It's been slightly over a week since I set everything up, but I can finally say that I am happy with the results. Time to sit back and see if I can get to 5.0

I would argue that if it's from a site that has strict ratio rules, you are preventing some users from reaching an adequate ratio
I mostly use public trackers since I am only a part of one private tracker, so I shouldn't be preventing users from reaching any ratio's they need. This is just a snap from my qbit stats.
Once I realized that I had to get in early on hot torrents or freeleeching/neutral-leeching in order to get ahead, I definitely had a few torrents that looked like this lol.
After writing it out, it seems silly 🙃
What does the ratio mean and what is bad about preventing users from reaching one? Never used torrents in my entire life so curious what the meaning behind that is.
Sharing torrents in a private group is a zero sum game. Ideally you have everyone with a 1:1 ratio but if some users go far above that they are taking ratio from other users who might be fully willing to provide upload, but simply didn't get there in time. You can set torrents to close after they reach a specific ratio, but that also means bringing down the availability of that torrent.
Also, it's much harder to get to a 1:1 ratio if you only download less popular content because no one will download it from you for a long while.
