Ratio Boosting Torrents

RATIO BOOSTING TORRENTS

(Due to support from this thread, we're gonna try out a "ratio boosters" thread, to help people get their ratio's up on certain trackers. This will be stickied for a few days as a trial, and then it goes as plans, it will get enough activity to keep itself alive without the sticky in place)

RULES:

Absolutely NO direct links to torrent sites.

Possible entries include movies of the week, freeleech packs/torrents, or something that would help to get upload.

Feel free to post tips on how to maintain ratio on certain sites (ie rss-ing comic packs on what/waffles), and it may be included on the OP if it is pertinent and good info.

An example of a good entry:

TehConnection Movie of the Week: Fight Club
TorrentBytes TV Pack: Hells.Kitchen.US.S01.DVDRip.XviD-DIMENSION.

very very helpful topic

thanks t s o l

^ np mate, but it wasn't really my original idea haha. cred goes here :P

Yeah, this will be very helpful topic. Thanks!

To start this off...

SDBits: Walker, Texas Ranger S01 NTSC DVD

It's freeleech and 50GB, which means there's a lot of traffic to be had. It's a few days old, so the benefits wont as be as great, but I'm still uploading at my max speed, and that's a RARE thing at SDBits.I've gotten 5 gigs on this thing and I didn't jump on till yesterday.

last week people were getting hundreds of GB from Resident_Evil_5_RF_XBOX360-KFC, but It might have died down a bit now that it's out in stores. Nonetheless you should check that one out on any game/scene tracker.

Oh, and thanks T.S.O.L for putting this into action =p

Pass the Popcorn World at War, FreeLeech Took me 3 days to Dl [ 17.7 GB's ] But well worth it, So far have uploaded 7 GB's in 2 days.
Great series too.

WWE Legends of Wrestlemania Pal Xbox360-Global : BCG & RevTT

PC Tom Clancys H A W X-SKIDROW : BCG

get em while they're hot!

T.S.O.L.,

Is there any possibility we would be breaking any tracker rules in posting information about specific content on that tracker?

For example if I posted details of a specific pack or unique item from say FTN or PTN would reps from that tracker not object - some tracker don't like the publicity - but then again activity would go up...

Read the rules of the tracker before you post.

As for TB, any TV pack would be a ratio booster since they're all free. Although if a person really needs help boosting their ratio on sites like TB, IPT, TL, RevTT, etc...then you should upgrade your ISP to at least DSL. :P

Not funny imo. Just cause you live in a country where internet is relatively cheap doesn't mean other do.

Anyway, back on topic:

About the freeleech thread, it should get enough activity to stay in the first few pages. If unstickying it becomes a problem we can always sticky it again so don't worry about that. And it's purely coincidental that this thread got sticky-ed right after the other ones got taken down.

Would just like to mention PTN's Birthday... ...all the bday packs are 4 or 5x gold and double upload.

i don't see how this helps...

IMO every user should know (or at least should be able to figure out) what type of content is popular in a given tracker.

furthermore, they should also know how to short out leecher/seeder column (almost all trackers have this feature). It is instant...can short of torrents based on leecher number the very moment...that little click is way faster than coming to FST and checking on this thread.

P.S. majority tracker have guide on ratio for newbies (totally different thing than this but imo it is far better and informative)...there is no need for ratio boosting in several trackers (this thread is pretty much worthless for those trackers)...some have sticky torrent which are pretty popular...some have specific category which are pretty popular, say rosub category in romanian tracker...some have permanent freeleech on certain category (user would locate them way faster in browse page then in this thread).

i can see how this might be useful for big trackers like waff, cd but that's about it.

edit: If a tracker is big then ratio shoudn't be hard to maintain, regardless of your speed (well unless it's like 5 kB/s).

the user coll. skills asked for this thread to be created and mentioned SDbits, promoting SDbits it looks like to me, but im slightly Pessimistic about most things. link: http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-eve...orrents-342395

squirr3l, you really think it's faster to sort through torrents on a tracker than come here and click a sticky? I don't

Instead of searching through trackers, they could simply check this thread (or do both). Some people might not have the time to browse for a good investment. They would also need to be VERY in touch with the scene. When TV shows come out, when movies come out, EXACTLY when. it's all about timing, if you are late on something, you could miss out on a lot of seeding. this is especially true for the big trackers, like you said. BitmeTV comes to mind, If you are 30 minutes late on a show you lose out on a lot, 12 hours late? forget it. And how many people keep track of all the popular scene releases? I don't know exactly when heroes, house, and lost come on, but someone does and they could save a lot of people a lot of work, and open up opportunities for those that would otherwise miss it. Since this site has so much traffic, that could impact the total peers on a particular torrent.

