I had such a frustrating time getting onto that site and trying to figure out their karma system after I made it in. Nothing I actually wanted to read or listen to was available until you reached a certain level of upload. I downloaded all the free leech stuff but nobody downloaded it from me. It was a huge waste of time and I gave up eventually.
My issue was before that.
I'm not willing to give my real IP for almost anything, let alone illegal activity. It's a hard dealbreaker.
They require your real ip? Yea, that's a no from me.
Almost all private trackers do
Really? I've only ever used public so I had no idea. Thanks for sharing that bit of information!
My guy/gal, MAM is one of the easiest places to get a good ratio because it mainly based on getting point from seeding. Actual upload is gonna be pretty low. Just download a bunch of ebooks is you are low on space and just seed. Literally download like 100 ebooks (probably less than 50MB total in space and you'd get like 50-80 points an hour and then you can easily build up ratio by buying upload credits. Lets say you are seeding enough to net you 100 points and hour, if you seed a full day that's 2400 points and you can buy quite a bit of upload credit for that. If you download more free leech stuff then even more points. I love MAM and its incredibly easy to build ratio this way
The economy on MAM is mostly points based and you'll generally get very little organic upload. You only need to download some freeleach stuff (or use freeleach tokens) until you're getting enough bonus points hourly to meet your needs. Upload credit is actually very cheap to buy with points and VIP status isn't that expensive either. Plus the community generally donates a ton of points to all new users - even more so if you're at all active on the shoutbox.
If you don't want to donate 5$ to the website you need to wait 4 weeks before you're eligible for VIP, and a lot of content is locked behind VIP. Fortunately though after the 4 week waiting period its very easy to keep VIP all the time. Even easier if you don't want to keep VIP all the time and only need it once or occasionally to download specific content. All VIP content is freeleach to VIPs and locked to VIPs only. This incentivises people to be longstanding active members of the community and not hit and run after grabbing one or two books they were looking for.
