How do you maintain multiple accounts?

[saimer]

Not sure if this question had been asked. But I had this question in mind for quite a while.

I'm used to have only one movie tracker for HD movies, and am very happy with it. Lately I was looking for some good appz/ebook/e-learning tracker as I was so tired of spending days to dl infected/fake packs from public tracker. So I joined TL. Then yesterday I got hit by luck (or not?), signed in BMTV, also learnbits. Didn't find much interested stuff in both TL or learnbits though. So I may continue to look for other sites, i.e. BitMe(?) or ScT(?), not sure if they have the contents I need. None of these sites is easy to seed though.

While hanging around here, saw many members have many trackers. So I'd like to ask for the tips - if I don't want to pay for the seedbox, with around 50-80k up speed, and can't seed 7/24 all the time, is it possible to maintain multiple accounts including above mentioned?

Appreciate any of your comments.

Just manage your torrents effectively. Be wary of your bandwidth/space limitations; you may not be able to download everything you want at once, so you may need to plan out what you download preemptively. A lot of trackers just require you to browse the page to maintain activity, but just to be safe try to run a torrent on each of your trackers per week.

The main thing to avoid is overextending yourself; downloading too much and not being able to seed it back. If you avoid that, I think you'll be able to handle it.

[kooftspc11]

just try and consolidate

1 0-day tracker
1 tv tracker maybe
1 music tracker

this way you dont have to worry about distributing your bandwidth and all that crap. just download what you want and let it go. the more trackers you have the more time you will waste filling a redundant cycle of ultimate pointlessness

You will still have to manage your bandwidth, even on one site. ;)

Can you be more specific on managing bandwidth integral? Even joined the tracker for more than 9 mths, I feel myself still a newbie to torrenting. :ermm: I'm currently seeding almost all movies downloaded since day 1, which will cause the space issue sooner or later. But not sure which one I should delete first to site's favorite.

Also thanks kooftspc11, that's my plan - once sort out the sites in need, I'll stick to them, and be a good member there.

Managing your bandwidth pretty much means using it efficiently; for example, if you download 5GB worth of data from new torrents on a tracker in one day, but your upload speed is too small to seed back fast enough, you might only be able to seed back 3GB, not close to a 1:1 ratio. So managing your bandwidth means downloading stuff you are positive you can seed back to a 1:1 ratio, or even more.

not really....time trumps any sort of management necessary to maintain a good ratio

for me anyways

[saulin]

I just visit the trackers I might use so that the accounts don't get disabled by inactivity. As for how to survive on trackers, well partial seeding may work on some trackers but not on all of them. A good example is BitmeTV. It's very hard to seed there. So do the same as how it was at Oink. The best way to survive is by uploading your own stuff or getting something from somewhere else and seeding it at this tough to seed sites.

However having to worry about ratio or having to worry about how keep a good ratio at a tracker is not my thing. That's why I rather use Usenet or Rapidshare forums before having to use torrents.

Now, on trackers like ScT "if there are others like it" are almost imposible to seed because their pre times are fast so getting stuff somewhere to seed there is an option but is not as efficient. By the time you start seeding there, there are lots of seeders already. I have never seen speeds as fast as the speeds of ScT. You could download at 4 Megabytes/s but only upload at 2-3kB/s. I'm not joking!

Never thought this way before :blink: My oldest torrent was from Oct. 2007, and the ratio is only 0.792. Had some torrents from Nov. 2007 and rations are still lower than 0.5. FL and bonus points are the reasons I survive in HDBits.

Guess I'd better stay away from ScT then. Do they have FL there? And how about BitMe?

Don't understand what's the point to download from somewhere else and seed there (though I'm doing so to boost ratio in TL). If I can find the stuff from somewhere else, why should I keep the site can't actually make use of?

Yep I personally think just ratio is bullshit. You can't just get 1:1 ratio on every torrent and some torrents can be huge and some very small. So the best trackers are those with verly low ratio requirements and/or a seed point system. Blackat-Games has the best seed point system ever created. You can download all you want and never worry about ratio just disk space.

Basically as long as you seed the torrent you will get seed points, even if no one is downloading from you and after so many hrs your ratio becomes 1:1 even if you only uploaded 5% of the torrent or nothing at all.

Why other trackers have not implemented this system? well, that beats me!!

[dunson]

I couldn't keep up with the many accounts I had, so I started limiting myself to using only a handful. But I use a seedbox, so my ratios are redic.

Your speeds suck, so I would stay away from good sites like SCT and stick to larger sites that will allow you to keep seeding a few days/weeks later. TL is good for that I hear. And if you can't find stuff you like there, don't bother looking elsewhere, since that is a massive general site.

[mrnobody]

Don't get into trackers that you will not use at all. Say, if you aren't into elearning then trackers like bitme, docs etc isn't for you. If you already have an account there, try deleting them (/delacct.php or they might have delete account on request...pm staff for that). If that option isn't available just let your account purge off.

