Any particular reason why you don't set it higher than that? Aren't you on a 8 or 10 MB up line? |

I don't know what my line speed is, all I know is that from private trackers I regularly get 5mb/s or higher and from public less than 300kb/s |

Here you go: http://www.mininova.org/tor/513888
Try this public torrent from mininova. Fresh out of the oven, latest episode of survivor. I'd be interested to see what kind of speeds you 8MB/s dudes can get out of this. |
coincdentally that's the same file I downloaded from the OP's link and it took only 70 secs. I've been waiting now for 2 minutes and it hasnt' even started downloading yet despite showing 1043 seeds and 3180 leeches. |
It kinda helps that I was the one who uploaded it  .
I will be uploading bsg and justice there tomorrow 
as for the rar files.. yes it is annoying and I wish sites didnt require them.. but they wont change.. (I tried) |

I got a hit and run warning from there.
I download one file seed it for about 4-5 hours turned off my computer and went to bed. It's not my fault there's no leechers. I must say that's pretty lame. |

 It's a small world!
Does anyone have a spare invite to a good 0 day tracker? I want a backup tracker for the Torrentleech account I have now. Something like a FileList, SceneTorrents or TorrentBytes would be most excellent. I can offer a TorrentLeech invite in return (or others - PM for details). |

really? I dont think you are the one they are really trying to catch.. there are ALOT of hit and runs there lately.. they are trying to weed them out. I have uploaded things.. and of the first 20 downloaders.. 5 stay.. it is frustrating. 
plus they are trying to keep torrents active for more than 1 day. |

I pm'd one of the head guys and got it worked out. they took the warning away, but still I seeded for 4 hours and went to bed. That's pretty crappy to give a warning like that. If there were more users it wouldn't be an issue as I would've been able to seed it back. Been seeding almost 3.5 hours now and not one leech yet either.
and all this for a file I'm not even going to watch. |

Ya, true. Gonzo is a good guy over there, so are the admins.
Saying that, bitmetv is one of the strictest sites out there, and you can find ANYTHING on there from tv. I downloaded the battlestargalactica miniseries from like 2003 and was downloading at 500kB/s. People seed forever to keep a good ratio. It has worked for them. |

| This is the problem with new torrents sites. The member base just isn't big enough to ensure consistent rate of leechers and people get frustrated and stop seeding. Bitmetv is a little like that in that you have to seed forever and a day to get back to 1 on a torrent. The thing going for BitMetv is the content; something that new torrent sites don't have. |

I really dont understand why people have to seed so much at bitmetv. I do have 100mb up/down.. but I use rss feed (which is key) and it downloads when I am at work, and when I am home I stop it and my ratio is at least 3.
~~and no I dont have any invites to bitmetv, they were removed as I have invited to many deadbeats.. ironically most of them have been esl teachers with faster than average internet connections~~ |

I no longer give out invitations unless I know the person personally and can walk them through maintaining a good ratio or they have excellent ratios on sites that are usually tough to maintain a good ratio. |

| Me too. I am going to make a couple of torrents this afternoon or tonight. Looks like it's going to be FEAR expansion, FIFA07, and a couple of drumming videos. I'm Demo there. |
