Thread: How To Build Your Ratio On ...

Hey Guys,

thanks to you Guys I'm now part of a lot of great trackers. I managed to build a nice Ratio on every tracker I have. I did/do have help of a seedbox, but I think thats not all it takes because every tracker is special. So I would like to share with you how I did it.



Here we go:

BitMe:
Bitme is diffcult to seed because most torrent won't get much action. So to be safe I started of by uploading some new material which I downloaded from Demonoid. I recommend fresh Documantaries or Self Improvment material, that should get you some action. If you are part of ElbitZ or Bitspyder you can cross seed on new popular stuff.

Bitspyder:
This one is a real b****. Only really advanced and fresh IT stuff will get lots of action. I think you have to upload some new material to build a ratio. Look for video tutorials with big file size from demonoid or some other educational tracker and hope one or two guys will download it. I did build a 40GB buffer with some drawing tutorials from Demonoid.

BitMeTV:
The Key is: Cross seeding! Get a TVT.ro account too, you won't have much trouble finding one. Download the free leech HD torrents from popular TV shows like Lost, Big Bang Theory or House as soon and as fast as possible at TVT.ro and immediatly start cross seeding on BitMeTV once the download is finished. You really have to be fast here because even with a standard 100Mbit seedbox you won't get much upload out of it. But be aware that you have to maintain a 1:1 Ratio or 72h period of seeding on TVT too.

ElbitZ:
This one is easy, you don't even need a seedbox there, just pick fresh stuff with many leechers. If you want to be safe, upload some new material from Demonoid or some other educational tracker.

Karagarga:
A special one. Most films won't get much action. To start out, look for some smaller DVD divx rips, which were just uploaded (NEW tag) and have at least 4 leechers. With a seedbox you should be able to get at least a 2:1 ratio if you are fast to start downloading. Once you built up a 5-10 GB buffer look for full DVD or HD uploads, again with NEW tag and at least 4 leechers.

Revolution Torrents:
Pretty simple, one word would do it: Porn. Wait for fresh Porn, guaranteed action! Start out with some divx DVD rips, move to full DVD and HD once your ratio buffer allows it. After that if you are looking for the ratio buffer overkill, wait for a new siterip with 20-40 GB. If you don't like porn for whatever reason, don't watch it. This thread is about build a nice ratio. :)

TorrentLeech:
Again a special one. When you just got your account at TL you will have a wait time on new torrents until you have 7GB upload with a ratio of 0.8. But thats not that big of problem. Sort all torrents after leechers, look for TV shows or other popular stuff which was released at least 48h ago and still gets lots of action. Cross seed from TVT.ro or some other tracker. Don't make the mistake of downloading some pack, they have a lot leechers but most of them are just people who downloaded only some part of the torrent. After you got rid of the wait time restriction, you can build you buffer further with new popular movies or new porn. Again the faster you start downloading a new release the better.

ThePlace:
I highly recommend to build your ratio up to power user because as a user you can't download all the exclusive material. The easiest torrents to get a good ratio on, is on new pickup material, lots of people will download that stuff. You can also release some new material, everybody is allowed to upload there. You can find tons of self improvement material on Demonoid or ElbitZ.

Waffles and What:
I think these two are the hardest of all my trackers. The way two go is the same on both. Both trackers offer beside of music, elearing material and audiobooks and I think with these two categories it is the easiest way to build up a ratio. Look for fresh video tutorials which aren't released there yet, again download them from Demonoid or some educational tracker and make a new upload. Since we are talking about music trackers, video tutorials related to music will get you the most action (e.g. Learn to play Guitar or also tutorials on music software like Cubase). Audiobooks in good audio quality which have bigger file size can work great. Another way to go is to download Flac releases which aren't encoded into the other allowed formats and release them yourself. This is a lot of work, but on the other hand its good for the community. But be aware of the transcoding rules of the site, because the members and stuff is really picky about that and badly transcoded files will get removed fast.

Waffles Method by harcubed:

Method 1
1. Head here. This is my go to site for any sort of video game music/soundtracks. (You have a better chance of getting leechers off newer game music, but download what you can since it's off Megaupload, Rapidshare, etc.)
2. Search for those soundtracks in Waffles and download the torrent files only if they exist.
3. Now, I only use uTorrent so bear with me. Open up the torrent file you downloaded, find the directory where the music is and make sure to uncheck "Start torrent."
4. Click OK and find the torrent on your list; do a "Force Re-Check" on it. (Important: If it says 0%, then you do not have the right files from that torrent therefore can't seed it right away so do whatever with those files or delete.) Afterwards, go to the "Files" tab, select every file and choose "Don't download." Why do this, you ask? It's because we don't want to download anything new to hurt our ratio. We only want to seed what we already have.
5. It should say "Finished" once the hash checks are done because you aren't downloading anything in the first place. Then, you can start seeding and pray that there are leechers lurking.
6. To be honest, you can do this with anything like grab things from a tracker you use with a high ratio, see if the files all or parts of it match, and start seeding in Waffles.
P.S. I have to warn you though: It is SO hard to seed in Waffles, you can seed for months and only get one leecher but you're in it for the long run right? No hit and run?

Method 2
As the site's FAQ and introduction states, grab every, I mean every, CD/vinyl/Waffles-approved items in your collection. If Waffles doesn't have it, upload it right away. The first upload is daunting with all their crazy bitrate/quality rules but if you just read through it carefully and meet all the requirements, you'll be seeding in no time.

Also, be sure to check their requests section. Upload anything in your collection that matches peoples' requests and boost your ratios that way.

I hope that helps for Waffles and good seeding. If there's anything I missed or if anyone wants clarification, let me know.

Thats how I did it. Please let me know what you think and if you want to add something to a tracker or write something about a tracker not mentioned I would edit and add it to this post. I think it would be great if we could build this up with all the popular trackers.
I hope this guide will help some new members.

You should also know that I'm not a native english speaker, so if you find some heavy grammar or spelling mistake, please let me know of that too.

Best regards,

WoW I can use the advice of waffle for rest all I can easily get a ratio of 4 with seedbox.. ;)
Well guys if you are a box user and still having difficulty or have a fast connection remember to use RSS feed to download if site allow Porn then chose it as RSS other then that Games are also nice to get buffer from..

I dont think Bitspyder is that hard to seed. Every file I've downloaded i have seeded till 1 ratio. Maybe is the file you download. I have downloaded only medical stuff. So that worked for me.

I can't speak for What, but I can speak for Waffles. I've noticed a few things that I will share with you since this is a pretty giving and helpful community. Yes, Waffles is really uptight about their uploaded torrent quality and understandably so but in order to get started, here are a few things you can already do without having to download off Waffles.

great tutorial m8

i also used to download FLAC from other sites and uploading it on Waffles and What :) i uploaded about 25GB on each tracker easily with my home connection!! (upload max. 100 KB/s) so yeah thats the way to build your ratio on these two trackers and you wont have to worry about your ratio anymore :)) except if you're downloading FLAC for yourself from there :p

he he I uploaded 3gb application files on waffle and was able to get 1-2 leech have uploaded 3-4 Gb...<3 thanks for the idea..
