Thread: [Tutorial] How keep a good ratio with a slow upload speed

How many of us have complained about is that by not maintaining the positive ratio, blaming our low upload speed ...?
Maintaining a good ratio when you have a small upload speed can be quite difficult. For this reason, I will leave you some tips that can help increase your ratio.


Add Completed Torrents - This is when you already have a completed torrent from another tracker, get the same torrent file from the tracker where you which to increase the ratio. Remember: when you are doing this, maybe some files could be different on the new torrent (tracker where you want to increase the ratio). So when adding the torrent, don't start the torrent. First, you must do a "Force Verification" and if exist different files, select those same files and choose the option "Do not transfer" (jump) as you can see in the picture below.



Now, start seeding the torrent and the ratio will start to increase.
As you can see in the picture below, I have the same torrent 8 times.






Freeleech Torrents - It seems too obvious, but there are some things you can do to get a better upload speed on torrents in freeleech. The first thing we do is choose a large torrent like a boxset/pack.
Now, choose to download only 1 or 2 rar files from each movie/show from the torrent, as you can see below. Just choose 1 or 2 rars for each film in the "boxset. That is all you need.



Since most people make download the whole torrent, they don't have any file (of the torrent) completed, which makes it easy to find people who need their data and give you a good upload speed. When the torrent begins to slow (upload speed), download more a few files of the torrent and speed returns again.


Get the torrent fast - Try to download the torrent so close to the time when it was posted.
This way you have some time to seed, before start reducing the number of leechers .


Save a good torrent - Say that had saved a torrent as a very popular game and you presume that people will still getting, some time later (like one month or more). When you remove the torrent, do not delete definitely. Save it, so you can add it later. Once the uploader stop seeding, the torrent is kept alive by users, you will have an opportunity to have a better upload speed.

I hope that helps people with a low upload speed.

Hi, the information to share the same folder with a lot a torrents with different trackers its so good.
Thank you for sharing this, i never do it before.

Man the easyest way is to partseed.You forgot to mention it.At a 1gb torrent download a file that is max 100-200mb and seed it until you make a good ratio.If you try downloading the whole you might not have time to seed all you downloaded.This method is easy and always works for me.

Yes, You're right. I forgot it. This tip can help any user to keep a good ratio without many problems...
Thanks for remember this tip.

if your ratio is too low, you can still use no-ratio trackers and keep seeding ;)

a great article for n00bs. thanks for this.:)

Excellent! Thank you for the tips especially for this: Add Completed Torrents. I didn't know that we could do this. This will definitely boost my ratio. Once again, thanks!
