❓ What is Ratio?

Upload ⬆️ ÷ Download ⬇️ = Ratio ⚖️

Examples:

10 GB ⬆️ ÷ 10 GB ⬇️ = 1.00 ✓ Perfect balance
20 GB ⬆️ ÷ 10 GB ⬇️ = 2.00 ★ Great contributor
5 GB ⬆️ ÷ 10 GB ⬇️ = 0.50 ⚠️ Needs improvement
2 GB ⬆️ ÷ 10 GB ⬇️ = 0.20 ✗ Risk of restrictions

Hit & Run Rule:

You must seed every torrent for at least 36 hours OR until you reach a 1.0 ratio on that specific torrent, whichever comes first.

💡 Quick Tips

🌙 Easy

Seed 24/7

Keep your torrent client running around the clock. The more you seed, the more you upload. Even slow uploads add up over time.

🔥 Easy

Download Popular Torrents

Popular torrents have more leechers, giving you more opportunities to upload. Look for torrents with high download counts.

⚡ Medium

Grab New Uploads Quickly

New torrents often have few seeders but many leechers. Being an early seeder means more upload opportunities before others join.

⬆️ Medium

Upload Original Content

Uploading new torrents earns you upload credit. You'll also be the first seeder, maximizing your upload from that torrent.

🖥️ Medium

Use a Seedbox

Seedboxes offer high-speed connections and 24/7 uptime. They're excellent for building ratio quickly, especially on competitive torrents.

💎 Easy

Seed Less Popular Torrents

Rare torrents with few seeders often have people waiting to download. Being one of few seeders means more upload per leecher.

📦 Easy

Start with Smaller Files

As a new user, avoid downloading huge files immediately. Build your ratio with smaller torrents first, then move to larger ones.

🔄 Advanced

Cross-Seed from Other Sources

If you already have content from other trackers, you may be able to seed it here. Check if the files match exactly (same size, structure).

📚 Detailed Guide

Maximize Your Seeding Efficiency

Effective seeding is the foundation of good ratio. Here's how to optimize:

Never stop seeding: Don't remove torrents after downloading. Keep them seeding indefinitely if storage allows.
Seed during peak hours: Evenings and weekends typically have more leechers. Ensure you're seeding during these times.
Prioritize new torrents: Set higher priority for newly added torrents as they have the most demand.
Don't limit upload speed: Unless you have bandwidth concerns, let your client upload as fast as possible.
Use proper client settings: Configure optimal connection limits, encryption settings, and port forwarding.

Smart Downloading for Better Ratio

Not all torrents are equal when it comes to ratio building. Consider these factors:

✅ Good Choices

New releases (first 24-48 hours)
Popular content with many leechers
Torrents with seeder/leecher ratio < 1
Smaller file sizes when starting out
Freeleech torrents (when available)

❌ Avoid Initially

Old torrents with many seeders
Huge files (50GB+) as a new user
Torrents with 0 leechers
Content you won't seed long-term

Benefits of Being an Uploader

Uploading new content is one of the fastest ways to build ratio:

Upload credit: You receive upload credit when you upload new torrents.
First seeder advantage: As the original uploader, everyone downloads from you first.
Community recognition: Regular uploaders gain reputation and may earn special privileges.
Class promotions: Upload counts contribute to advancing your user class.

What to upload:

New releases not yet on the tracker
Higher quality versions of existing content
Rare or niche content
Content you've created yourself

Optimize Your Setup

Technical settings can significantly impact your seeding efficiency:

Port forwarding: Configure your router to forward your torrent client's port. This makes you connectable and improves speeds.
Connection limits: Set appropriate global and per-torrent connection limits (50-200 global, 30-50 per torrent is usually good).
Encryption: Enable encryption if your ISP throttles BitTorrent traffic.
Queue settings: Don't limit active seeds. The more torrents you seed simultaneously, the better.
Protocol: Enable both TCP and uTP for maximum connectivity.

Recommended client settings for qBittorrent:

Global max connections: 500
Max connections per torrent: 100
Max upload slots per torrent: 4-8
DHT/PEX: Disabled (for private trackers)

What is a Seedbox?

A seedbox is a remote server dedicated to torrenting. Benefits include:

High-speed connections: Most seedboxes have 1Gbps to 10Gbps connections.
24/7 uptime: Seedboxes run continuously without affecting your home PC.
No home bandwidth usage: Downloads stay on the server until you need them.
Better for racing: Fast connections help you grab new torrents quickly.

Popular seedbox providers:

Ultraseedbox
Seedbox.io
Whatbox
Feral Hosting

Prices range from $5-50/month depending on speed and storage.
