As grimms said BitmeTV is by far the best TV tracker in terms of sheer content, speed and pre time releases. It is also almost impossible to seed cause not only u can't do partial seeding as the files are released complete and not in .rar's but also because there is a lot of people that have great connections and seedboxes.

TVTorrents on the other hand doesn't have that much content, u will wait longer for ur prison break latest episode but u can get decent speeds and packs with all seasons from most of the major tv shows of the past years. Usually they are always seeded. Special members run individual shows and r responsible for them. They update them and keep them alive which is one of the greatest problems of some very "fast" trackers. If u let 15 days pass u'll probably lose the opportunity to download them. They die very fast. Everything happens at the speed of light.

You can easily do partial seeding if there's only one file. Download as much of the file as you want and then set it to "don't download". You'll keep seeding the pieces you got. This is described extensively in the bitmetv faq.
I must add that if you have a decent connection, seeding isn't as hard as many make it out to be.

I am only a member at TvT, but I've found it has the TV shows I want (other than documentaries/discovery channel ones), it's pretty fast, and very easy to seed.

In Utorrent?? Where do I have the option "don't download"? If I stop it I stop it... if I pause it it just stops as well.

Am I missing something here or are u talking of another client?

Thank you for ur answer.

OK, say a file is 359 MB, and you only want to d/l 100MB asp and then start seeding back even quicker than that.

Commence your download, keep an eye on the torrent, when it reaches your required set download amount or % amount, press stop.

In the bottom window click on the files tab, there you will see the files(s) you are downloading, highlight all the files and then right click and select "do not download", then go back to your file in utorrent, right click and select force start. It will now start to seed back the amount of data you have downloaded, obviously the more data you eventually get the easier it is to seed back.

S*it.... Such ignorance...

and I use it for the past 2 years or so.

Just to think of the opportunities I lost of boosting my ratio just because I wouldn't download a 4 Giga file just for ratio...

Many, many thx tgp and specially SgtMajor for explaining this to me.
