I only use IPTorrents (private tracker) so when I download the wrong thing, I have to either leave it on my seeebox until I reach 2 weeks or a 2to1 Ratio. But I've been using IPT for so long I have over 200K points and something like 120TB of credit. So I can just delete it if I wanted to and then use the points or bandwidth to remove the strike. I have done so a few times, but not usually though.
Damn. IPT is the first PT I joined, so my ratio is fucked and seemingly unfixable.
IPT is very easy to get ratio on, just get some popular new freeleech torrents seeded
I can't ever seem to get them downloaded quickly enough to be relevant.
I’m able to get >50MB/s on most torrents. I don’t find myself waiting long and I mostly download 4K HDR/DV remuxes.
How the.. I'm lucky to get 1mb/s occasionally. I'm usually stuck in kb when getting something from IPT.
IME it’s just as fast as anywhere else. Even got a movie from a single seeder in a decent amount of time.
This!
Change your downloader to freeleech only and continue downloading.
Also helps if you pick up something like large freeleech ROM or movie packs.
Another option is to download brand new uploads even if it isn't something you want to watch. Chances are you'll get some upload credit from other people grabbing the new file. The only drawback here is if you're using a home connection, you'll probably get left behind by those using seedboxes to seed files.
I've tried this a few times, but then I'm stuck with something that will take two months to download and gets me basically no upload credit.
Isn't IPT infamous for being really shitty in the scene? Or am I mistaking it for someone else.
Torrentleech is, IPT is great