On the other hand you could say yeah, it should be every members responsibility to know whats hot and what scene release will be uploaded today. Or just search for what has the most leechers (which can be unreliable, and if you are a n00b, can mean a certain ban). You could also say the freeleech thread isn't necessary. A good member would check in on his trackers, notice the freeleech, and take advantage. Honestly they both aren't needed, but can be very helpful with a simple click. That's just how I see it.

The scene releases don't even include the 50 GB freeleech torrents on sites like dare I say it? SDBits (no I wasn't trying to promote them lol). That got me 10GB on a 50kbps upload. on a seedbox? shit you could have made 50 GB from one torrent, easily, on a site that's really hard to seed. That also doesn't include releases that come out BEFORE they are meant to. Like the resident evil release or screeners.

It's just convenient and helpful IMO, and what, taking up a sticky spot? I think that's a small price to pay if it helps even 1 member. People may or may not disagree with me, I mean no offense nor to start a flame war.

Nonetheless, it seems like this thread isn't so popular with the users, so might as well just take her down =/

freeleech isnt as great as it sounds either, it only means freeleech no free hit n run.

to find out what day of the week heroes, house or lost etc. comes out, go to: http://eztv.it

use the slider on the top left of the page to see whats on today, or click callender just above that to see whats on each day of the week.

then go to your tracker check the tv show to see what time it was released last week, then compare that to the release times from previous weeks. then estimate the time the tv show may get released.

im not saying this thread was a bad idea, might be really popular, you never know.

@squirrel: I can see this being useful for big releases aka 12gig games, dvdrs, etc. People with seedboxes who want to ratiowhore on there sites could come here for ideas that they might not have had before. Probably won't be useful for alot of users (myself included) but I wouldn't call it useless either.

edit: anyways I unsticked the thread so time will tell if it catches on or not

first i doubt this thread will pick up decent enough activity.

even if it did using irc pre channel, RSS, irc auto download bot or simply refreshing browse page (given that you know when a particular tv show releases) would be WAYYYYY faster.[/quote]

wait and see :P

Other than for waffles or what, there isn't much use for that as it's fairly easy to build a ratio everywhere else.

If there is a hot torrent on those music sites, I think it's nice to find it here cause people don't spend their days looking at torrents on sites. And they are not super secret sites that don't want publicity so they shouldn't really care about it

TehConnection MOTW: Saving Private Ryan

It would be nice to only keep recent posts in this thread (to prevent having many pages), old posts aren't of any use for ratio boosting

Porn seems to work fairly well at ratio boosting :)

This thread is not to post something you uploaded to get yourself upload, it is to help out OTHERS

Most of the packs on SCC have enough leechers to boost your ratio pretty quick. And there's nothing to lose as the achieve section is Free Leech.

Jim.Carrey.Ultimate.Movie.Pack.DvDRip.XviD-SCC
Steven.Spielberg.PACK.DVDRip.XviD-SCC
I've got 35gb out of these with a 100kb/s upload speed on a home pc.

I think of it kind of like the open sign-ups thread. Once in a while it can be closed and a new one with the OP can be remade. That way people can keep their post counts and it's tidy as well.

Anyways I deleted some of the more off-topic banter in this thread and kept a bit of structured debate from the beginning. From now on no spam; post only if info regarding ratio boosting or details about a hot torrent.

Fair enough

GunGrave Overdose JPN - BCG


Get on it NOW or you will miss out, 1 seeder, 14 leechers

Schindlers List 1993 720p HDTV DTS x264-DON - HDBits.ro
Immortel Ad Vitam 2004 720p BluRay x264-HALCYON - hbits.ro

freeleech with a ton of leechers, don't forget their new rule about total traffic

also don't forget tonight at 8 is a new episode of house, and 9 is heroes. so keep your eyes peeled for new releases at bitmetv and any oday tracker.

The Chronicles Of Riddick Assault On Dark Athena-GOW in TL and maybe in other 0day trackers

Company of Heroes Tales of Valor CLONEDVD-AVENGED

on scene trackers like TL, etc.

I think its going to be hot.
