As per title. None of my IRL friends would have a clue what to do with it, so I want it to go to someone who knows what they’re doing.

Not selling or trading so hopefully this is still within the rules. If this gets a lot of responses I’ll just choose someone at random.

Edit: this had a lot of responses and is now complete. In the interest of fairness I ran 1-67 (the number of responses) through an online RNG and sorted by new, the result was 18 - congratulations @TopRamenBinLaden

    I’ve had 4 or 5 torrents from TL in transmission (which is on 24/7) for 30+ days now and they haven’t even hit 0.5. All freeleech, all relatively active.

      Right, but that’s not what I’m saying. It’s not about hitting good ratio on individual torrents, because as you’ve already seen that’s actually very hard to do. You will have accrued points on those torrents, which you can then exchange for upload credit. This is probably where most people’s ratio comes from on TL. Other sites are different, but TL is very generous in this regard.

      It’s been a while since I had an active seedbox but what I did was use a script I found on github to monitor the irc where the new releases got announced and grab them before they hit the RSS feed. Freeleach took too long to reach >1 ratio if I didn’t get in early. I didn’t use TL so it might be different but it’s worth looking into. In my experience the faster you got a partial seed up the better, speed really wasn’t a factor. If you’re providing the files for the people manually looking for new releases to seed for ratio you’d be better off.
