Personal recommendation is to have a seedbox to maintain ratios. I use a VM on my home server specifically for torrents only. It's segmented, always on, running wired (not wireless) since it's built into the server, and accessible anywhere.

Using trackers is a long-term endeavor, so paying monthly vs buying something to use could be algebraically calculated if you wanted to put in that much work, but I think it tilts towards owning the equipment.

Truth is a seedbox can be VERY low-end, run headless, and sit anywhere you can get a solid connection.

Never have been a fan of ratio-less trackers; often difficult to get enough seeders for the download speeds I like.
