Getting people to seed your torrent

[ReiSixx9]

Any body have any tips on how to get people to actually seed your torrent instead of them just leeching and leaving or is it all just up to luck?

Try including something in the description like I do or put something in readme.txt , the best way is to upload unique torrents that people will be interested in.

Tons of people are interested in my torrent. I've risen to the top quite quick. Unfortunately they just don't seem to be interested in seeding it.

I've seen most of large torrents not getting more seeds than the leeches.

The length of time a leecher takes to complete the download must be equal to the amount of time before the seeds die.
In other words incoming seeds = dying seeds to maintain a healthy stats.

So base on that equation, smaller torrents get a more seeds than leech stats (or shall we say well seeded).

Would breaking a torrent pack into smaller packs work maybe?

Try adding this to the bottom of each torrent.

PLEASE HELP SEED! Always try to upload at least as much as you download. If you like this software and want others to have access to it, please help seed for as long as you can. The more you seed, the longer the torrent will live, and the easier it will be for me to upload new content. Thank you!

Edit to your needs and maybe ask staff to add to the bottom of you torrent. Ask here: https://pirates-forum.org/Forum-Account-Issues

Not a torrent expert like the staff or a mod (wish I was one).

Hmm, that looks vaguely familiar.

I borrowed it from you. The good thing is that it works, I also borrowed a bunch of other stuff from other ppl. When I can I will make templates.

Don't worry I will credit you all.

No need to credit anyone. This is a pirate website after all. So shame on you workerbee for even mentioning that. Hypocrite.

As far as getting people to seed what you upload, it's all simply a matter of what you upload, for the most part. If people like it, they will seed it. Otherwise there really isn't much you can do. Breaking it up into 'packs' or putting contact info or whatever nonsense the others were talking about won't help one tiny little shit.

I would say that there is one thing that may help though, and that is having your file size be as small as possible. Now depending on what you are uploading that may not be that much of an issue, you may not be able to make it smaller, but for videos in particular, smaller is usually better. As far as getting people to seed it that is. Smaller for a vid usually means it's shittier than larger ones, but if you don't care about that, like 'YIFY' for instance, then go ahead and upload small files.

Otherwise upload what you have, and if people don't want to seed it, then screw them, and seed it yourself.
