How to maintain a good ratio if no one is downloading off me?

Grrrr. The upload speeds still won't pick up.

Damn private trackers don't have enough leechers, whenever I'm downloading from www.torrentspy.com my ratio is .8 to 1.5 usually...

EDIT: Only the newer torrents have more leechers than seeders, but those I can't download anyway because of my ratio! Currently I have to wait 40 hours before being able to download the newer torrents. By then they'll have more seeders than leechers. :(

Try uploading something new, as in make a torrent, U/L it to the tracker site, seed. By the look of your numbers, though, doesn't look like you've been at that site very long. I don't know their particular rules but some sites won't let you U/L until you've D/L a certain amount and have a good ratio.
Then the only thing you can do is exercise restraint on downloading stuff you want and instead, look for ones with good leecher to seeder ratios & hop on those until you can get your ratio under control.

BTW, I trust you are connectable with no firewall/port forwarding issues...

Yeah I'm pretty new to TL.

Regular members aren't allowed to upload torrents at TorrentLeech. From FAQ: "Only specially authorized users (Uploaders) have permission to upload torrents." And to be an Uploader, you have to have at least 10MBit upload bandwith. That I don't have. :(

I'm also fully connectable yeah.

Bah...you just started. Just always leave that first torrent open and eventually you'll catch up...just don't download anything new for awhile. I just recently started a couple new sites...and I'm already in the black all the way around.... Just moderation is all that is necessary.

i usually dl something that is repeatedly being snatched (it's usually something i don't necessarily want) then upload it until the demand is over

I think I would agree with everyone's suggestion that you just diversify your collection and you are bound to get something that everyone wants! or download something just seeded..

Download and seed a really active torrent.
If you want to be cheap seed porn. Usually they don't lose interest that fast, especially on torrentbytes.
