Should a seedbox for building ratio be dedicated with only one user or shared with many users?

That's the million dollar question mate. I would say, it depends on the tracker, the seedbox specs and most of all your budget.
In my opinion you can easily build ratio on most trackers even with a shared seedbox as long as it's 1GBs or more. 100Mbps seedboxes can be good for retention, especially having 1TB+ hard disk, but it will be difficult to build ratio with them.

It all comes down to what you want to achieve and how fast you want to do it. But above all how much you are willing to spend

Thanks

Thanks for this tutorial. I really appreciate you

Thanks for the great info..!

You have a really good point with the seedbox thing, but I find it really ironic how we're here pirating stuff because we don't want to pay, then end up paying money to help us pirate stuff more efficiently. haha

6. Adjust client download and upload limit.

Setting an appropriate upload and download limit can make a big difference.
The upload speed is usually a direct ratio of your download speed.
You gain a higher upload speed to and from your peers if you are downloading the torrent file at the same time.

Omg, I never knew this one.. I never changed the setting and used the default setting. I will try to increase the upload and download speed, hopefully will significantly increase my ratio. Cheers!

Thanks for the tips, but i wanna ask you a think...if almost all of user uses a seedbox, except me, it's possible to obtain a good upload? it's divided equally to all seeders?

No.

You will have a VERY hard time making upload when you are the only one who lacks a seedbox.

That's not good...means that the only way to make ratio (low probably) is freeleach D:

Not necessarily @Xan91 if you use popular general trackers like IPT you should be fine without a seedbox. I did it for many years and managed just fine.. key is to download the newest torrents and build a decent ratio before downloading things you actually want. It’s all about downloading in moderation
