View Full Version : BitTorrent 10 Tips and Tricks for Private BitTorrent Sites

On private torrent sites, everything revolves around ratios. A 1:1 ratio (or 1.0) means that you’ve downloaded exactly the same amount of data as you’ve uploaded. Thus a 0.80 ratio indicates that you’ve uploaded less than you’ve downloaded, which is hurtful to the health of the torrent. Inversely, a 3.0 ratio means you’ve uploaded 3 times more data than you’ve downloaded. Strive to achieve at least a 1.0 ratio - each site will have specific consequences for members who maintain a ratio of less than this. Attain a ratio over 1.0 and the rewards shall follow you into the P2P afterlife.
If you’re brand-new to a private site, it will be difficult in the beginning to acquire a 1.0 ratio. Luckily, users are given a ‘grace’ period to achieve this. Since there are so many more seeds than leechers (a total flip-flop from public BT sites), it becomes harder to upload to others - due to the fact that there are fewer people to share with.
So why go through all the trouble to keep an honest ratio? Because deep down, you’re an upstanding denizen of file-sharing society! Aside from that shameless pat-on-the-back, good ratios offer many perks, including an upgraded account on the tracker (i.e. VIP status), higher download speeds, free “invites” for your friends, and no waiting periods associated with accounts in arrears.
Here are Ten Tips to get your ratio in top-shape as fast as possible:

1. Start out with Smaller Files
Initially, opt for smaller (i.e. under 1 GB) files for downloading. This gives you a greater chance of someone coming along after you and downloading the same torrent (and you’ll be able to upload to them). Obviously a 700MB movie file will be more appealing to other site members than a 30GB ‘Blu-Ray’ rip.

2. Jump on the ‘Newly Released’ torrents
This is a great tip for increasing your ratio in a hurry. Camp out in your favorite private BT site, and refresh the torrent listings frequently. Newly added entries will have many more leechers than seeds, so you’ll be able to share (upload) more data. To maximize this tip, select smaller files - the “TV Episode” category works great for this.

3. Select Files that have a High “L” or upload number
This is important. When selecting torrents, base your initial selections on a high number of leechers (the more, the better). This will ensure you have many avenues to upload to during (and after) the transfer. When starting out on a new private BT site, we would even go so far as to say that you should download torrents that you don’t want - just start grabbing torrents that have lots of leechers. Once your ratio get over the 1:1 (1.0) mark, delete them.
TIP: If one of your seeding torrents remains popular, leave it running in µtorrent permanently. This will always help to boost your upload ratio.

4. Avoid “Zero-Leech” torrents
When you’re new to a private site, steer clear of the ‘zero-leech’ torrents - it is impossible to increase your share ratio when there are no other downloaders. When viewing a list of torrents, look for the “Leecher” column (or just “L”) and avoid anything that has a zero ( “0″ ) in it. After your account ratio has become relatively stable, now is the time to snag whatever you want.

5. Leave some tasks running in uTorrent
After the completed download of a torrent, leave the task running (as a seed) in µtorrent to increase your upload statistics. Don’t delete (or move) the files of a running task! You can, however, extract (unRAR) the files, or copy the files from one place to the next. In the event of a movie/video file - you’ll be able to “burn” or “extract” the *.avi file (or even play it on the PC) without affecting the seeding torrent.
TIP: Always keep a few things running as ’seeds’ in your BT client. If you notice that they aren’t uploading, replace them with newer ones.

6. Go for the “Freebie” downloads
Many private sites will offer “free” torrents that won’t count against your download statistics (thus, your ratio will remain unchanged). Grab these freebies - especially when searching for torrents on a new account.

7. Use ‘Credits’ to purchase…
A popular feature among superior private BitTorrent sites is the addition of a ‘credits’ feature for account holders. Credits can be used to ‘purchase’ VIP status, increased sharing ratios and other perks. Not all sites are the same, but some credits can be acquired just from staying active in their IRC channel, or from just having the torrents available for download in your BT client.

8. Do NOT try to “cheat” the Private Trackers
There are a variety of ratio cheating tips available out there, but don’t be tempted. Trackers are fairly sophisticated and ever-evolving. If you get caught cheating, you won’t even be warned - it’s a permanent ban for you and bye-bye for good.

9. Set a proper Upload Limit
Setting a proper upload limit in the BT client makes all the difference! You’ll want to supply a high enough limit to maximize uploading, but not have it eat into your download bandwidth. The general rule is to set it at 80 - 85% of your upload limit. To figure this out, visit www.speedtest.net (http://www.speedtest.net/) and conduct the simple test. Results are shown in kilobits, so divide the result by 1/8 and then multiply that by 0.85. This will give you the proper number in KB/s (KiloBytes).
In µtorrent (http://www.utorrent.com/), go to OPTIONS > Preferences… > Connection and enter your upload rate. Click “Apply” and then “OK” to save the changes. While your in that same ’settings’ page, make sure to use a port number from the good list (e.g. 49152 - 65535).

10. And if all else fails…donate
Most sites allow for monetary contributions to keep up with the server costs. If you enjoy a particular site immensely but cannot seem to be able to approach a decent sharing ratio (due to turning off your computer at night, going to work, or sharing your computer with your kids, wife, husband or siblings), think about donating. In most cases even a not-so-generous gratuity will robustly affect your account status - plus you’ll feel good about helping out the BitTorrent community.

