I don't go through Feral.. however.. all seedboxes have the same theory and practice.. Hope this helps.

If not.. emphasize.. elaborate more on you particular issue.. I'll help.. gladly!

i dont have the rtorrent interface but there was something there about downloading one, i'm guessing it was necessary, i'll check it out and i'll see how it works out
thank you JamminJ

Check my PM for Feral instructions. The fun is about to begin.

screenerhunter i did what you pmed me and it worked, the only thing i'm concerned though is the download its great but my upload its like its not working or something, it just uploaded 37kb and that it, it wasnt uploading, the torrents i was downloading there were others that were downloading them too, and i know that while i am downloading i should be uploading too some parts,

What interface is it by the way?

oo i see :( i did download some large files because it seemed that there were many leechers, this way i though i would get some upload going, and there is not much upload at all :(
so you are saying that downloading new torrents is the only way

Usually it is the best idea though to grab some newer .torrents.. or go the cross-seeding method to establish a buffer on whatever Tracker you desire. Then from that buffer.. you can go after older ones.

But yes.. as it is.. the best possible way is to connect and download those newer .torrents and that way you will be "First in line" for future leecher/seeders.

Give it a try and check your results.

ok i'll start doing that from now on and i'll see how that works, and what would be a simple explanation that might describe crossseeding, i dont know how to do that

i dont know what you mean by interface but this is how it looks:
i and teh up and down values are not working or something, and there is that error there,

yea i refreshed it and it worked, now its fine, but the upload still sucks

yea test with ipt if you have it (loads of leechers) get a few new torrents that are likely to be populer newest free leech torrents at ipt should do, then you should near enough manage your max up speed.

well ithink its the fault of the torrent i have downloaded, i though a lot of leechers there but for some reason i guess its not uploading, but for one of the torrents its uploading at a 140 kb/s , so it is working i guess

oooo i see now, that makes more sense, i'll definitely keep that in mind, and also how do people do the proxy thing, i would make use of it a lot, i can create new accounts because of the unlimited ip possibilities
thanks a lot for ur help JamminJ

and also i still havent become a doner, or a VIP or anything :(
i still havent gotten replay

that is some crazy stuff lol, i have a mac, not sure if what you said works for mac too, just wondering

i'm gonna check the proxy thing, dont have much time now though, got to do three logo designs for tomorrow, they'll take me forever :P

For MACs you can go this route.. there are a few Sites out there that will list Different Proxy Addresses.. if you so chose to enter these addresses into your Browser Manually.. here is a bit of a walk-through.
Again.. my main preference is to tunnel.

Using Firefox
1 -- Launch the browser. Click "Firefox" from the menu bar, then select "Preferences" from the drop-down menu. The Preferences dialog window opens.
2 -- Click the "Advanced" icon, then click the "Network" tab. Click the "Settings" button in the "Configure how Firefox connects to the Internet" section. The "Configure Proxies to Access the Internet" dialog box opens.
3 -- Click the check box next to "Manual proxy configuration" and "Use this proxy server for all protocols." Go to a free proxy website and enter the information from the site into the box next to "Web Proxy Server."
4 -- Type "Localhost, 127.0.0.1" in the "No Proxy for" open box, then click the "OK" button.

Using Safari
1 -- Launch the Safari web browser. Click "Safari" from the menu bar, then select "Preferences." The "Safari Preferences" dialog window opens.
2 -- Click the "Advanced" icon, then click "Change Settings" in the "Proxies" box. The "Network" window opens.
3 -- Select "Manually" from the "Configure Proxies" drop-down box. Click the check boxes next to "Web Proxy (HTTP)" and "Secure Web Proxy (HTTPS)." Enter the server information from a free proxy website into the "Web Proxy Server" box.
4 -- Type "Localhost, 127.0.0.1" in the "Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains" box, then click "Apply now."

ok these look more doable :) thank you
i will try them tomorrow, i got to work out the projects i have for tomorrow now
just finished the sketches for the three logos, got to do them in photoshop now and then life is good
a

and that info is for the cross seeding right?
and thats all i have to do and then if i download something in the seedbox then i am cross seeding
thanks a lot
you're a great guy, no wonder they made you ambassador right away :)

You downloaded large packs from them, they have a warning written so you would know if you read :p don't be fooled by leechers on large packs because if someone only downloaded 1 file from a 100 files pack they will always show as a leecher until they stop seeding that 1 file. If you want to boost off a large file download it when there is only 5 or less seeds and atleast 50 leechers. Both waffles and what.cd both have freeleech content. For waffles you can find them through the top 10 and what.cd go to there collages and look for staff picks, they will still be labeled freeleech if they are ;) Glad all you guys have been helping very nice of you

thanks steven for letting me know, i went to the whatcd stuff picks section and everything was like 700seeds and like 4 leeches, it was crazy, when do they usually upload those free leech stuff that i might be able to join in since the begining

Almost every month they do staff picks and some times uploaders picks. They will be displayed on the home page so check that often.

You will never uplaod anything with rossetta stone! Its a Ratio Killer!

They are partial seeders that just seed a part. But there is no real leecher at all. They are just seeds..

You should add the newest torrent with the more leechers. What I mean is:

Torrent name: xxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx Seeds: 1 Leechs: 16 Added: 1 minute ago

That is feeding your seedbox. You will get amazing speeds. I have a lot experience with seedbox :). I know how to burnst the power of them. Also Feral is one of the better providers, You choice right ;).

they have good guides on their site

I guess you there on SCC?..Download their music packs from the archive section.Now it takes about 15-20min to get upped on waffles or what.cd.Trust me, now you yourself upload these packs onto those trackers.The packs aren't that large..just about 3-5GB which takes less time to download from SCC.
The users grab the pack torrents and it helps buffer up your a/c...PM me if you need any ratio help anywhere.
