Particularly kids shows. I’ve found yggtorrents but it takes forever to seed. There’s a season of TV I want to get for my kids but it’s over the ratio I have haha.

I’m not concerned with paying for a private tracker so long as they’re trusted. I’d prefer a Usenet solution if that’s possible.

    I use yggtorrent for all my linux isos needs, but I also use ratiomaster to fake seed as every torrent I ever downloaded never gone up to 0.1 of ratio… so fuck them and fake ratio is the way anyway…

      When I google ratio master there seems to be multiple people trying to get you to download something called “ratio master”. Is there a specific place to grab it?

      As an aside, does it work with qbittorrent?

        Yes it works on Linux and with qbittorrent even if the software is really old, the software has a yellow icon and a blue arrow pointing up. To star the .exe with the terminal do: mono “path to the .exe”

        Here is the official link, it is a standalone software. It does not depend on any bittorrent client. Just load a torrent, and change some setting and start “seeding”, by default values are very low so adjust them for your network speed, don’t try and put absurdly high value or it might insta-ban your account on ygg

      That’s the only possible way because it is nearly impossible to seed enough, don’t buy pirated things, share them.

    Can’t you just create a new account on ygg when you reach your quota? Or ratiomaster

      Unfortunately a couple of the torrents that I want are larger than my seed ratio would allow right now to begin with fresh with a new account

        Actually, you can download more than the default ratio if you have a fast internet connection then you can download everything before the tracker update your ratio

      You can create a new account if you change your IP with a VPN otherwise the website will know and block you, ratio master is much easier but don’t over do it or you will be caught.
