it can ever be possible to make it to ‘Power User’, when the torrents just don’t seem to seed. TorrentLeech and RevTT users may find it extremely easy to buffer their accounts in no time at all at these 0day trackers. So instead of seeing "This account has been disabled", we’d rather you be privy to a great buffer.


The "I need a seedbox" Myth:
While a seedbox can (and will) greatly improve your ratio at a much faster rate than seeding through a home connection, especially for 0Day sites, it isn’t necessary for most trackers. While the fact remains that many trackers comprise of members that use RSS feeds hooked up to a powerful seedbox, or, IRC feeds that run straight from the #announce channel, there are many clever options to circumvent this with a home BitTorrent client. You’ll probably not hit a 1:1 ratio in µTorrent within the first 24 hours - patience is the main key. Looking below, the Seedbox required? It isn't mandatory - but rather a suggestion based on torrenting experience.


The Trackers:
This is a list of private trackers and their respective seeding tips. I’ve purposely left out the easier ones such as Libble, STMusic, Torrent-Damage, etc. (due to high availability and user count).


BitMe / BitMeTV
BitMe & BitMeTV don’t have a freeleech category. There’s no trick here, you’ll simply need to seed for a long period of time, and be patient. With BitMe, jump on the latest stuff, and keep an eye on the Web Design/Photoshop torrents - these are always popular. BitMeTV Tips: All the files are already extracted from the RARs, so you’ll be able to ‘preseed‘ - that is, download a torrent from another tracker, extract it, and re-seed it back. This tip works well with BitMeTV since their pre-times are substantially slower than most of the 0day trackers. Another tip is to stick to the big TV shows (Heroes, Lost, Scrubs) as they’ll be certain to have a lot of new leechers coming into the torrent down the road. You’ll also be able to upload your own torrents once you hit 5GB upload with a 0.65 ratio.
Seedbox required? High Recomendation
Freeleech? NO


BitSoup
I’ll say this: There are 100,000 members at BitSoup - certainly a few of them are leeching. Freeleech torrents not required. Users will be able to arrange the torrents in the leecher column from high-to-low, and use these top torrents to build a fantastic buffer.
Seedbox required? Medium Recomendation
Freeleech? NO


Cinemageddon
Cinemageddon is easy to seed on - just look for the bonus torrents as represented by the different coins. Take this a step further by filtering the search results to show only these bonus releases. Ratio buffering shouldn’t be a problem, as uploading is highly encouraged (and rewarded). Got an account at Karagarga? Then start uploading content from there to Cinemageddon.
Seedbox required? Medium Recomendation
Freeleech? YES


DeepBassNine
It’s not a simple task to seed torrents at DeepBassNine - even the freeleech torrents are starved for leechers. Worse yet, you’ll need to apply to become an uploader.
Seedbox required? Medium Recomendation
Freeleech? NO


Demonoid
Downloading torrents tagged as external will not help your ratio at Demonoid one bit. Sadly, those are also the ones with the highest seed/leechers. If you’re trying to build a buffer, you might want to filter the torrents to show Demonoid as the tracker. In any event, seeding at Demonoid is dead-simple as there’s hundreds of thousands of other users. While you won’t be able to filter the results by leechers (high-to-low), use their Home link to show the most popular torrents per category for a good idea of what will do well. In a test, I seeded just one torrent (in a seedbox) to a ratio of 20:1 in less than 14 hours.
Seedbox required? Low Recomendation
Freeleech? YES


FunFile / Pretome
Yes, there’s a category for Free Torrents however, you’ll hardly need it. Home BT client seeding is dead-simple - torrents will do well from wherever you seed them from, and H&Runner’s are rampant.
Seedbox required? Low Recomendation
Freeleech? YES


Horror Channel
There’s two ways to filter the torrents that are tagged free - either browse the Free category, or choose something from the TOTM (Theme of The Month) which are perpetually freeleech torrents. You’ll also be able to upload your own stuff to THC.
Seedbox required? Medium Recomendation
Freeleech? NO


iPlay
I suggest you get a seedbox for iPlay if you want to keep the account healthy. As a rule, the more "elite" a tracker, the less leechers there are.
Seedbox required? High Recomendation
Freeleech? NO


