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?

To add to this, your user class will define what the minimum amount of seed TIME is required. https://wiki.torrentleech.org/doku.php/user_classes (note that you are not forced to seed 1:1, but only meet the minimum required time.) I have autobrr cycle through 17 freeleech torrents a day and whatever my ratio is, thats my surplus to use later. From there, I continue to seed them until they are culled with a set ETA in qbittorrent. I have a local NAS with a few extra TB in storage that I just let run for the last year and a half. Current ratio is 133.172% with a total of 45.44TB seeded.
