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.

Stupid question but what is TL?

[–] nevernevermore@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago (5 children)

I'm using TL and cannot for the life of me keep a decent ratio. My speeds just cannot compete against seedboxes. Even idling in the IRC waiting for fresh content hasnt helped. YMMV

[–] Bakkoda@lemmy.fmhy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

What I used to do was look for high activity free leech, and then let it seed for a few weeks.

[–] CheekyYoghurts@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It doesn't have anything to do with speeds mate, it's easy to keep a good ratio on TL by downloading freeleech content and seeding it for 10+ days. It doesn't even have to be content you want. Just keep it seeding and you'll rack up big numbers, which you can then exchange for upload credit.

[–] nevernevermore@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I’ve had 4 or 5 torrents from TL in transmission for 30+ days now and they haven’t even hit 0.5. All freeleech, all relatively active.

[–] CheekyYoghurts@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] nevernevermore@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

wow, clearly I didn't read enough after sign up. thanks so much for the intel!

@nevernevermore @CheekyYoghurts most if not all content on TL can be found on btdig or magnetdl.

[–] Pulp@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Freeleech and permaleech if you dont want to get a seedbox

[–] Squirrel@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Get new, freeleech torrents. They don't count against your download, but you still get credit for any upload.

[–] RocksForBrains@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Saw this late, but congrats to the winner!

[–] brickfrog@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

Just a heads up the Trackers community has an invites post you could participate in

[–] BitterSweet@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago

Been in TL for a while, great tracker. Don’t need the invite but take my upvote.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'll put my hat in the ring.

I seed, I have a 1.5 ratio on IPT and I didn't buy it. I do use the bonus points but I mean, c'mon, the'yre there!

Been looking to get off IPT though because of the owners sketchyness, so I've been recently looking for a new "home."

[–] SpaceToast@mander.xyz 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What’s sketchy about the owner? I’m on IPT and TL, but don’t pay attention to anything about who runs them.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well make sure to use unique login info, from what I hear the IPT guy has been known to use people's info to get into other trackers when they had poor enough opsec to use the same pass/email. Iirc there was other stuff too, IPT isn't accepted as proof by most other sites and I'm sure people will chime in here with more sketchy things from the site, but I don't remember. Still I have no other option until the day when I get another option lol.

[–] SpaceToast@mander.xyz 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was able to use my IPT ratio to get approved for TL. Perhaps it’s because I’ve uploaded multiple TB more than I’ve downloaded, but it was enough to get me approved.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

Good to know, thanks!

[–] luke@harfang.social 2 points 1 year ago

Yes please!!

[–] ghoscht@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Would really be interested. I'm really missing RARBG and was too late for open signups...

[–] KpochMX@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i just went to TL like 2 years ago and created an accoutn never used, didnt knew is invite only now?

[–] Pulp@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

It regularly has opensignups

[–] there1snospoon@ttrpg.network 2 points 1 year ago

That seems generous; I’d like it if you’re willing. If not, hope whoever gets good use out of it.

[–] tonyn@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I would love an invite! I seed 24/7, just need a new home since bacon bits shut down.

[–] quaff@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I would like an invite if you have any available 🥹🙏

[–] AzzyDev 1 points 1 year ago

oh neat! I’m interested :)

[–] vintageballs@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

If it's not gone already, I would be interested as well :)

[–] fortekko 1 points 1 year ago

In for the invite!

[–] EliteCow@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

Hey! Thanks for the opportunity. Good luck to everyone.

[–] fitobugger2017@geddit.social 1 points 1 year ago

Right on. I have been on TL since they offered spots at the beginning of the pandemic. Lots of high quality media there.

[–] astral@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I’m here for it if it’s still available :)

[–] idkman@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago
[–] cfras@lemmy.cfras.net 1 points 1 year ago

I have a couple I'll never use too. Let me know who you send it to and I'll send a couple more.

[–] xcrx@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

I'd take it 😁

[–] plumbercraic@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

TL is awesome. Only occasionally do I need other trackers

[–] kniescherz@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

How do you maintain ratio there?

[–] neoney@lemmy.neoney.dev 1 points 1 year ago
[–] snowbell 1 points 1 year ago

I would appreciate that

[–] DonnieD@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I am very interested in this kind sir. If you want I can give you an IPTorrent invite in return?

[–] trivial99@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

count me in! i'll Take the L

[–] WobblyBob 1 points 1 year ago

I would love this

[–] Numuruzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

In the middle of a move, I hope to homelab a setup at my new location but currently a newb (essentially). Can't use this yet but upvoting for coolness.

[–] TooL@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I could definitely use it with rarbg being gone. Thanks for doing this though very cool.

[–] westaken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

Interested too ....

[–] Nomad@infosec.pub 1 points 1 year ago
[–] Unimps@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

[–] astral@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)
