What I do is try to download torrents that are free leech, like the I-doser one at What.cd, or torrents that I forsee will have a large swarm and just seed the hell out of them. What do you guys do? I'm interested in becoming more effective. I only have 25gs of hd space to work with.
just do what you are currently doing with yours, or maybe only do partial seeding because of the limiting HD space, and grabbing FL torrents will help you if you are a ratio builder
download the new popular ones on 0day trackers ..
or if it is some specialised tracker , sort by leechers and download the one with most leechers and seed :)
I feel like I don't have enough space to load more torrents. If I increase the pool of my torrents, I have better odds to max out my connection. I think I'll purchase more hd space.
sorry this has nothing to do with what you are asking, but just being curious.
how much are you paying for the seedbox and from what hosting company?
Heres what i did with a 100gb hdd and about 6 sites to seed. I tried to pre pick releases by being in pre and upload announce, so i could overseed a few sites with one file. I stuck to movies over tveps, because movies last longer and i went for dvdrips over dvdr, as more ppl grab dvdrips. For the ever tricky oink, where it was hard to superseed due to lack of other decent music sites, i stuck to trying to guess which torrents where going to get a few leechers or waited a bit, to find a torrent which just uploaded with a 1 seed to 4 or 5 leecher, and hopped on those.
i get 1000g of bw and 25gs of hd space for 25 euro @ hivebox.netQuote:

So instead of camping the computer all day waiting for new tv eps, i just grab a popular dvdr once in a wile. Can easy get like 25gb up (on a small site).
another thing which is easy to do with a seedbox is to seed the same release at multiple sites, i.e. the same release will appear on the 0day sites based on how far they are up the foodchain, as a new torrent is released on a fast site download it form there, then download the torrent file for the same release from 1 or 2 other sites, then simply recheck the torrent and then you will begin to seed to the other site(s) as well, and then of course nothing beats porn for building ratio quickly :naughty:, best way I know to get your ratio up fast, followed closely by games.
This is very sound advice indeed, seed the same torrent on different sites, you will maximize your HD space usage this way :yup:Quote:
