Thread: Help with ratio on REVTT

I would like to ask if someone have any sugestion for me how to improve ratio on revtt, i got seedbox ( thanks freu0047 ), and i was browsing revtt and be mistake downloaded wrong torrent, i didnt pay attetion, i put torrent to download and go to sleep, in the morning when i open seedbox page, i saw that i downloaded 6gb and uplodaded nothing, so now mine ratio is bad :/ i allredy got warning, i know that tv shows are popular and that i must jump in as soon are they uploaded to tracker. if someone can suggest me how to improve ratio, i would be greatful.. Bye

Cross-seed some popular torrents, get them from IPT or any easy to seed tracker.

ok, I understand your problem because I had a similar problem with TL... I know, from my experience, when U finally get a seedbox, U expect that everything will be great but having a seedbox is just one essential part of the whole picture & that picture is having a good ratio... the other part is knowing how to use a seedbox...

according to that, in the beginning, do NOT jump on these torrents :

1. torrents that have 3 or more seeders eventhough there are, apparently, tens of leechers waiting because it's matter of time when the number of seeders will be doubled, tripled and so on... U must also understand that U're not the only one with a seedbox, in fact, there are hundreds of users using seedboxes, not to mention users which home connection speed is equal or even better than yours... so, when U want to jump on some torrent that has been recently uploaded, U must take in consideration 3 factors : when was it uploaded, how many seeders are there & how big is your torrent... basically, the best way to understand my words is to practice & gain some experience by it...

2. big packs ( 10-20 Gb ) because they are full of partial seeders... partial seeders are the ones who haven't downloaded the whole file but just a small part of it... so, eventhough it may look that there are thousands of leechers, believe me, those leechers practically don't exist so your upload amount will be poor...

3. torrents which aren't so popular... to see which torrents are popular & which aren't, browse a little bit through them & look @ the number of time that they have been downloaded... for example, some popular torrents are : The Walking Dead, Desperate Housewives, Inception etc... in short, with the newest movies & the newest epizodes of some series, U will never go wrong...

about your current situation, as someone has mentioned before, try to cross-seed to compensate your loss... cross-seeding means a situation when U have, for example the movie Inception ( let's, say axxo dvd rip ) on your HDD which U have downloaded from IPT, GFT etc... now, when this exact movie ( not just movie, but in the exact format, too ) appears on RevTT, download that torrent from RevTT but when your BT client asks U where U want to save it, as a destination folder choose the one when your previously downloaded movie is situated... after that, your BT client will '' check '' it in BT client windows ( this checking process will probably stop on 99 %... don't worry, this 1 % which U will need to download represents only a .NFO file which is pretty small because almost every tracker assigns its own .NFO file with the same file )...

that's about all I could think of in this moment... if somebody wants to add something, please do...

cheers !

The best option you have mate .. is cross-seeding!!

I faced a worst situation than yours with the same tracker. I just received the invite and thought I would make some buffer there as I have my own seedbox. So I've downloaded a 28 GB pack (hoping I'll upload 3 times of it) even when I didn't need the pack at all. First of all, I was wrong, uploading to revTT is not that easy. I've downloaded the pack in a hour, but uploading wasn't that rocket fast (like I dreamed). And Thanks to God (who is really pissed at me), next morning, my seedbox crashed!!

So, I have around 30 gigs download, no upload, lost the downloaded files, I got 4 mails from revTT threatening me to ban in 7 days if I don't fix my ratio, and I still have to rebuild my seedbox .. tell me if that aint funny!! And worst of all, If I got banned from revTT, pretty much sure that I would also get banned from Torrent-Invited too for hit n run, because a member here gave me the invite.

So I look no further, and started to cross-seed like a Crazy person. Checked the RevTT index every ten seconds, and when there is a big release also available in another tracker, I cross-seeded that instantly. And Thanks to the God (who is so pissed at me), I recovered my ratio to 1:1 ... yeah .. believe it or not, I've uploaded 30 Gigs to revTT in 4 days ..

So your situation is 100 times better than me .. keep seeding, you will be alright.

Thank you very much guys, i will try to do what you suggested. I also got invite here, and wouldnt like to do any damage to my inviter if i get banned.

donate to the site for upload I think if I am not mistaken they are offering double upload, and if not you get 5GB for 5 euros I know it might not be what you want to hear but it is the quickest solution you also get access to the pre channel for your donation and get a chance to build a buffer

Well RevTT was and will always be a hard tracker to keep a 1:1 ratio on it , so to add more on what others members said , keep crop-seeding torrents untill you get a nice buffer :) , this will prevent you from having problems with ratio and everytime you get close to ratio 1 cros-seed again .

Remember you can always seed popular torrents even if they are old ( I usually seed popular games like FIFA, NFS , COD even after 2 months of seeding there are still people downloading ) .

Good luck !

cross-seeding!! basically from TL and IPT
