    Grrrr. The upload speeds still won't pick up.

    You don't want to know what my ratio is right now.

    Nope, this is me:

    Ratio: 0.028
    Uploaded: 51.45 MB
    Downloaded: 1.80 GB



    Damn private trackers don't have enough leechers, whenever I'm downloading from www.torrentspy.com my ratio is .8 to 1.5 usually...

    EDIT: Only the newer torrents have more leechers than seeders, but those I can't download anyway because of my ratio! Currently I have to wait 40 hours before being able to download the newer torrents. By then they'll have more seeders than leechers.

    Try uploading something new, as in make a torrent, U/L it to the tracker site, seed. By the look of your numbers, though, doesn't look like you've been at that site very long. I don't know their particular rules but some sites won't let you U/L until you've D/L a certain amount and have a good ratio.
    Then the only thing you can do is exercise restraint on downloading stuff you want and instead, look for ones with good leecher to seeder ratios & hop on those until you can get your ratio under control.

    BTW, I trust you are connectable with no firewall/port forwarding issues...

    Yeah I'm pretty new to TL.

    Regular members aren't allowed to upload torrents at TorrentLeech. From FAQ: "Only specially authorized users (Uploaders) have permission to upload torrents." And to be an Uploader, you have to have at least 10MBit upload bandwith. That I don't have.

    I'm also fully connectable yeah.

    Bah...you just started. Just always leave that first torrent open and eventually you'll catch up...just don't download anything new for awhile. I just recently started a couple new sites...and I'm already in the black all the way around.... Just moderation is all that is necessary.

    i usually dl something that is repeatedly being snatched (it's usually something i don't necessarily want) then upload it until the demand is over

    I think I would agree with everyone's suggestion that you just diversify your collection and you are bound to get something that everyone wants! or download something just seeded..

    Download and seed a really active torrent.
    If you want to be cheap seed porn. Usually they don't lose interest that fast, especially on torrentbytes.
