This guide is written for people who want to boost build, jump start and maintane a good ratio on a private tracker sites.

For alot of torrent users this is common knowledge, but for the newer users who dont know......
lets get you up to speed!

*note* Torrent clients vary so some steps might be a little different I use Azureus thus these steps Azureus users should find on point.

*note* Some sites do not like these practices and some seem not to care either way. But its up to you to differentiate. Most important dont due anything to get yourself or the one who invited you banned. so make sure you are aware of the sites rules. (as with any private site)


Lets get started.....


Ok you just got your invite code from someone to a private tracker. What do you?

Activate? Register? Set up your profile? Read all the rules and faq's? Find a torrent you like so you can become involved within your new community?..... WRONG!!!

Whatever it is you do, dont download a thing!... "Hunh?" you say, yep thats right dont be tempted, not one single byte!

I will explain 2 ways to build a good ratio, and they both involve patience. I know them to be called.....

1. Partial seeding (Best to get your ratio up)
2. Outside seeding (Best to get your upload amount up)


Some sites have wait times in wich if you havent uploaded a certain amount you are required to wait a certain amount of time before you cant start downloading, torrentleach is one such site. wait periods vary and are dependent on upload amount and ratio.

The first way to get past that nasty wait time and easiest way to start building your upload amount is called "Partial seeding"

Partial seeding is very simple to do....

First download a particular torrent of your choice preferably one with alot of leechers, most obvious on new torrents, avoid older torrents for the obvious reason, there are not enough leechers to get this going.

Second open the torrent in your client and in that window you will see all the pieces of your torrent




Then "select all"




Then "unmark selected"




Then manually check a box, any box (this indicates a piece of the torrent)
*NOTE* I would choose an actual rar file, choosing samples also works but sometimes people dont download the sample therefore minimizing your chances to seed to them. On the other hand sometimes people download the sample first to check out a release, its your call on that.



click "OK"

*NOTE* While partial seeding the site will show you as leeching, this is because you dont have the "completed" torrent. But your ratio will still continue to rise.

Thats it to partial seeding!





Outside seeding.

This is where you have downloaded and completed a torrent from a tracker, private or public, and you then seed back to more than one site.

This works best on torrents that are "scene releases" and are uploaded to multiple sites, in fact do not be tempted by music, apps, or specialty torrents like "e-books" or other such torrents as they are unique & not as mainstream in general and will not give you the desired results.

Start with completed torrents you are currently seeding, check to see if you have anything that your new private tracker also has,

lets say you just completed "Fast.and.Furious.R5.LINE.XviD-COALiTiON" from TPB and have been seeding.

Go to your private tracker and do a search for the SAME torrent, the best way to do this is to copy and paste the torrent name into the search box.

You know the tracker has the same torrent (because you checked first, and while you are there you downloaded the torrent as well), so you know you can seed it there.

*NOTE* The torrent must be identical in size, parts, etc.(hash numbers do not have to match)

After you are sure that all matches up and that they are indeed the same torrent, and after you have downloaded the torrent file from the new tracker.
you are already half way there.

Next open the new torrent in your client in "seeding mode"



If the text in "files in torrent" window turn red you dont have the same torrent files. make sure they dont turn red! if they turn red this will not work

CLICK "OK"


After clicking ok you will see this window pop up warning you or advising you that the files already exist, this means you have done a good job.

CLICK "OK"

Now your seeding the same set of files to bother trackers and on your way to building your upload amounts and getting started off with a good ratio.

I cant stress enough that a "hit n run" is never good, always give back what you take. Always use good file sharing and p2p etiquete.

Thanks for your time, peace!

Very cheeky guide jblade Thanks

Thanks jblade this is working for me so thanks for the help again and nice guide

Thanx jblade

Nice work, sounds very straight forward. Now I'm set!

Never thought of that! In the past I've often just downloaded a new torrent that looks fairly popular. Its always hit and miss with that though and I have got in 'trouble' on at least one site when I my ratio fell below an acceptable level on that first torrent. Often too I've ended up downloading something that I didn't even really want.

just from my limited experience, if you can get your movies that are "so-so" maybe something you really are taking a chance on, then go with a public tracker, its easier to seed back then with most private trackers. Yes i know you sacrifice speed but in the long run its better to be patient.

peace

Very interesrting jblade. Thanks.

some good advice there


when partial seeding, i always tend to go for the first and last rar in the set. this is because there are some progs out there (like 'dziobas rar player') that allow you to view the file without extracting it from the rars, even if the files are not completely downloaded. to do this 'preview' you just need to make sure that the first and last rars are completey d/ld. that way you can preview the file without having to d/l the sample.

thats sounds solid to me!

Thanks for the info JB.. and the invite...

no prob, gazarris

I knew that you could take a torrent and seed it on another site but I didn't know you could seed the same torrent to more than one site. Thanks for that info.

Also jump on the freeleech packs if they are available it will help you out

Trust me i have a nice huge buffer on a site cause of them freeleech packs

agreed me too!

also cross-seeding is something i do when i want to get extra upload on a tracker

Nice job / post

Just remember not to add the other trackers to the torrent

what is "cross-seeding"?

Cross-seeding is when you download content on one tracker and seed the exact same thing on a different tracker just remember not to announce multiple trackers

Edit:I wont be able to make the tutorial because i don't have time so if there is anyone out there that can make please do so

Greedy Torrent...ANYONE!!!!! Nice and a must have to boost those upload ratios

Nice Guide mate

WRONG
Reasons:
Banned by all trackers,
Client you are talking about is probably filled with most number of faults EVER
Its cheating ratio,which means a lifetime ban.

Anyone have a guild for uTorrent users?

try here http://utorrent.com/guides.php

Thank You southofheaven, But still would like a guild for uTorrent users.

Doing that will surely get you ban and now that you said that you will forever be branded a cheater one of the lowest forms of human beings on the internet

Not trying to be harsh but that's how things are in the private trackers

Its the same thing mate,just:
complete the torrent and complete it
download the torrent with the same name from another private tracker
Open the new torrent with utorrent
Set the location to where you have put the previous torrent.
Remember: Click on Skip Hash Check.
Uncheck the start torrent option
Then when torrent is added,right click and press force recheck,after thats completed,force start the torrent.
Torrent will seed as normal,nothing will be counted as downloaded and you ll start uploading
Just remember though that there are sites that forbid cross seeding like IPT,ScL and a few others,where as there are some which actually like it like TorrentLeech,RevTT


A side note:
Never add 2 trackers on the same torrent file,Reason: For instance you upload 1 gb to one tracker,the same will be reported to the other one and you ll be banned for cheating.

Cheers and happy buffering

Thanks a million crazyfroggy
I'm a member to all the above mentioned sites and wouldn't want to get banned.
So that is really helpful to know.

thanx for this! good nfo

Nice mate! Awesome..
I cant wait to get home and try this! :)


Thanks.
