I have had this problem as well especially when I first join a tracker. Overall my ratio is around 6, but for private trackers where I have been seeding for over 2 years I barely hit 1.5.
If the tracker has a bonus point system understand how it works and try to build up a bunch of upload credit with it. If the site has freeleach only download freeleach torrents for a while until you build up enough upload. The last method is personally my least favorite, but you can findout what torrents are normally the most popular and setup a program to always download them as soon as they are uploaded. Even if you won't do anything with the torrent content it can help build a ratio.
I highly recommend either making, or buying a seed box for private trackers, and most of them will give you bonuses for seeding for a long time, or seeding very big torrents. If all else fails you might want to consider paying for VIP if they have it. Normally paid accounts get extra upload credit or freeleach on everything, or something like that.
i happily pay for TL vip so i never have to think about ratio. far cheaper than streaming services.
