<p dir="auto">I still didn't download more than 1 gb, but I understand that downloading heavier files (such as 555 photos) can affect my ratio so much.<br />

It may come a bit selfish, but for the sake of my account, my first priority is to bump up my ratio once again to a "safe zone" (because between my last message and this one, my ratio dropped to 2.6). How do you recommend to do so?<br />
Of course I want to seed because it's the right thing to do, but being banned won't help anyone.</p>
<p dir="auto">*Technically I do have one file left on another computer, but I won't be able to reach it until Tusday</p>

<p dir="auto">It's not selfish to worry about your ratio, it's smart.  So many people get off on the wrong foot with their ratio.  Just focus on freeleech torrents for a while and you shouldn't have problems building up a good ratio based on a decent amount of downloading and uploading.</p>

<p dir="auto">26 peers is actually a popular torrent here.  If you sort all torrents by the number of seeders, only 111 have over 100 seeders.</p>
<p dir="auto">If you have only downloaded under 1 GB, then anything you download is going to affect your ratio in a huge way.  After a few years and a lot more downloading, a 1 GB download will only affect the third digit after the decimal point in your download total and much less in your ratio.</p>
<p dir="auto">You are smart to be thinking about your ratio now.</p>
<p dir="auto">The best tip is to stick to newer freeleech torrents. What you want to do is get in on a freeleech torrent when there is only one or just a few seeders.</p>
<p dir="auto"><a href="https://www.gaytor.rent/search.php?search=&amp;incldead=0&amp;infl=1&amp;orderby=added&amp;sort=desc" rel="nofollow ugc">https://www.gaytor.rent/search.php?search=&amp;incldead=0&amp;infl=1&amp;orderby=added&amp;sort=desc</a></p>
<p dir="auto">If you can find some high quality content and create a torrent to upload here, you can get a lot of upload credit that way.</p>
<p dir="auto">Also seed 24/7 for seedbonus points you can exchange for upload credit.</p>
