Or go to your main profile and click on 'completed torrents' - those you have voted will show a little pink 'thumbs up'. If it's not there then there are 2 seed points waiting for you for each download

And don't forget the Category Votes - it's only 2 points a post but it can add up. I've seen people struggling when they have downloaded dozens, maybe 100s of files and have never voted.

Uh, where's that category vote thing?

cannonmc is right. Voting categories gets you 2 points each for next to no time and effort.

If you can, it's most helpful to save your seed bonus until it reaches 600 or more. Swapping 600 seed bonus points gives you the best rate of return for upload credit.

There are also other ways to improve your ratio.

• Upload new material (There is a very generous seed bonus reward program for your very first upload)

• Seed torrents you already downloaded

• Add pictures to Torrents with very few (images need to be from that torrent)

• Add categories on torrents you've dowloaded

• Search and Report duplicate torrents

• etc.

If your ratio is hurting, drop me an PM and I'll send you a set of instructions for how to rack up seed bonus fast from reporting duplicate torrents. At 50 seed bonus points per reported dupe (600 points swaps for 10GB of upload credit), you can fix most ratios pretty fast.

Or will anything that wasn't finished be counted toward my DL.

I read in a forum, that yeah, that will be the case

It is important that your torrent client is 'connectible', if not, downloading peers will download from other peers who's torrent client is connectible.

Speaking of which… Is there some reason why our system´s connectable status detection seems to be broken? It shows EVERYONE as being connectable, which I know is just NOT the case as there are a lot of users who do not know about port forwarding.

If you can catch videos soon after they become Freeleech, this will probably maximise the amount of upload you can get from them.  Look for videos with just a few seeders, and/or a high ratio of leechers to seeders.  A long time left in Freeleech helps, too.  Of course, larger videos are better for getting more traffic.

:true: based also on my personal experience with freeleech

After the file has completed downloading, I watch the upload traffic on uTorrent. If there's a steady flow (of around 50 to 100 mbs), you're good to go if you just leave it there.

I forgot to say this in the other thread, but if you right-click the torrent on uTorrent and set the band allocation to high/maximum, it'll speed things up a little bit more.

I don't download new videos that often anymore, so I frequently wait for my bonus points to accumulate from seeding what I have.  Then, when I see a video I want, I'll spend my points to make it Freeleech.  I get it for free, other people get to benefit from it as well, and if it's popular, I get a lot of upload credit for it.  (Not that I need to worry about my ratio at this point.)
