ScT : How can I get a good ratio?

[rocknrule]

I found out that it is very difficult in getting a buffer cushoin at ScT. I've always jumped into the latest uploaded torrents, but failed to get even 0.7 ratio. Whereas some users have already moved onto a seed status in a few minutes. How did it happen? Please tell me what you think about this matter. Thanks.

Because majority they're using 100mbit? If you download their latest uploaded torrent & a lot of people download it, you should have a better ratio, but if it's still failed, go get a better connection

or just use a tracker where it is easier to maintain a decent ratio (TL, RevTT, FTN etc)

i too had the same problem keeping up.. i got myself a seedbox and had RSS set up on utorrent, so it automatically downloads all the new torrents as soon as it comes out..

if you cant afford a seedbox, then i suggest you download part of the torrent (like download one rar file only) and seed it as much as possible..

hope this helps.. good luck mate

To many seedbox's to compete with, thats your problem.

You can always grab the torrent from another site like scc with faster pretimes and then hash it @ scenetorrents. But imo it's not worth it. If you can't keep up with the boxes find another tracker that fits you better

Seed old torrents...
Since seedboxes have limited HD space, fast peers often delete new torrents quickly, leaving behind people with average/good connections. When someone comes along you should be able to get a decent upload going.

yeah aburyach is right, seed old torrents if u faild with the new ones.

[KevinGarnet]

in ScT a lot of users have very fast connection so to keep good ratio is really hard.. but if you seed only peaces of torrents and old torrents you should keep good ratio..

i wonder how many users have a seedbox on that site, the speeds are just ridiculous.
