An easy way to boost your private tracker ratio!

[hoodeh]

Well it is common sense, if they dont know about this, then they dont deserve to be a member of a private tracker.

That's a really sorry thing to say. Not everybody understands everything without help, stoi...

and if you have got a shit upload, it will still take you ages to get a good ratio.

If you have a bad upload, it will be hard to keep a good ratio. But outside seeding will get you there faster than downloading and seeding from the same tracker. It's just common sense.

threads like this make me want to puke. so much for community, its all fucking self self self.

wow you are really taking this personnaly.
Let me just say this:
Outside seeding isn't selfish at all, you are helping the community by seeding files. Also, the fact that the point is to improve your ratio to be able to download more, you will also help the community later by leeching files.
So I really don't see why are you are so negative about this.
Is it because you own a tracker? Let me tell you that this doesn't hurt trackers at all. Think about it.

And why not be a little less agressive in your posts? Would that hurt you?

nothing new here indeed, not sure it something that should be teach to new comers, let them figure out themselves

it might be ok to me to use this method if you have a bad ratio and need to save your ass, otherwise, that's not really community friendly as you are making it harder for those who downloaded the files on the site to seed back

i know many people end up doing it to build a ratio on site like waffles and what, getting appz on other sites with easy to maintain ratio

this thread is a perfect how-not-to.
ROFL.
You suggest hit n' run in the first site to seed at the second.

(mental reminder: do not invite this guy ever to any site.)

Yes this is very old information.

I wonder what would happen if everyone choose to do that?

It would suck! I would think-half seeded files.

No idea why this was ever approved for Guides....

Moved to Bittorrent.

My 2 cents...

Well, the only big problem in this "how-to" is that your h&running another tracker for the sake of another one.

The truth is: most of you don't even know what it means to have a slow upload connection and try to survive in a tracker like BitmeTV or TL for example. And just say "forget it, you'll never be able to seed anything" is quite easy.

What I used to do when I had slow up connection is almost the same thing the poster advised here, with one major difference: actually we have most of the big torrents seeded in RAR and you don't need to download the entire torrent to seed it. So I used to grab like 5 to 10% of really big torrents and just seed it back to the tracker. This way, I downloaded lots of little files I would never really use.

Don't know if it still there but BitmeTV used to have a guide saying almost the same things.

My real opinion? I don't thing the poster had any bad intention creating this thread. You "staff and flawless users" are always asking newcomers to help this community. When they try with what they have (not always an awesome idea or tip) you are real fast to come and flame it instead of fast and simply argue that there is a better way for doing something or that it is just wrong.

I was not born torrenting. I don't know everything about it (far from this) and I'm "sure" learning something new almost everytime I come to this nice forum... while other attitudes I just can't understand.

how can it be considered hit and running if you have it seeding onboth trackers?

If you're doing this because you have slow upload connection, you won't be able to seed in both trackers... That's why it is a hit&run. You're taking something from a open tracker to seed somewhere else.

that makes sense. i guess i had the assumption that you were speaking of traditional hit and runs.

example: downloading from one tracker and immidiately stoping it to seed in another tracker (traditional h&r). as opposed to downloading from say tracker #1 (say it has zero to very few other leeches) and leaving it seeding while also seeding on tracker #2 with a large number of leeches. of course this second scenario is EXTREMELY unlikely.

ty for clearing up what you meant tho. cheers

P.S. i still say part seeding is the best way to boost ratio. part of this "guide" can be used for that tho. but only the tip on arranging by number of leechers and looking at the seed to leech ratio.

Last time i checked hit n running is when you stop seeding on a torrent without any intention of even seeding it.
