TorrentLeech's seeding requirements are certainly difficult, but they're still easier than IPTorrents! Try to find FreeLeech stuff to help build your ratio. Ideally you obviously want to find stuff that is in high demand so that others will download from you, but even if you don't, you'll accrue TL points which can be spent on improving your upload ratio once you get enough of them.
Setup with sonarr and radarr. If you use prowlarr you can set it to only check free leech. Helps to boost the ratio. You just have to seed for 10 days after.
I know of these by name, but I've never used them. I will certainly look in to it. Thanks!
Using a seedbox, I consistently get >1.0 ratio on things like The Daily Show so I keep it added to Sonarr even if I'm not watching it. I use an IRC bot to grab the FL torrents when they go up so I can easily get several hundred GB of upload per FL torrent.
My ratio is so good I only have to seed for a few days (not 10 days like when you first start) so I can rake in ratio and then delete the torrent when it stops being profitable. It's mostly automated now, a bot grabs the torrent and qbittorrent's seed limits automatically delete the torrent once it gets to 5 days old. Anything added by Sonarr or Radarr is hard linked into my media directory so deleting the torrent doesn't affect anything added with the *arrs.
It's a good setup, ultra.cc charges something like $35/mo for 8TB storage, unlimited streaming via Jellyfin/Plex, 20TB of upload per month on a 50Gb connection. I highly recommend and there are cheaper packages if you're not sharing with a family or only want the seedbox to grab files so you don't need storage.
People consider IPT hard to maintain ratio? You can literally just save up bonus points and zap HnR's.. It's also super easy to build ratio as they have a good chunk of freeleech everyday. They have one of the easiest to work with IMO.
I should clarify that my initial reply was somewhat poorly-worded probably because I was tired and shouldn't have been posting on the internet. At the time, I thought the user was complaining about the 10-day seeding requirement and I responded with a reference to IPT because they require 14 days. I've found IPT very easy to maintain a good ratio, and so far, I don't find TorrentLeech to be any harder.
