Is it worth it to donate to private trackers?

I agree that forcing everyone to have a seedbox just in order to survive in a tracker would be doomsday indeed! I observe it becoming a trend in very high level trackers where a lot of members have a seedbox!

So the future is: get a seedbox or donate? :(

NO . i think there should b exception for low bandwidth users like some specific time of seeding like 60 hours or 1.1 ratio . the later can b achieved if we ll go on to partial seeding or seed the popular torrents .
about 70% of us are students and r not earning , thats y our parents have to pay for our bandwidth and in some cases for our seedboxes too .
but as the time ll pass on we ll move to professional life where we can bear high bandwidth bills or seedboxes .
so there is nothing about to worry . cheer up guys . :cool:

If no one ever donated how would trackers survive?

And MisterSister sorry to hear about your friends trouble.You can never be to careful it seems.

Agreed though that seeding time should take precedence over everthing else.

MisterSister, I think giving your credit card information online is dangerous. You never know whoever got hold of the number could have used it for any other purpose.

How about donating thru PayPal? Would it be safer if the major objection is security and credit card theft?

i agree payal is the best way :D

Honestly? In your situation? It's similar to my mines but my upload rate is not as horrible. I would invest in seedbox access for a month or two and buff your accounts up alittle bit. If thats not where you want to go, then just donate. Not only will you'll be getting upload credit, but you'll also be helping out the tracker. It's up to you.

I think there are plenty of alternatives:

1. Use public tracker

2. If you don't like public tracker, then try semi-private (semi-public) tracker as Torrent-Damage. Some of them are targeted to people who find it difficult to seed, meanwhile speed there is better than public tracker. For example: Demonoid didn't care about ratio i.e they wouldn't ban for ur ratio. I dunno any such semi-public tracker atm but i think Torrent-Damage has something interesting:

^ i think that is easy to obtain ratio.

3. If you don't want to stick with semi-public (or semi-private) then:

A. Borrow someone's seedbox (or buy one) and buffer up. Then after, seed torrents for at least 72 hrs (or w/e their requirement is) and u should be fine.

C. Check the freeleech thread. Get the movies u want from freeleech trackers...doing so, ur ratio won't hurt and at the meantime u could seed those torrent in other tracker as well.

B. Join ratio free trackers. You mentioned that you have been seeding 24/7...so i think u could do well in those ratio free trackers.

It depends of how much trackers do you have right now.

I'm an example, some weeks ago i was in the same situation you are right now.

If you have a lot of trackers it's a good bet, a seedbox.

If you don't, just donate. I think it's not enought get a seedbox for one tracker only, but there aren't too much trackers where you can do that...

Like grimms said, it's up to you.
