Hi. Following on from my previous giveaway last month, I now have FOUR TorrentLeech invites that I'm just giving away. No bullshit, just say you want it and it might be yours.

My IRL friends wouldn't have a clue what to do with these so I'm just giving them away again.

I'll probably leave this up for 24hrs or so and then, as before, choose four people at random. Good luck :)

EDIT: I closed this early due to the crazy amount of responses. I took the number of responses (160!) and ran it through an RNG 4 times to make this fair. Congratulations to @whereBeWaldo@lemmy.dbzer0.com @SoaringDE@feddit.de @notdeadyet@lemmy.dbzer0.com and @myersguy@lemmy.simpl.website

Don't know what you're talking about regarding ratio... TL have by far the most generous freeleech out there. Just grab lots of freeleech and after 10 days your ratio will be high. It's comical how easy it is to get high ratio on that site.

Sure if you use a seedbox or have a port forward VPN and a good connection. If you have a free VPN without port forward or just a slow connection then you won't be able to seed much due to everyone finishing their downloads super fast. Then building ratio can be really hard. Either way if you go in there just downloading the movies / games etc you want and leave them on to seed you won't, generally reach even 0.8 ratio. You need a strategy be that build ratio for days / weeks using the freeleech stuff or set up rss download of torrents for popular shows such that you get in on the seeding action early etc.

Edit: I've been a member for 14 years, I've seen countless people fail to maintain a good ratio despite trying.

Sounds like it's not the issue of the tracker at all. Just invest in a small seedbox either self hosted or get a proper non-free vpn. Not exactly rocket science...

And I agree, I have multiple TB both ways but if he gives away invites to whomever don't expect them to have seedboxes / a good torrent VPN etc without asking. It's hard if you're the person who only downloads the movies they want to watch and haven't ever thought about seeding more than leaving the torrent on for a few days. That "works" on RARBG style sites but of course doesn't work on a tracker like TL which bans permanently and do not give a fuck about your reasons.
