Tips for seeding on Music trackers (small files)

Pre-Seeding always helps, grab content from other trackers or HTTP.

1. seed forever all the torrents that you grabbed

2. upload your own torrents from time to time. If you don't have discs to rip, there's tons of blogspots with albums (rs and mu link) that you won't find in stm/waffles/what. Don't forget to check bitrate before uploading.

3. when you grab a torrent on one of your tracker, you can check in the 2 others if the torrent already exist. If yes, you can seed it there.

4. sometimes, waffles & what set freeleech time so take the opportunity to grab new torrents to seed them as hell.
Keep in mind that the best way to get a max UL during freeleech is to get big packs at the beggining of freeleech and then, to seed them until the end (or more). Here is some packs that are often grabbed :

*Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - The Complete Mozart Edition
*Beethoven - Complete Beethoven Edition
*The Rosetta Stone Mega-Language Pack v1.3
*Pimsleur - All Languages
*Johann Sebastian Bach - Premium Edition
*Franz Schubert - The Collector's Edition etc...

5. People usually forget that minimum ratio is not 1:

what.cd: (DL) 0-5GB/none | 5-10GB/0.15 | 10-20GB/0.20 | 20-30GB/0.30 | 0.40 | 40-50GB/0.50 | 50GB+/0.60
waffles: (DL) 0-5 GB/none | 5-15GB/0.15 | 15-30GB/0.25 | 30-45GB/0.30 | 45-60GB/0.35 | 60-100GB/0.40 | 100-125GB/0.45 | 125GB+/0.50

So you can notice that minimum ratio is not so hard to maintain ;)

All in all very good tips, but I suggest to also do a spectral analysis before uploading, there are way too many transcodes flying aroung. (I once found a FLAC of a 128kbps mp3 :lol:)

Yes, but it's always better to have a higher ratio. If you seed everything you download forever you'll never be at a low ratio like that. If I didn't download the Rosetta Stone Mega Language Pack from Waffles for instance, my ratio would be over 2.0 there right now. People make it sound a lot harder then it really is to seed.
