[cinemaxos1]

Idk much about torrenting, and I can't upload a torrent as of now, what should I do? Although I'm seeding 3 files rn.

@cinemaxos1 your wifi had no issue downloading 16GB

@ianfontinell ikr, I was expecting that comment . I was actually in the middle of setting everything up when a storm hit and the Wi-Fi cable got damaged. Everything ended up being stuck like that. A technician is supposed to come and fix it, but it'll probably take another 2–3 days.

It's pretty obvious whgat you mean, but I did have to giggle at the concept of a wireless cable being damaged. hehe

@cinemaxos1 Something you can do is

1. Search for Freeleech torrents
2. Sort by most Leechers
3. Download a torrent that has a lot of files
4. In your torrent downloader program (I use qbittorrent), first stop the torrent, and then select the particular files you want to download. In these huge 140+ GB torrents, you don't have to download everything; just pick a few files you'd like to see.
5. The people who download all the contents will be able to leech onto you when you've seeded your files.

You can also select newer freeleech torrents you think might be popular and get in on the seeding ground floor.

Good luck!

@cinemaxos1 In that case even if you had good ratio you wouldn't be able to download anyway. Besides the message that appeared (the one you posted at the beginning) tells you the choices you have.

Welcome aboard. Short version: ratio is how much you share back versus what you download. New accounts get a bit of starting buffer, and the trick is to keep seeding what you grab and look out for freeleech torrents (those don't count against your download). The folks above gave you good tips too. Shout if you get stuck.
