Strategies for Ratio

[kirktrix]

If you are using multiple trackers, you can download a file on one tracker and then download the torrent files for the same release on other trackers and seed them there (for an infinite ratio on the file!).

Sometimes i got an error saying existing data is too large.....Any advice. tnx.

I am trying to understand how to do partial seeding.
When I try to select just a box or two of the .rar files in utorrent,
the file won't download.

So I tried ol' trusty BitTornado, and it worked, but I'm trying to get all my stuff on one client, rather than two.

BTW, I'm doing this at Wild Bytes, but it seemed to accept whole files, I just couldn't get it to work with partials.

Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

I try to find good torrents that are hurting for seeders, download the whole thing , and seed for a month. Also if you can find the torrent in better health on another tracker, get it there, and replace your incomplete download so you don't have to hurt the torrent before you help it.

Very good strategy

A good ratio , needs a good internet connection sothat you can UPLOAD more or just 1:1 at tracker . So besides others good opinion , you need good connection . pay abit more for abitter connection ; )

Always have the files with greater leechers in higher priority and put all your files that u need to seed to boost your ratio in forced start if u are using uTorrent client

Great tips.

I usually keep my torrent program running for 24/7, i get like 2-4 ratio for the files i download.

But the partial seed tip is very good, i gotta try sometime.

Thanks

Over on TL, I put myself in something of a hole. Thankfully I remained under the 5 GB limit so I wasn't in any danger. I was able to dig myself out of the hole be doing the partial download & seed deal. I downloaded a a single rar from a torrent that was around 50 MB or so, and as of right now my ratio for that torrent is sitting at just about 50, and it's still going strong.
