    Yeah, that's my strategy. I have to time it just right. If I wait too long after the show release then no leechers. At least I know what to do now

    That's what I do... I select the most leeched DVD or game, but I don't waste my time downloading the whole torrent...
    I just select 1 .rar file from that DVD or game torrent (which is usually about 47 MB average), download it, then seed it...
    Why download just 1 .rar file and not the whole torrent? Well, I don't really have a fast upload speed. I just let it upload for 32 kBps max and it ends up uploading to leechers for an average of 2-3 GB a day... If you add that up, that's about 20 GB of upload in a one week...
    But if you have a really fast upload speed, then obviously just download the whole shit and seed it.

    BitmeTV you jump on ealy and hold on tight.

    also put you max torrents to upload to one so you are maxing out your connetion on that one torrent.

    That's a definate no-no in my book. Almost always there are a few tv shows to boost at BitmeTV every night. I would get 2-3 from somewhere you can seed back easily (TL) and has decent pres or where you have a buffer that you could use and then seed ALL of those shows at TV.

    I definately wouldn't upload on 1 torrent max. You're upload will die fairly quickly.

    I only leave it at one upload on very popular torrents and only leave it for as long as I am maxing out on it, so I do have to monitor it. I always seed back very quickly that way and always get a good ratio.

    Your method sounds good too, what do you have to do unpack it and you can leave it in the same folder or you have to create a new folder - due to most sites using rar's?