0-day - i would say 2-3 tracker is enough. My pick would be somewhere along FTN, as it is ratio free. And since my upload is in the range (50- 80 ) i know how troublesome + boresome + frustrating + irritating can ratio thingy be. Imo, if you are into 0-day stuff FTN should be your best option :-) Apart from that, you could use TL or Revtt, ratio isn't that tough there even with 50 - 80. Also, you prolly could survive in ScT as well. Like if you have enough disk space, just seed of packs (all packs are freeleech btw).

music tracker - you will prolly need one among what or waf and if you are into trance/techno, you prolly could use TT...and if you are into lossless u could extend to pedros.

elearning - at most want to sign up for 3 trackers namely - bitme, docs, and bitspyder.a

HDMovies - HDbits, which i suppose you are already member of.


So from categories you mentioned u would have total of -

0-day = 1-3

music = 1-3

elearning = 1-3

hd = 1

maximum = 10.

[RedRansom]

Ummm
i can suggest you only keep best tracker (of cource for you) what i wanna say ...
only one 0day-scene tracker for example if you have you ScT dont need TL,Scc,revtt,tb like this same .if you have TL you dont need Scc,revtt,tb...
and of course keep what.cd give up waffles:P
and if i were you i would try to rent a server only for a month you can upload nearly 5 TB if you have a friend 2-2.5tB ahh not bad:P
25 euro monthly with friend 12.5 not too expensive :)
after you buffer your best trackers you can only seed with 50-60KB and keep seed with 48-72 H ....

wtf? 10 is way too much

[saimer]

wow, squirr3l, 10 is beyond my imagination too much!
I'm ok with HDBits, and waiting for the chance of SDBits for SD movies as I f*ked up with invite. :stupido::( Quite comfortable with their ratio system so I believe I can manage these two sites.

I'm also safe with TL now. Will keep it for 0-day stuff. Heard so many good things about FTN, I wish I could have it one day.

Not a big music fan so won't bother to get what or wfm.

Only lack of good e-learning. Wish I can have BitMe someday. So total will be 5.

Didn't count BitMeTV yet. Just signed in, and finished reading 10 recommands, will stay in shelter for a while see how it's going. Will ask staff to delete acct if can't handle.

wtf? 10 is way too much

I'm active on 27.

1 Russian
1 French
2 general tv

2 0-day
3 general movies
2 rare movies
2 HD
2 general music
1 indie music
2 metal music
1 game
1 ipod
4 porn

The key is to seed indefinitely. I'm utilizing all of these and seeding at almost all of these (except the porn, because those hit a really high ratio early in the seeding process)

If you are using it, then why not? I see where I could be with only 1 HD tracker, or 1 metal tracker, by the way. It's just that I recently signed up to those sites and found something unique on all of them - and so far cannot pick just one.

We can have another topic then. Have you watched all movies dl'ed? Do you play all games? Can you read all ebooks and complete all CBTs, or at least majority of them? Do you feel once a while downloaded too much enjoyed too little. hehe ...

like i said 10 is the maximum u would need. Since you are not a big music fan, erase the music category. So, now the max would be 7.

At the moment, i think TL will be best 0-day source for you, stick with it. At the meantime, work your way to FTN or maybe ScT.

Also, have you checked docs torrents yet? Seems to be open sign up atm the moment docs.torrents.ro/signup.php and it would be one among three elearning tracker (other two being bitme and bitspyder) that i would recommend.

btw at bitmetv, they do not delete your account upon request, so i heard. You can request your account to be disabled however. And it likely will be pain in ass to seed there, unless u manage to upload ur own stuff.

Active means just having one torrent seeding at a specific tracker. You don't need to download something there everyday to be active on it. You could probably manage 30 trackers in about a half hour; check what's new, snatch a torrent you want, etc. Doesn't take too much work.

[saimer]

Thank you squirr3l, will check docs out.

[Nemrod]

It´s easy if you use some techniques and have some time free, and time for start your adjustments.
Now I am active in 7/8 sites but I was active and with excellent ratios in about... 20+ trackers and it was relatively easy to stay without problems.
There´s something you must keep on mind: download just what you are really going to use, and look for options... there´s always some site with freeleech, or it´s worth to wait 1 or 2 days to download from a site where you have good ratio and not from that where you are in risk.
To establish a good buffer that allows you to live without stress is something that takes huge patience, some time and a lot of HD space.

LOL. It does look like a lot but if you break it down, it's really not as much as it seems.

The Russian tracker is primarily used for my gf, and I've only used it a couple times for porn and music.

The French one I use often for porn and music.

The e-learning I use for history books and language learning and maths and programming references. The material retreived from this tracker takes up the most of my time, to be honest. The psychology/health tracker is used less than I'd like, but it has come in handy before.

