Popular files with lots of leechers sooner the better if it's known to be popular.

Or just parts of a files downloaded and seeded to help build your ratio.

This works for many sites not just here downloading everything will only get you banned because you can't seed it.

I'm not a member at that particular place but one strategy could be to browse its torrents by leechers so you can see what's popular. Demand + seeding = better ratio

I wouldn't recommend doing this without common sense. That only works for music torrents which don't give you much ratio in return.. If you find a big program 90% of the leechers have likely downloaded part of the file and are only seeding. Be very wary about this, especially if your only use of the pack/program would be to get ratio.

not really guys like they have said above if he jumps on things that have little seeders he will be alright also i notice video games are good to.

despite what people say, you don't need anything special to seed if you havent got an amazing connection, only some patience. there are plenty of members and if you leave torrents open in your client you'll seed back eventually.

Just grab 2 or 3 rar files (40 to 150 megs) from any xvid or dvdr movie as soon as it is upped, and then seed, seed, seed.

Edit: You Do Not need a seedbox to survive at ScT, just some common sense and some patience.

You don't necessarily need to seed really popular files either, just make sure you jump on some torrents the second they are uploaded. Maybe use the RSS downloader thing too if you're using utorrent (downloads torrents automatically when they are uploaded)

Just download a few .rars after it comes out.

kadake

01-23-2008, 07:25 PM

Setup your RSS , so you start to download the moment its put on site , then you seed back 1:1 quickly , everything after that is all buffer.

but sct is difficult to seed on

napster5

01-23-2008, 07:38 PM

but all that depends on his connection & upload speed he has

most of the users there have a seedbox

so it'll be very hard to seed even if he jumps quickly on new torrents that have little seeders

punki_rach

01-23-2008, 07:38 PM

No it's not, and they only count 75% of your download so just pick the right files and leave them seeding for as long as possible. Easy as.

SgtMajor

01-23-2008, 07:40 PM

Grab very popular files from TL, reseed at ScT for months, gives you the ability to d/l what you need from ScT then, without having to grab files you don't really need.

Polarbear

01-23-2008, 07:43 PM

i don't have a seedbox and have a great ratio and buffer on sct. stop telling people you need seedboxes on this and that tracker. it's simply not true.

there's no tracker out there where you can not keep an excellent ratio without a seedbox.

i have 1mbit upload and have a higher buffer on some trackers than seedbox user i know.

seed as long as you can, have a little patience and you can survive with any pipe on sct.

It's not impossible lol

i don't have seedbox but i can manage to at least 1:1,5 on every torrent that i download..also u have better chance to seed even more if u are fast enough to start downloading at same time when some torrent have been uploaded,also now ScT is even more active than before with new members:D

01-23-2008, 07:55 PM

i dont have seedbox and seeding at sct isn't a problem. and i have only 1mb upload... just sit down, wait for some new torrent(dvd is good), download 1-2 rars and seed. so easy

Tokeman

01-23-2008, 08:01 PM

I dont have a seedbox either, and only 80kb/s upload. Seeding is extremely easy on sct if you are not downloading like crazy. Start by only downloading parts of newer files, and see how your ratio does, based on that you can decide for yourself how much and what to download. No one can tell you what is best for you, just use your best judgment and you'll be fine.

The best of luck to you there, it is one of the best scene trackers for pretimes and has blistering fast speeds.
Get a seedbox!
If you have to go dl from tl to seed to sct. Whats the point! If you have TL you have a better tracker with more files thats easier to seedback. If you dl a topshow the moment it comes out, say simpsons or prison break. Seed it back for 1 week you will be lucky to it .5 ratio. If you don't have a really fast internet connection, money to p2l or access to a seedbox to buffer the account you shouldn't have never taken the invite bro.
good luck

I had only 40 kb for a long time, only recently did it double for me. I had no issues seeding to sct with 40kb/s upload either, it just took more caution.

All you people that are having that many issues seeding are not being wise in what you choose to download, simple as that.

Partial seeding is key. Also download torrents with alot of potential leechers to seeders. Also i would download a movie, game, or tv show from another site then download the same file on sct so you can seed versus's using up dl ratio. It took me a good 3 weeks to get the hang of it. It's tough at first but after alot of thought and getting familar with the site you'll do fine.;)

How do I select the .rars that I wan't to download? (for partial seeding).

Shinigami

Just wait until they have triple upload and free leech on. Could take half a year but I waited for that aswell, got nice buffer now :P

briand5379

01-24-2008, 10:34 PM

I don't think there's much of a reason to use the site if you don't have a fast upload. Just stick with sites like RTT and TL.

I don't have a seedbox, I have a 6mbit connection with Comcast and a 30kb upload speed.

I have 35 GB up and 6 down. I wouldn't say that it's impossible without a seedbox.

grimms

01-24-2008, 11:59 PM

Untrue i became PU in 4 weeks with just a regular connection (no seedbox) I have around 50GB up and like 6 GB's down or something.

aysomc

01-25-2008, 12:23 AM

i never had a probelm without a seedbox and that was before their new rules with 3/4 counting on download so if you have 50 kb/s or higher upload you should be fine as long as you're smart.

grimms

01-25-2008, 01:28 AM

I still haven't download anything from sct since the 3/4 downloads rule came into effect. I'm still confused about why. I guess it doesn't matter i got a ton of stuff i'm seeding from there anyways.

U can always use those special occasions to improve Your ratio. What do I mean? SCT - BD-party, Xmas-time etc. Those are some great opportunities for boosting Your ratio.

But it wasn't triple. :lol: I guess, it didn't work the way they expected. So they extended the freeleech.

silhoutte

01-25-2008, 11:26 AM

I didn't get a triple upload in any of my torrents-not even double. Nor i heard from someone getting more than double. Anyway, it wasn't 1:1 for sure. The staff knows better.

Swax

01-25-2008, 12:10 PM

Everything your download only counts as 3/4 now anyway, so it's even easier to keep a ratio.

As mentioned before it's not hard to keep a ratio when you have a 40kb/s upload, I managed it for 2 years easily.

It's idiots that join up and immediately download 100GB of porn or movie packs, then realise they're screwed and think it's impossible to get a ratio without a seedbox.

If your upload speed isn't good then just be careful what you download. Simple.

Oh, triple upload and double upload probably won't happen again, maybe once a year, but I doubt it.
The same with free leech really, too many people only download during FL and build up a huge buffer they never use, so it's detrimental to the site.

grimms

I think there not doing free leech or double upload due to the site only being used during those times. It's not good for a tracker if people only make use of it when theres FL and double upload. I know it helps members for ratios etc but in the end it has a negative impact on the tracker if users are not using it after those periods.

and if you find maintaing the ratio hard , quit using that site

find another site where you can easily seed like TL . after all the 0day trackers have the same content ;)

chicus

01-25-2008, 01:58 PM

Dl some rars from the movie packs as soon as they are uploaded and seed !! Games, HD movies or new movies (like hitman) are also verry good for your ratio !

Try downloading just part of the rar's, if it is a rar seperated file. Then just seed a few sections of it.

Sylar666

When U jump on a new torrent than u are part of the swarm. Then the race begins: the faster, the better. And Bittorrent protocol by nature favors the faster. That means that the members of the swarm are more likely to download from the faster seeder. In this case SCT is full of Gigabit - servers. They just kill the average seeder, and virtually there is no chance to seed a considerable amount back - unless if U seed for weeks.

I have been seeding 24/7 and 7 days a week for a couple of months now. This has given me a ratio of 1,5 on 200 gig downloaded. I now have a little buffer and i feels nice to have, i have to do this cause of my crappy upload.
