It’s been slightly over a week since I set everything up, but I can finally say that I am happy with the results. Time to sit back and see if I can get to 5.0

    I aimed for 3.0 and later 5.0. My problem was rare selections and cult classics would struggle to reach a 1.0 ratio while pop media got 30+, and given I valued getting the rare stuff, usually after a long, patient download, I’d really want their numbers to climb.

    The torrenters are fickle and we do what we can.

    Funny that since I’ve lost my 2000+ TB with 200+ ratio on a now defunct tracker, I’m reaaaaally conservative on my download as I only have a ratio of 33 on the new one. Yesterday I thought that fuck off, I have to download 190 TB to get to a ratio of 1, so let’s burn it before this tracker get down as well!

      For trackers I focused on getting a 5 ratio and then after that idgaf and download whatever. Sure the prestige is nice, but once the tracker is gone you lose that prestige.

    Seeding 24/7 for many years on private trackers and never had anything close to that. I used to buy seedbox to fix <1 ratio when I had crappy internet at home. Never seen a tracker that requires ratio higher than 1. Its good to see people contribute tho
