what is the tracker you are using from what Ican see people are talking about on reddit torrentleech seems rough for people with no seedbox
The alternative way of building ratio is by permaseeding files and then using points to buy more ratio. There are tons of freeleech files on there that you can download and seed but you can't do it by seeding 3 hours a day and then shutting your PC off. This will apply to just about every private tracker.
Thanks for reminding me of points. Since I started using Sonarr I don’t go to the main page anymore to spend them so I forgot.
This is what I do on ipt, my ratio is insane because the 24/7 seeding + redeeming points. Def the way to go if you can swing it.
This is the correct way to build up your profile with them, I did something similar with ebooks on myanonymouse, at any given time they have like 100 free leech torrents available (things that you can download that don’t negatively affect your ratio but do still count as hit and runs if you don’t seed for the required amount of time). And they cycle out the free leech offering weekly. So I was quickly able to build up a base of about 300 tiny torrents that I set to permaseed in my qbit earning me about 100ish points an hour.
Then like dude above said you can use the points to buy a bunch of ratio in your favour, so you can download giant torrents, on myanonymouse you can also buy free leech tokens so you can spend them on any torrent and then that torrent doesnt ruin your ratio. Great for huge downloads. You can also buy seed time for torrents that are about to reach hit and run status.
Easiest way is to have a computer like a home server you leave on all the time so it can sit there with qbit open earning you points all day with very little impact to the network. Also considering that you earn points per download you leave seeding it doesn’t really make sense to delete the download unless you have no intention of consuming the content again.
And if you are worried about doubling up the download and a copy of it in your nicely organised plex folder, there are ways around that to stay space efficient.
These strats are a little out of reach though if your only computer is a laptop with a meh sized hard drive though, honestly it might make it almost impossible to remain a user in good standing with private trackers. Short of spending real money with them in a pay to play sort of deal.
Though if we are just talking tv and movies and anime, I personally dont see any reason to use anything other than 1337x and nyan
Slow downloads, unseeded files, no results found?
We must be searching for different kinds of content because pretty much everything I add to my watchlists get downloaded. Admittedly I am using prowlarr, sonarr, and radarr to do all my crawling for me so my first grabs might be coming from other trackers before being replaced by my favourite encoders on 1337x