Karagarga
The movie tracker with seeding habits comparable to What & Waffles! Karagarga is so scattered with great movie torrents that it’s really difficult to tell what’s hot - uploading is tricky to say the least (seedbox or not). Not just that, but torrents with a high leecher number are insidiously misleading (click the details of one of these torrents, and you’ll see the bold warning!) since the tracker is plagued with partial seeders. Users are permitted to upload their own content, which is where your "MoM" can help. The MoM - aka… ‘Master of the Month’ is a chosen theme in which users are heavily encouraged to down/upload releases related to the MoM. I won’t go into specific details here.
If you’re a fan of Karagarga, likely none of this is new info to you. Community is the greatest aspect to Karagarga, and thankfully it remains on the cold-list for private tracker collectors.
Seedbox required? Medium/High Recomendation
Freeleech? YES


Lossless
I’m not Russian, but I managed to figure out how to manipulate the search filter to show freeleech torrents. There aren’t many of them, and they usually consist of large music packs. The Seed/Leech ratio is not lop-sided; however there’s not much of either - speeds in both directions are lacking for most of the torrents.
Seedbox required? Medium Recomendation
Freeleech? YES


Metal.iPlay
With Romanian RMT (Romanian Metal Torrents), you’ll be able to filter the torrents to show the freeleech ones (with the gold coin), which comprise mostly of large custom packs. These do exceptionally well over time, even on a home connection. Stick with these to buffer your account to an obscenely high number.
Seedbox required? Medium Recomendation
Freeleech? YES


PeerPortal
Freeleech torrents at PeerPortal are always highlighted in green (typically these are always special PeerPortal packs), so there’s little guesswork as to which torrents will do well. Even with these packs, you’ll find it a daunting task to seed here without a seedbox. Yes, everyone at PeerPortal has a seedbox - home seeding is almost impossible.
Seedbox required? High Recomendation
Freeleech? NO


RevolutionTT
RevolutionTT is a popular 0day tracker (alike TorrentLeech) that doesn’t offer any direct freeleech, although they do tend to run site promos fairly often. Being a somewhat large tracker with 50K+ members, seeding shouldn’t be a problem for most users. The "Bar Packs" in ‘Music/Packs’ category comes out every week, and proves to be a good catch for incoming leechers - as does anything new in the ‘Movies/XVID’ category. Hapless users are able to purchase upload credit via way of donations, if need be.
Seedbox required? Medium Recomendation
Freeleech? YES


SceneAccess
Seeding new torrents at SceneAccess is not as tough as one might think, but it’s fairly difficult without a seedbox. If you don’t own one then use the "Archives" section in the top menu - torrents here are always freeleech. Additionally, there’s also a freeleech MP3 section as well.
Seedbox required? High Recomendation
Freeleech? NO


SceneFZ
For SceneFZ, you’ll need to do a complex search, and play around with the filters to gauge what’s popular, since you can’t arrange the torrents by clicking on S/L columns. SceneFZ packs do well, as do anything else that’s brand new to the tracker.
Seedbox required? Medium Recomendation
Freeleech? YES


SceneLinks
Without a seedbox, you’ll likely do very poorly at SceneLinks. Look for freeleech on archives and packs, as highlighted with a different background colour. Also watch for site promos that include sitewide freeleech and 2X upload.. SceneLinks uses a fluctuating ratio scheme, where the upload and download rates change. Look to download (the most recent) torrents when the upload number is high, and download # is low.
Seedbox required? High Recomendation
Freeleech? YES


TehConnection
TehConnection is a fairly easy tracker to seed on. While you’ll have a hard time browsing the freeleech torrents, they do exist and are represented by that ubiquitous spinning gold coin. TehConnection also offer "x0" and "x2" torrents, which respectively means (0x download, 1x upload) and (1x download, 2x upload). Surely these are enough options for anyone to maintain a good sharing ratio.
Seedbox required? Medium Recomendation
Freeleech? YES


