I've been waiting for the torrent site I joined to post some movies, so I can get a good ratio, but then I realized that it's called "BitMeTV"...I don't think they do movies. I paid them $10 to give me a 15GB credit, but if that's the only way to get any upload bandwidth, then I wish I hadn't joined

SinlessLinks:
we typically get our ratio up if we download the new stuff as soon as it's available... that seeds for like 20 minutes or so, lol

warez68
when I asked here for tips, I was told don't try episodes, try movies. but they only do episodes. I tried doing new ones, but by the time I finish downloading, nobody wants to upload from me. right now I'm seeding 2 torrents. one is a show I've never seen, with 10 seeds and no peers.

warez68
the other is Office saason 2. it has 68 seeds and 6 peers, but none of them want to upload from ME

warez68
the torrent has been very busy for weeks, and I've been seeding for 24 hours, and so far my ratio is 0.002

warez68
so I have to wait weeks or months to get that up to 1.0 and in the meantime I can't download anything. it's all pointless. I shouldn't have joined.

SinlessLinks
ouch...

warez68
I keep thinking about making more attempts to be the first to download, but most of the shows are British. and I don't want to sit here clicking refresh every 30 seconds to be the first when an American show finally comes on.

warez68
even if I get lucky once in a while, it's not gonna be enough to make up for the times when I fail to finish first, and end up with a nonexistent ratio.

warez68
it's like the whole system is designed so that 95% of the users HAVE to donate $10 a week to avoid getting banned for a low ratio. maybe that was the plan in the first place.

SinlessLinks
Bingo...

SinlessLinks
You're starting to see how it all works 

warez68
then why are you guys always saying it's better to be on a private tracker?

SinlessLinks
And so most of the casual users get run off. The people that remain are those that can afford to pay $10 a week.

SinlessLinks
It is better to be on a private tracker, if you can afford it, etc.

warez68
on eztv I can get new torrents just as fast, for free, and I don't have to seed

SinlessLinks
You get the shows much faster.

SinlessLinks
Some prefer {name of torrent censured}, and I don't blame them.

SinlessLinks
I'll always love my {name of torrent censured} though.

warez68
well they won't let me in, and now I'm not sure if it's safe to join

warez68
you said "bingo", which implies that's the way all private torrents are

SinlessLinks
{name of torrent censured} does movies and adult content, so it's easier to seed.

SinlessLinks
It is the way most private torrents are.

SinlessLinks
They thrive on speed. So either you pay them money, or you pay your internet company for an extremely fast connection, or rent a seedbox... that's pretty much how it's done.

warez68
great. would've been nice if someone had warned me when I was asking everyone here "which private torrent site should I join?" (and then was given a British one)

SinlessLinks
Or... like I did... you create a system that automatically downloads the newest stuff and seeds it (or use the built in RSS feeds systems of most torrent programs).

Lufrebent
i like funfile too

SinlessLinks
Funfile is great.

SinlessLinks
Very easy to seed.

SinlessLinks
Easy to get into... or at least it was for me.

warez68
so what is the point????

Lufrebent
they have the three day rule, so you can always keep your ratio up

warez68
we're supposed to be sharing for FREE

SinlessLinks
Those torrent sites never said they were about sharing for free 

warez68
if I was going to pay $10 a week, I could've just kept my cable tv. I cancelled it for FOOD

SinlessLinks
Many of them are out to make a profit, or have some sort of agenda.

warez68
again, why didnt any of you TELL me that before I joined? you're always talking about private torrent sites like they're a GOOD thing.

SinlessLinks
Don't look at me, I wasn't around.

SinlessLinks
They are a GOOD thing.

SinlessLinks
For those that use them in profitable ways, etc.

Lufrebent
i love revott and funfile...you just have to make sure you seed

SinlessLinks
You can succeed at seeding, if you use RSS feeds, etc. Several guys here do it just fine.

warez68
so now I'm trapped. If I don't seed, I get Cheeks in trouble because he invited me

SinlessLinks
True, and he wouldn't be too happy about that.

Lufrebent
@warez: i can invite you to funfile if you want...it won't affect me if you don't seed

SinlessLinks
Private torrent sites have a learning curve, just like all things in life.

Lufrebent
@sinless: agreed

warez68
a learning curve that cost MONEY

SinlessLinks
Can't teach someone everything they need to know about them... we all had to find out the hard way.

warez68
which nobody WARNED me about

warez68
OMFG

SinlessLinks
Yes, it cost me about $50 before I finally learned everything too.

warez68
is your income $12000/year?

SinlessLinks
Warez... quit blaming us for a situation you got yourself into. It's NOT OUR FAULT.

warez68
omfg

SinlessLinks
We're sorry for you, it's not a fun situation.

warez68
finally

SinlessLinks
But seriously man, quit having a pity party.

warez68
that's what's ****ing me off. until just NOW, you weren't supporting me. you were acting like nothing was wrong

warez68
**** you

warez68
I'm so sick of this site

SinlessLinks
Okay warez, you're gone buddy. No one cusses me out.

SinlessLinks
THat's it.

warez68
I quit.

SinlessLinks
You need to learn to respect your peers.

warez68
tired of the dictatorship

SinlessLinks
DICTATORSHIP?!

SinlessLinks
BULL****

SinlessLinks
You don't know what you're talking about.

SinlessLinks
GO to another site.

SinlessLinks
I DARE YOU

SinlessLinks
I do NOT run a dictatorship.

SinlessLinks
You greedy little selfish arrogant *******.

SinlessLinks
HOW DARE YOU.
