      Most of the shit I’ve seeded for years I’m not even close to 2.0. I’m lucky to get over 1. Sometimes I have less popular things where I’m one of the only seeders take off but in general idk how people manage to keep up a ratio on private trackers. All mine comes from buying credit on their points system which takes forever. You can try to get on something as soon as it’s posted but even that’s hit or miss.

        I think the trick is to get in early on something that will be high demand.

        I’m not any good at it either.

          Yea, and you have to do it basically instantly or it’s no good and you just burned some of what little download credit you have on it. If they give you points for # of torrents you’re uploading on I usually download a shitload of small things like comics or magazines and just let my points build up over time that way. It takes forever but it’s safer than hoping to get lucky on a new upload of a movie or show actually taking off.
