Are ratio trackers becoming a bittorrent wrecking ball?

[sear]

So, what I'm going to try doing is nabbing stuff off TYT, squeeze what I can out of it for my ratio, and then seed it to TPB or Mininova or something.

Why would you do that? Just to share the NFL torrents?

Does not seem to make sense. what good with that do, killing your ratio just to put files on another site? one that does not care about ratio. You would already have the files yourself.?

Caring = sharing?

This site that you are talking about should have a seeding bonus system,but if you think that this aint gonna happen then do exactly what the site is indirectly telling you to do.Get a seedbox,make that terabyte buffer and when you are done,enjoy the fruits of your labor.You can choose to hit and run or delete torrents the moment the minimum seed time is reached coz as far as ratio goes you are well beyond the site's requirements.

I am very confused...

I don't get it either, if you are finding a hard time with ratios why don't you find trackers with freeleech? (if there isnt any on the one you're on) but using up your download creds on TYT to seed on TBP doesnt make sense, I would think you would try to do the opposite??

You people are incredible. You got so deep in the "business" of torrenting that you can't understand genuine people anymore. He is just one guy who likes NFL and would love to be able to download it without the fear of getting banned. And because he feels that ratio restrictions restrain people from getting what they truly want, he wants now to share the material he loves on a public tracker. Simple as that.

I like that answer, and tbh I was hoping that would be his reply.

With public trackers, nearly everything you try and download is either mislabelled (a scam) or is really slow to download. You find yourself spending hours downloading a new movie release only to find when you've got it that its got some password scam that really is just designed to get you to go to advertising sites (people who upload torrents like this actually make money from successful links). With private trackers (typically ratio based ones) you have a community of registered members who can download torrents that they know they can trust to be what they say they are and at exceptionally fast speeds. The ratio system was devised to ensure that people seed when they have downloaded so that other uses can enjoy that same fast speed. The more seeds the faster the torrent! Most sites, like my site for example work on this basis, but also generally offer incentives (like free leech periods so you can build on your ratio, or donation incentives, and credit systems) to make it more of an enjoyable experience for all. The credit system works based on how much you bother to seed your torrents. So even if you dont have a fast upload bandwidth, you can still accrue credits. The credits can then be used for various things, (depending on the tracker) most specifically for 'buying' upload ratio. All any private tracker generally asks is that you (a)seed back what you've taken, or (b) at the very least, seed back for a reasonable amount of time. I hope this has been imformative guys, I feel it really needs to be said just how much safer and more rewarding private trackers are.
