on my question about torrentleech they seem to open their doors quiet frequently so yeah I am planning to enter the next time they do my question is what are the rules actually

  • I found a post from 2 years ago and it says you have to either have a download ratio of 1:1 on the files you download or you seed them for 10 days so my question: is there a way actually to see those stats before deleting that file

  • for exemple if Ic seed like for 9 days will I still get a warning isn’t there a threshhold

  • If I seed for exemple everyday for 10 hours and then shutdown my pc like any normal person than do the same thing for the next 30 days with variation in those 10 hours theoratically speaking I seeded for more than 10 days or sould I constantly seed for 10 days like my pc shouldn’t shut down cause if that’s the case then hate to break it to you but in some reagions electricity isn’t stable

  • there is a question I always wanted to ask if you can’t reupload stuff in the private repo to anywhere and they somehow will find that out then how is the stuff in the public trackers there in the first place

  • as long as the rules are not 10 days in a row I have no problem doing them since well I already have searxng always running in the background lol

  • to be honest all my torrent usage is that once in a while anime or movie and I usually keep the file until the ration is like above 1 since I don’t mind

  • another question are there a lot or qualities and resolutions in torrentleech since if the file is like 20 gb I don’t think I will ever reach that 1 ratio I usually go for the 1080p even 720 when the file size is huge + yeah sorry I have 500 gb ssd lol

    This is the correct way to build up your profile with them, I did something similar with ebooks on myanonymouse, at any given time they have like 100 free leech torrents available (things that you can download that don’t negatively affect your ratio but do still count as hit and runs if you don’t seed for the required amount of time). And they cycle out the free leech offering weekly. So I was quickly able to build up a base of about 300 tiny torrents that I set to permaseed in my qbit earning me about 100ish points an hour.

    Then like dude above said you can use the points to buy a bunch of ratio in your favour, so you can download giant torrents, on myanonymouse you can also buy free leech tokens so you can spend them on any torrent and then that torrent doesnt ruin your ratio. Great for huge downloads. You can also buy seed time for torrents that are about to reach hit and run status.

    Easiest way is to have a computer like a home server you leave on all the time so it can sit there with qbit open earning you points all day with very little impact to the network. Also considering that you earn points per download you leave seeding it doesn’t really make sense to delete the download unless you have no intention of playing the game again.

    These strats are a little out of reach though if your only computer is a laptop with a meh sized hard drive though, honestly it might make it almost impossible to remain a user in good standing with private trackers. Short of spending real money with them in a pay to play sort of deal.
