There are a few things that you can do.

1. Download big freeleech packs. Obviously this only works if the site has free leech.
2. Download popular TV shows.
3. Seed! Never delete torrents and leave your computer on 24/7
4. If you have the option, upload your own content.
5. Part download files. Instead of downloading the whole thing grab a few rars then just seed them.
6. Set up irc/rss to auto download torrents. This will get you in early when alot of the seeding goes on.

That's most of the basic stuff. Hope it helps.

Only belong to trackers that fit your connection and downloading habits.
Unfortunately with seedboxes ,or rather certain sites reluctance to acknowledge that it isn't 2003 anymore, those are becoming increasing difficult to find.

Focus on that one tracker. Pause or remove all other torrents. In fact, going one or two torrents at a time is optimal.

Only download stuff on the day it is posted.

Calculate how long each file will take to seed back at your average upload rate and consider whether it is worthwhile to download.

If it will take to long to seed back, then don't download it. Most of the time, you can wait a few weeks and grab it there or at another tracker when you've got yourself set up and don't need to focus on the new tracker.
