on my question about torrentleech they seem to open their doors quiet frequently so yeah I am planning to enter the next time they do my question is what are the rules actually

  • I found a post from 2 years ago and it says you have to either have a download ratio of 1:1 on the files you download or you seed them for 10 days so my question: is there a way actually to see those stats before deleting that file

  • for exemple if Ic seed like for 9 days will I still get a warning isn’t there a threshhold

  • If I seed for exemple everyday for 10 hours and then shutdown my pc like any normal person than do the same thing for the next 30 days with variation in those 10 hours theoratically speaking I seeded for more than 10 days or sould I constantly seed for 10 days like my pc shouldn’t shut down cause if that’s the case then hate to break it to you but in some reagions electricity isn’t stable

  • there is a question I always wanted to ask if you can’t reupload stuff in the private repo to anywhere and they somehow will find that out then how is the stuff in the public trackers there in the first place

  • as long as the rules are not 10 days in a row I have no problem doing them since well I already have searxng always running in the background lol

  • to be honest all my torrent usage is that once in a while anime or movie and I usually keep the file until the ration is like above 1 since I don’t mind

  • another question are there a lot or qualities and resolutions in torrentleech since if the file is like 20 gb I don’t think I will ever reach that 1 ratio I usually go for the 1080p even 720 when the file size is huge + yeah sorry I have 500 gb ssd lol

    1. Yes most trackers have something on their website to let you know what your ratio is, what you’re downloading and how long you’ve been seeding those files.
    2. With the trackers I’m familiar with yes – seeding for 9d 23h 59m and 59s is the same as seeding for 0s. You’ll still get tagged with a HnR (Hit and Run)
    3. You can shutdown as much as you like. But, again the trackers that I’m familiar with have a cap on the number of HnRs you can have on your account. So you might have action taken against you if you’re seeding 5 different torrents and decide to shutdown.
    4. Don’t know.
    5. The rest don’t appear to be questions so not sure how to respond.

    TL is pretty lenient. You’re more likely to hit 10 days seeding than actually hitting a 1 ratio. In fact, unless you’re seeding 24/7 you won’t get a lot uploads. But that’s normal. Your time spent seeding earns you points which you can use to give yourself more Downloads in GB or unlocking fun perks.

    You can seed intermittently as well and even go days or weeks without having to seed. As long as you don’t rack up a lot of hit and runs in one go and maintaining a good ratio you’ll be fine. But definitely try to hit those seeding requirements.

    They also give you a buffer so you’ll start off with a healthy ratio. And they also offer a massive amount of Freeleech torrents which don’t cut into your download ratio. So you can download those ‘for free’ and then seed those to earn uploads/points.

    They have stats, how much you upload, download, how long etc. There are even achievements which earn you points too.

    I would give them a go for sure. It’s not as strict as you think and they have a wiki with a FAQ which should cover any questions you have.

    You can read their rules ahead of time, they have a Wiki that’s freely available without a login (just google for “torrentleech wiki”). The 10-day minimum duration doesn’t have to be consecutive. For example, on TL it would take you 50 hit-and-run torrents that you stopped seeding for 5 days to get a warning that can potentially affect your acount. It’s really not hard to steer clear of that.

      so after reading the wiki and that phrase multiple times so I should have like 50 torrents that I stopped seeding without meeting the 1:1 or the 10 days requirement before receiving that warming and if I have like only 1 torrent and go in 3 month trip then open my qbittorrent again it will be seeding again and that hit and run reminder will be gone ok then I can work with this system lol sine most of what I download is already like above the 14Gb mark which I guess the freeleech torrent mard

      • about not downloading a torrent to 100% my question is I found a torrent for a whole season of some random tv show it is marked as freeleech thoratically speaking I can just download episode 1 through 5 for example and leave the others like uncheck the files will that count as me downloading a percentage of the torrent or the full 100% if it’s a percentage well that means the 10 days rule don’t count on me so I am required to seed to the 1:1 ratio in that instance right do they also track how much you downloaded in each torrent

        If you download a partial torrent, it will never count as full 100%, which means the 10-day rule doesn’t apply. You would have to physically upload the amount that you downloaded for it to hit the 1:1 ratio. Which could be next to impossible to do. Unless you absolutely have no disk space or something, just download the full torrent, even if you only want a few episodes (especially when it’s freeleech).
