Hi I just joined my first private tracker (torrentleech). I found something in the wish list which I have. I'd like to seed it to start out on a good foot. Are there any good guides on that? I've tried in the past and utterly failed, I'm hoping it's easier to start a seed on a private tracker?

Okay I will start like that. I read the FAQ and it looks like I won't qualify as an uploader as I'm just short of the upload speeds they need and won't likely be able to upload many things a month.

Side question, are you constantly managing your ratio or do you think that if I run all my sonarr stuff through the the private tracker and just leave stuff to seed indefinitely that I will be okay?

Even if you aren't an uploader, you can still upload torrents by filling requests. You just need to become a power user, which only takes two weeks and 200GB of upload.

200gb of upload is a LOT for a private tracker! I've got a couple where I've been seeding dozens of torrents for MONTHS and I still haven't cracked 200gb upload.

Use autodl-irssi or autobrr to grab some free leech torrents as soon as they are uploaded. You will hit 200GB in a few hours if you have a decent upload speed and have port forwarding set correctly.

Yeah but then I have to host a bunch of content that I'm not using on my Jellyfin server, and thats a whole mess to untangle in qbit. I appreciate the suggestion, though!

Set a different download directory for those, or put a label on them. That'll make it easier to untangle and efficiently delete all those you don't want to keep.

Good to know. Thanks.

Something else worth mentioning, if you have some release at home which already are on tracker, you can seed them too. Just make sure it is identical release, load torrent file from tracker and point directory to where your file is. On a different matter, make sure your client is well setup, that means to ensure you have a port rule on router leading to your pc IP and use same port on your torrent client. And if you use a VPN, prefer to setup your torrent client to use VPN connection rather than using a kill switch on VPN client.
