on my question about torrentleech they seem to open their doors quiet frequently so yeah I am planning to enter the next time they do my question is what are the rules actually

  • I found a post from 2 years ago and it says you have to either have a download ratio of 1:1 on the files you download or you seed them for 10 days so my question: is there a way actually to see those stats before deleting that file

  • for exemple if Ic seed like for 9 days will I still get a warning isn’t there a threshhold

  • If I seed for exemple everyday for 10 hours and then shutdown my pc like any normal person than do the same thing for the next 30 days with variation in those 10 hours theoratically speaking I seeded for more than 10 days or sould I constantly seed for 10 days like my pc shouldn’t shut down cause if that’s the case then hate to break it to you but in some reagions electricity isn’t stable

  • there is a question I always wanted to ask if you can’t reupload stuff in the private repo to anywhere and they somehow will find that out then how is the stuff in the public trackers there in the first place

  • as long as the rules are not 10 days in a row I have no problem doing them since well I already have searxng always running in the background lol

  • to be honest all my torrent usage is that once in a while anime or movie and I usually keep the file until the ration is like above 1 since I don’t mind

  • another question are there a lot or qualities and resolutions in torrentleech since if the file is like 20 gb I don’t think I will ever reach that 1 ratio I usually go for the 1080p even 720 when the file size is huge + yeah sorry I have 500 gb ssd lol

    TL is pretty lenient. You’re more likely to hit 10 days seeding than actually hitting a 1 ratio. In fact, unless you’re seeding 24/7 you won’t get a lot uploads. But that’s normal. Your time spent seeding earns you points which you can use to give yourself more Downloads in GB or unlocking fun perks.

    You can seed intermittently as well and even go days or weeks without having to seed. As long as you don’t rack up a lot of hit and runs in one go and maintaining a good ratio you’ll be fine. But definitely try to hit those seeding requirements.

    They also give you a buffer so you’ll start off with a healthy ratio. And they also offer a massive amount of Freeleech torrents which don’t cut into your download ratio. So you can download those ‘for free’ and then seed those to earn uploads/points.

    They have stats, how much you upload, download, how long etc. There are even achievements which earn you points too.

    I would give them a go for sure. It’s not as strict as you think and they have a wiki with a FAQ which should cover any questions you have.
