As per title. None of my IRL friends would have a clue what to do with it, so I want it to go to someone who knows what they're doing.

Not selling or trading so hopefully this is still within the rules. If this gets a lot of responses I'll just choose someone at random.

Edit: this had a lot of responses and is now complete. In the interest of fairness I ran 1-67 (the number of responses) through an online RNG and sorted by new, the result was 18 - congratulations @TopRamenBinLaden

I'm using TL and cannot for the life of me keep a decent ratio. My speeds just cannot compete against seedboxes. Even idling in the IRC waiting for fresh content hasnt helped. YMMV

It doesn't have anything to do with speeds mate, it's easy to keep a good ratio on TL by downloading freeleech content and seeding it for 10+ days. It doesn't even have to be content you want. Just keep it seeding and you'll rack up big numbers, which you can then exchange for upload credit.

I’ve had 4 or 5 torrents from TL in transmission (which is on 24/7) for 30+ days now and they haven’t even hit 0.5. All freeleech, all relatively active.

Right, but that's not what I'm saying. It's not about hitting good ratio on individual torrents, because as you've already seen that's actually very hard to do. You will have accrued points on those torrents, which you can then exchange for upload credit. This is probably where most people's ratio comes from on TL. Other sites are different, but TL is very generous in this regard.
