CCninja…I can't tell you how great it is to download the Quicktorrentmaker and upload some content. Not only is it dead easy, everything is pretty much done automaticlly (you just need to take screenshots to add in the pictures), but your ratio increases really quickly, plus you get given bonus points by some of the other members when they say thanks. I downloaded barely anything during the freeleech, and what i did were small files. I spent most of the time adding torrents and my seed ratio is now above 1.0. First time ever i have uploaded more than downloaded.
Maybe my uploading frenzy caused the issues lol. But just saying that is another (and really good) way that you can improve your ratio.