TheBox
With 61,000 members, it’s hardly difficult to seed at TheBox. There’s also a freeleech category that contains nearly 3,000 torrents to select from, and new torrents prove very popular and almost always contain an abundance of leechers.
Seedbox required? Medium Recomendation
Freeleech? YES




TorrentBytes
A great thing about TorrentBytes is the large packs, which are always freeleech. Users can filter the search criteria to show these free torrents, just select one of the Pack options from the search dropdown box. With almost 70K+ users, it’s a tracker that's pretty easy to seed.
Seedbox required? Medium Recomendation
Freeleech? NO


TorrentLeech
For a general 0day tracker that offers no freeleech whatsoever, it’s very easy to seed at TL (seedbox not required). There’s a 1000's leechers for almost everything, and the ever-popular Movies/XVID category provides some of the best seeding opportunities. If you’re enough to jump on the latest popular torrents, it’s easy to hit 1:1 quickly, even with µtorrent at home. New members to TL may struggle with their ratio initially due to the wait-time imposed on new accounts, but after that it’s smooth sailing.
Seedbox required? Medium Recomendation
Freeleech? YES


TranceBits
There’s no browsable freeleech category at TranceBits, but you’ll be able to find most of them in the TranceBits Packs torrent category.
Seedbox required? Medium Recomendation
Freeleech? YES


TTI.nu
TTi is not a difficult tracker to seed at. Look for the Free and 2X Upload categories - there is more than a thousand torrents to choose from combined, included are some huge packs. Additionally, there is a MOTD (Movie of the day) which is free to download THE DAY IT IS PICKED, and only THAT DAY - it’s an excellent source for a freeleech seeding torrent. If you get kicked out of TTi for a bad ratio, then it’s time for you to ditch the 56K modem.
Seedbox required? Medium Recomendation
Freeleech? NO



What.cd / Waffles.fm
When it comes to seeding, What and Waffles are almost identical. You’ll need to be clever enough to jump on the newest popular releases, so a varied knowledge of music doesn’t hurt. There’s almost no freeleech torrents, although both trackers will offer certain promos from time to time, so take full advantage of it.
Seedbox required? Medium Recomendation
Freeleech? YES


x264.eu
Her at x264 it is kind of hard to seed. Thankfully they have a "Free" category - look for it underneath the listing of all torrents.
Seedbox required? Medium Recomendation
Freeleech? YES


Trackers with No Ratio:
You’ll simply need to seed from anywhere between 48-72 hours to stay in the good graces of these ratio-free trackers (although good members tend to seed much longer):

FTN (FeedThe.Net)
GFT (GForces)
ITS (InTheShadow)
PTN (PirateThe.Net)


Well I hoped you enjoyed!! Thanks for reading! Please tell me if you want me to add anything.

Off Course I enjoyed very much during read this and it's quite important so sad that you've been banned and i'm sending this reply now but I'm Glad for those useful metal myth Tips about all kind of channels.
precious metal

SCC have free pack often

I would downgrade what.cd and waffles to low seedbox priority. With those two trackers, seed time >>>>> seed rate.

for What and for Waffles i would definitely recommend uploading your own torrent after converting them to FLAC as its much easier to build ratio that way.

Else one has to wait for for there "promos" which takes time mostly on Xmas, the birthday and maybe new years.

Any tips on seeding in FYT? I am having difficulty even though I have a seedbox.

I cannot understand why people are finding it hard to build up some buffer on SCC without a seedbox..I have been a member for almost 6 months now and i use it regularly, i do not have a seedbox but still have a high buffer,maybe something has changed since time of original post??

I found some success on KG with any newly uploaded "erotica" torrents! Those will seed forever. Also, they do offer FL periods (rare) - buy a seedbox for those rare occasions and you'll be set for a while. Finally, they've now changed their FLOTW to work like most other trackers do (which is good, because the old way, you could lose ratio...)

Nice tutorial!

Waffles has a lot of contests/giveaways that can give you tons of points, which can translate to buying yourself free leech.

Example: I donated a ton of old books to a local library and took a picture of all the books I downloaded. From that alone, I have enough points to buy myself
tons of 24 hour free leeches and load up on the music I want