One of the TV trackers is used every weekday, the other is used on the weekend, and the UK one is used about every two-three weeks or possibly more - If I'm going to be on a flight I'll pickup a unique british miniseries or two.

0-day, these are used a lot less now that I've gotten into a lot of niche trackers - however, I still use them for software and packs and for when I'm looking for something 0 day.

Movie trackers are because I'm a movie buff and watch about 3 a week. Divide that from all my movie trackers because I use them equally.

Music trackers because I listen to music all day at work and a usually when doing homework.

Game tracker is useful like once a month for me when I do have some freetime and I'm not doing anything else.

ipod tracker is for preparing for flights.

porn, well can you ever have enough?

[Funkin']

You only need about five trackers. One for each category. And since I think I read you're not big on music, then you don't really need a music tracker. So only about four trackers you need.

Try to stick with that. There is absolutely no reason to have a ton of trackers.

[SgtMajor]

Re: How do you maintain multiple accounts?

It helps having multiple identities.

[lukee]

im active on 3.


SceneHD-x264
SCC-mostly for their awesome packs :)
TL-XviD and X360 games.

I use soulseek for all my music needs :) (its not a tracker, its a p2p program)

[saimer]

so basically
1. keep good trackers only and make sure use them effectively and be smart
2. time + patience + hdd space

Hi SgtMajor, how're you? ... what do you mean about multiple identities?

[dunson]

3 pet monkeys and a seedbox

[WarrenBuffet]

Re: How do you maintain multiple accounts?

My thoughts exactly.

[sai]

thanks for all the information.

[saimer]

hmmm, if I didn't get it wrong, it's a big risk to lose them all.

[grimms]

Basically take suggestions from each of the posts that has already offered suggestions and don't over download or seed too much.

Try to limit how much you download and upload at once especially with the specified speeds you mentioned and you should be able to manage multiple accounts.

[kondrae]

seed 24/7
seed torrents for long periods of time - might need large harddrive for this
download torrents that you want as soon as they come out if possible
dont dl large packs you wont be able to seed back
use bonus points/FL to your advantage

other options:
upgrade to fast pipe
get seedbox for a month

[DikTation]

Maybe you should do more research into trackers before joining them so you don't waste invites/accounts..

Also i have a very slow connection... so i got a seed box :D works great... even when i didn't i still use to seed as much as i could which i guess was the way i maintained multiple accounts.

[maxitout]

I wouldn't try to do it without a seedbox, simply said. If you can't spare around 15$ a month why would you bother all the time managing multiple trackers?

Either put in way more time and effort, or get a seedbox, save a few bucks and save yourself tons of energy and time...

[abe171]

Lately I was looking for some good appz/ebook/e-learning tracker as I was so tired of spending days to dl infected/fake packs from public tracker. So I joined TL.

Appreciate any of your comments.

It depends on the tracker rules

most trackers will not disable your account if you login at least once a month.

I usually pick a small torrent (just a few kb in size) and seed it everyday(for a few hours) just to keep my accounts active.

And yes i don't have a seed box, my upload speed sucks( max up speed:25 kb/s) and i can't seed 24/7

[grimms]

Good technique abe171.

[abe171]

one of the best technique :happy:

Cos none of my accounts(on 30 trackers) are disabled :)

I know in another place that I frequent they are big fans of roboform. But yeah, I try to keep downloading and visiting all my favorites for fear of losing them too!

[nemesis01]

a lot of my accounts were getting hammered ratio-wise not too long ago, then I had a period where I don't leech a lot at all so I just use a seedbox to dl a torrent, seed it to some ridiculous level (ratio wise) then seed that on another tracker without having to DL again, works for me.

[DuDutchy]

There's no need for 10 trackers.
ScT, TL, What, BMTV and Demonoid should cover all your needs...

[ryan20021982]

ScT, TL, What, BMTV and Demonoid should cover all your needs...

Maybe for you yes, what if someone is into HD movies, Scene Movies
TV Shows, Music, Games????

Would need more than those to get what ya want I have around 12 that I use all the time

[colbert]

You really only need one tracker in each category, e.g. 1 tracker each for games, 0-day, music, porn etc. Some trackers cover all of those, so you possibly could only need 1 tracker! It's nice to have more trackers if you're really into one category over others like multiple gaming sites if you like games a lot, but it really is not necessary.

You really don't need any tracker. And there isn't anything wrong with having membership in more than one specialized tracker, as long as you can handle being a productive member in each; what if I only had an account on BCG, but they didn't have that Teletubbies game I've been searching extensively for, but bitGamer did?! :cry: Then I'd be out of luck (notwithstanding request-making abilities).

When it comes down to it, each tracker is offering at least one thing different; may it be the content, seeding rules, and of course the people. It is up to the individual to decide what they need.
