upload ratio help
-
@thor9023 Bravo... i know the struggle dude it was tough before seedbox.
-
@cp2000 I can't even remember how I did it back in 2015 when I joined LOL
I know I donated a lot. -
@thor9023 donating in exchange for upload credit is worth it when you have a new account with very low traffic. Once your numbers go insanely high like several terabytes, it is no longer viable to donate for upload credit because it will barely add to your ratio.
Now do as others have advised you, use the seedbox wisely: look for recent torrents with more leechers than seeders, and if those are not available focus on recent torrents with the least seeders. Don't forget to check the freeelech list periodically and make sure to grab all the big collections.

@thor9023 keep up updated how long it takes for you to even out, im curious. thanks
-
@cp2000 I am now over 0.8 ratio took less then 24 hours a whole 1TB uploaded my seed box only has 750GB of storage too.
I am soon to be a VIP member. -
Glad it's working out for you. It's awful if you suggest things to people and it goes wrong. LOL
-
Would anyone have more suggestions on seedboxes to use if you are in different places like the US?
-
@amyjia I researched them for awhile and landed on seedhost.eu and have been extremely pleased with the price and service.
-
@cp2000 it was indeed the cheapest seedbox i managed to research, i haven't bought a subscription tho. does it really offer 2TB of storage and 3TB of traffic for just 6 euros? it sounds scammy lol
-
@ianfontinell-0 100% legit... no problems at all... I started with the 2tb 3tb upload... fixed my problem right away but then I bought more Upload data alacarte which u can do up to 10tb i think.... i did that once then i just finally upgraded to the 2tb 25tb upload which fits me perfectly. the slots were limited tho i think they created one more slot just for me because i whined about it hah.
-
@ianfontinell-0 my seedhost Qbittorent just downloaded a 10.69 GiB file in under a minute lol. Thing doesnt fuck around.
-
The seedhost.eu is asking for payment in Euros. Does it actually have to be Euros or can you use credit card, paypal?
-
@amyjia just use paypal as normal it does all the conversion within it... it was a bit different than i had seen paypal logos were up in the corner of the payment thing but it was legit and the service was immediate. do one time pay not subscription unless you intend on the subscription
-
@ianfontinell-0 btw... they are so chill that after you use up your data it STILL lets you upload just like lowered I think the highest i saw was 10MiB upload after my data ran out. I basically got 3TB of free upload from them.
-
https://dediseedbox.com was only $5 for me, first time purchase was $5 off the price
they also have unlimited traffic. I can't comparing it to other severs but I felt like it worked great, downloading anything I wanted to keep was really easy too.@amyjia I'm in the usa and use this seed box it works fine for me
-
What have I started??? At this rate I'm going to have to start asking all these SB companies for kickbacks! LOL
Just a couple of things to remember:
-
Use the SB primarily for high-demand torrents, whether you want them personally or not. If you're grabbing something for yourself but there's little demand from other peers then you're better off downloading it directly and using the SB space for more popular files.
-
Keep track of when your SB subscription ends and plan accordingly. If you have loads of stuff on there that you want to keep then make sure you allow yourself enough time to FTP it all to your local storage..
Interesting to see some boxes still working once you've passed your traffic limit. Might be worth a look at the terms and conditions to see exactly what they say and whether there's a second limit that cuts off completely or if the throttle you or whatever. I must admit that know just how much traffic you can generate I would only ever get a box with unlimited traffic.
I came across this too. I don't know if it's up to date or accurate, but some of you might find it useful if you choose to try:
-
-
yay I did it!! I hit vip
-
I feel dumb I thought 1.0 ratio makes someone VIP
-
@thor9023 It's explained in the FAQ: Why do you have different user classes? & How to ascend toward another user class:
Power User
This step is automated as well, after you meet 3 criteria:- You have been a member on our site for at least 4 weeks
- You must have uploaded >40 GB
- Your ratio is >1.05
VIP User
This Step does not come automatically, it comes like a present. But there is at least one way not to reach this goal: apply with an admin for this promotion. -
@Rapsey-0 Shortly after making this assumption I got the automated message saying I'm now a power user, I confused power user (having a ratio over 1.0) for being a vip
