I dont know which private trackers you are referring to, but on the trackers that I am a member of, I manage to seed to 1:1 ratio even on my miserably slow BSNL unlimited plan (which if u remember was not upgraded to 2meg speed)
You are not a member of the private trackers I am talking about. You can keep your seeding it for a whole year and you won't manage to upload 0.01 MB. And I am not exaggerating.
Look at the scenario:
There are 48 seeders with 24 MBps connections and you with a 16 KBps connection.
There are two leechers. Will you ever be able to upload? No. Because by the time you upload a hundred MB, the leecher would have downloaded the whole 8 GB file from the other seeders. Get it? It is that simple.
The only way to seed on these trackers is to start downloading a file as soon as it uploaded and keep seeding it till the upload keeps going. And only that doesn't help wither. You have to use these mods to multiply your upload rate if you want to help the ratio. Obviously, they will ban you if you do not.
The other way is to download famous pornographic clips and seed them. I won't do that though because I am a lot more opposed to dealing with porn than using such mods to keep my ratio in good shape.
When I was introduced to this private tracker, I was told to use these mods. I denied because I had this strict policy that I would seed to 1:1, no matter what happened. You know what happened? I could not seed a single megabyte of data. I had to use a modded version of µTorrent. It was the only option. I keep my torrents queued up in my client indefinitely in the hope that someone might want it from me and I never cap my upload bandwidth.
I appreciate your noble intentions and am a "seeder at heart" too, but it just does not work on certain trackers unless you have a good connection. And as I mentioned, and I hope you'll agree, "it is hardly our fault that we have pathetic broadband connections in our country".
