The problem is that there are too many seeders and not enough leechers. My torrents are being seeded to too few people at too slow of an upload rate.

Fortunately my ratio just hit .80 after 24 hours. But I still have this warning on my account.

How long does this warning stay on my account? And what are the best ratio boosting practices?

Thanks in advance!




Edit:

Before anyone brings it up. I carefully read their rules and newbie threads.

Well, if you’ve already read to all tips above, I’ve nothing to add.
Seedbox+cross seeding will make you safe. I’ve got a 1TB buffer in about a month, so now I am good for a long time.

As for the warning, it should disappear after 3 days if you manage to keep your ratio above 0.70 until then.

An update on my ratio. Overnight it jumped to over 1.0.

I am on my way to 2.0 and I've been promoted twice.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

@Rhialto lol. .. you should be experienced enough to know better... KRaLiMaRKo is a remux release group as far as I know they have never encoded anything. I agree KraLiMaRKo is one of the better remux groups out there; not sure if they have lost some of their lead members but they do not seem to be as good as they once were.

I ended up donating so I could download without worrying about my ratio. I downloaded 30TB. My ratio tanked to below 0.10. Fortunately, I got a ton of seed bonuses from reseeding everything I had downloaded. I was able to get my ratio back up to 0.70 just a few days after my donation time had expired.