Other Tips - Follow “The Rules”
Yeah, we know: you hate rules! That’s why you probably moved out of your parents’ basement. Rules are probably why some turned to P2P.
Nevertheless, rules are an important aspect to private BT sites - they ensure healthy torrents and blazing-fast download speeds for all. Each site will have their “rules” posted - the link is usually not hard to find. Below are some general rules / tips that pertain to any private BitTorrent site:

Use an ‘Accepted’ BitTorrent client
Not all private trackers are the same - and each one has different rules in regards to which BitTorrent client is on the “allowable” list. Most sites recommend µtorrent (http://www.utorrent.com/), but only specific versions (or builds) of it. If you stick with v1.6.1 or the latest version v1.7.7 (recommended), you can’t go wrong with ANY private site (avoid any versions in between these numbers). And do not use BitComet on private trackers.

Proper BitTorrent client configuration:
Many trackers recommend that you disable DHT and Peer Exchange (PEX) in your BT client’s settings. To do this in µtorrent, go to OPTIONS > Preferences… > and select the BitTorrent tab. Remove the three checkmarks that pertain to DHT and PEX (see image below):

http://torrentfreak.com/images/utorrent_1.gif

Do not ‘Hit & Run’ a Private BT site:
A ‘Hit & Run’ (or H&R) is when someone joins a private tracker, and downloads as much as they can before making off without uploading to a proper ratio. While this practice is frowned upon even on public sites such as mininova.org (http://www.mininova.org/), it is deplorable to private sites. This can (and sometimes will) lead to your IP address being banned from the site - forever.
Stick within these guidelines for HAPPY Torrenting!

Great tip, any thoughts on how to get an invite from a private BT site :) I was told that BiteMe.ORG was one of the best for educational torrents, and HDBits.org for HD viewing pleasures... but have no idea how to begin to find a member let alone get an invite. It seems wrong to foster friendship just to get an invite.

Thanks for the guide. I have a question related to that - how can I limit download speed of a partially downloaded torrent or set it to zero, while not limiting upload speed?

This comes in handy if I am a new member on a tracker. Suppose I started downloading a torrent and then realized that it is too big so my ratio will suffer a lot if I continue. It is seeding well, and I just want to pause download until I upload enough. I opened torrent properties and limited download speed but this resulted in uploads slowing down also.

anon
05-02-2010, 04:15 PM
Can someone point me to a link explaining why I should disable DHT?

This is my stance on the "disable DHT because it leaks info and upload" statement, posted on another forum:

All tracker says you disable it, and that it doesn't matter if your client respects the private flag, because with DHT/PEX you can "leak" info about torrents, "upload to other people outside of tracker X", etc.

This is FALSE. If a torrent has the private flag set to 1 (as all .torrents from ALTs do), clients won't "leak" anything about it, or upload to other people "outside" of the tracker. I really don't know why they tell you to disable both. (Anyone can of course connect and upload/download from you if they have the correct info_hash/IP/port combo. BitTorrent wasn't meant to be a secure/anonymous protocol.)

The only good reasons to disable DHT are (in my opinion):

avoiding router/connection crashes created by the extra connections
saving bandwidth if you're using your client to download from ALTs only


So, in short:
If you're having router crashes when running uT, disable DHT.
If you download from ALTs only, disable DHT.

If you're not having any router issues, and are also using the same uT instance to download from public trackers, keep DHT enabled.

I really don't know why most tracker staff will tell you to disable DHT and PEX, when it simply doesn't come into effect for private torrents.

Kryatle
07-11-2010, 11:02 PM
Though it is smarter to normally get something which is a smaller size, if you do know that something is going to be very popular, example when MW2 was being released, you can download that and seed it until it runs dry, you'll probably end up with a ratio of 1:3 or even higher depending on your connection. :)

haha, funny when you blunder into a ratio-watched tracker and download too much on the first session - getting the "you are in ratio watch, if you do not upload <this> before <that time> you'll lose all your download priviledges, have a nice day" - you learn this stuff pretty quick

If the site allows user uploads, definitely go that route and you're guaranteed upload every time.

Good guide, though I always kept the upload to 70% of max UL speed, 85% seems like sailing very close to the limits. I'm woried that others might do some minor uploding like photobucket stuff on my wifi connection and flip the upload to max and jerk the internet connection about a little bit.

thanks to the guide as i was just introduced to this. I was wondering if the guide is still current and the accepted protocol for torrenting? Will the DHT and peer thing affect public trackers like piratebay?

Will the DHT and peer thing affect public trackers like piratebay?

Certainly. In fact, The Pirate Bay's tracker ceased to exist some years ago because DHT and PEX could replace it quite well.

All good advice that remains valid to this day, with the exception of the "disable DHT" myth. Private torrents are flagged as such, and all modern clients will forcibly disable DHT and PEX for them. The only reason to turn them off by hand is if you don't have any public torrents at all and therefore no need whatsoever for those features.

The article does, however, downplay the importance of permaseeding and doesn't mention cross-seeding at all, even though they're both highly recommended and effective.

I think an other legitimate reason to uncheck DHT & PLEX is proxy usage in the torrent client. Depending on the client and the way its user has set it up, IP leaks may happen when DHT & PEX are activated.

Using proxies to torrent is like putting tracks on a bicycle. Get a good VPN with port forwarding and set up interface bindings correctly :)
