For context: I have been torrenting since I was a kid just messing arond and didn't understand anything about seeding. I'm at a point now where I take it more seriously and I want to seed more. Both because I want to give back and to help my ratio. I've seeded 8 terabtyes which is nice but I still have some more terabytes to make up for to get to a 1:1 ratio.
I've got ProtonVPN and port forwarding happening so I am under the impression all is well there. I have raised my Ratio Limits really high in Qbittorrent and on some, I've got some aweseme ratios like in the 30s and 40s. However, most torrents I'm seeding sit idly and I am only ever seeding a few kilobytes at a time.
I am wanting to look into getting into some private trackers at some point, and I know I need to get my ratios up before that can happen. Maybe 'be patient' is the right answer, and that's fine. I was just wondering if there was anything I could do to be helpful and fix my ratio at the same time.
