How do u search for a good ratio torrent?

[tweakz]

Do u look for the newest torrents, do u look for the highest seeded, do u look for highest leeched? I have always wanted to know whats the best method to get a good ratio torrent.
Thanx! :)

[arbaal]

newest ofc and the ones that are to be considered popular and waited for (newest games, movies), it almost always works

[spark]

Just look if it's Heroes or PP :P

[whiteboy]

Highest seeded are the worst. Lots of leechers and few seeders.

And like stated above get on the popular movie and game releases ASAP and you will be happy.

[tweakz]

Oh...i have always gone by the highest seeded...this is why i ask!

[raj3186]

size = max (usually in 50+ GB have few seeds and more number of leechers) and ofcourse through RSS ;)

[fOrUmAs]

well yes newest torrent always have many leechers and seeders,but there also could be find some torrents that need seeders aslo on older torrents..so its very easy to know if some torrent will have both seeders and leechers(games,tv show,movies)

[fstokebanget]

I always sort the leechers, then look for a torrent with size >1GB & < 5GB

[tweakz]

So is it best to look for the most leechers....or what?

[fstokebanget]

yes, but if you found a torrent with many leechers but only has 1 seeder, look closely to the peer listing if you do have access to that and make sure that's still enough leecher that has just started their download, means below 20-30% completed. Also you have to be sure that you have a great connection speed in that case.

but if you have just a home connection up speed, then look for the torrent with many leechers, but also has enough seeders on it

[tweakz]

I have a good connection...but it's such a slow upload i get!!!! My upload should be at least 60kb/s, but i get a lot less than that. So whats the best way for me to search for good ratio torrents? Btw...is it best for me to get music albums or sets, or just plain old tracks?

[sear]

imo if your not jumping on a brand new torrent you know is going to be popular it's best to look for a torrent with a good mix of seeders and leechers. If you go for the one with the most leaches you're likely to get caught short. Many times those leechers are in fact partial seeders and won't be downloading anything off of you.

So what do i look for?

Let me guess...do i look for/ 1st, the newest files/2. most seeders/3. at least 1 leecher....does that sound about right?

Sort of...

1. look for torrents that are new and you know are going to be popular. Learn around what time popular tv shows are upped and grab them asap.

2. on older torrents look for a good mix of seeds and leeches...5/20 something like that.

also if you want to boost your ratio just download a torrent from a site that's easy to seed at and help seed it on another site...just make sure it's exactly the same.

If you're having slow upload speeds might want to check that your ports are forwarded properly as well that's often the problem.

[DanielleD87]

a trick is to grab what you want the second it hits the tracker and seeding it for over a month. even with a slow upload your ratio will go above 1 because most of the people with the seed boxes want to hit and run so if someone wants to download the rls a month after it hits the site they will have to download from you since you will be one of the only seeds left.

[DanielleD87]

most torrent sites will say if you are connectable or not. just check ;)

[tweakz]

Ya they all say I'm Connectable. So i guess I'm being throttled?

[DanielleD87]

isp?


edit: just check yourself http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/Bad_ISPs

[tweakz]

Edit:

[Night0wl]

Try upping something. If you don't get full speed on a new torrent where you are the only seed, then you are definitely being throttled

[tweakz]

I thinki i am. So i guess I'm screwed?

[DanielleD87]

did you even look at the link i posted ??


sheesh :-/

[tweakz]

sheesh :-/
Ya could u please explain that chart to me? I don't know that tech crap...lol

[IceTee]

Another "trick"...
Download the iMDb Top 100 (or 25) (preferbly on a tracker that has Free-Leech) and then seed it on the trackers you wanna boost your ratio :P ;)

[tweakz]

I still would like to know what that chart means? Like am i really being throttled, & screwed!
Btw....what does it mean when I'm seeding and then they say connection closed by peer, or offline timeout...i fuckin HATE THAT!!!!!!

[DanielleD87]

the chart lists the isps then lists how they throttle and what to do to eliminate the throttle.


i'll give you a little hint on how to read the table: look for your ISP then READ IT.

Well what do i download for music sites???:01:

[WarrenBuffet]

Go to Waffles, and download that bob dylan flac torrent or ressta stone, see I have a solution for everything :)

[tibob]

Well, good movies ( games, programs etc.) and also good peers
thats what as an overall view you should look for ( my opinion)

[tweakz]

I AM NOT A FUCKING HE OR A DUDE OR ..... :angry:


the next person who says something like that to me if I find your IP I am going to ddos you, and don't think I can't. It is more the mood I am in at the time.

[tweakz]

I have a off topic question.
Is peer guardian needed in canada, or at all around the world?

[whitmar]

For music sites I've just joined, while I still have low beginning ratios, I look at the torrents that have been snatched the most by clicking on the snatch column sorting header. I then keep an eye out for the most recently uploaded torrents of the same popular artist(s) that has been released this year or last year and try to download it before most of the other leechers so I can be one of the first to seed back to all the rest of them. This usually works very well. Plus, I get introduced to talent I never would have otherwise heard.

[bikernin]

go Danielle go! :D

[Benja]

yes always

[Tsvetanov]

RSS Feeds are best way to make a good ratio - you get newest torrents just when they appear in site

[Scavenger]

Whe new releases appears, as DVDs, that everyone donwloads it, u start downloading it first as fast as u can and then seed to the rest of leechs.

The lady is mad...:lol:

On topic: I always grab the latest torrent......If i am late about 1 hour i will download it on trackers that is not hard to seed.....

[Tsvetanov]

I always grab the latest torrent......If i am late about 1 hour i will download it on trackers that is not hard to seed.....

What if the other trackers dont have this torrent? Will you get it?

It depends on your ratio.... if you have a good ratio there you can get it but if not maybe build some good ratio and then get it...:)

Are you for real man? I remember helping you in a thread about this not too long ago and you said you fixed your throttling issues.

And now you say you are not sure of being throttled :sick:
