Becoming a power user is hard

I wanted to share some livesets that aren't uploaded but I see that I need to become a power user first. Problem is though, there's not enough leechers to even upload the size that I have downloaded which leads to loss of share-ratio.

Example: I download a 158MB file but get to seed only like 55MB.

By this rate, becoming a power user will take months. Any tips?

i thought the same thing when i just got here, but...
when i was here for three months, i had 1TB uploaded and 1MB downloaded, ratio of 1,000,000+.
that's the upload requirement for poweruser every 4.5 days on average. my points went all to download debit or ratio-free awards.

granted, i had some good times with the edc torrents, but power user is definitely not as impossible as it seems. Just don't forget about the point system.

also, read this if you haven't already don so. it contains a lot of tips.

i can see you are not seeding at this moment, if you can not seed 24/7 the point system is where its at, and you shouldn't go for ratio through seeding.

just so we are clear, my tribalmixes folder is about 600gb, but my downloaded stat is only 10 at this moment. this is all due to how i use my points. my uploaded stat is 1.17tb now, so if i never took advantage of ratio-free awards and torrents, i would not be a power user!!! if i can negate 600gb of downloaded data just by doing my points every day, then you must be able to negate whatever you will need to download to get to that 50gb up, just be smart about it, keep an eye on your hit and runs and follow the advice in the link.

Thanks for the informative post. I'll do my best to follow the tips and hopefully I'll get the user class as soon as possible.

Stupidly I was looking for a LIKE button but realised I wasn't on FB so - I'll just post a thanks for the info.
Of course, looking at my ratio makes me weep at the moment but I'll be damned if I don't work to clear it. (Not handy that no one seems to like the mixes I do currently. Hopefully that will change!)

Hey .

There are several possibilities, to earn enough points on this site, if you have that aim :) . I was in the same situation like you, it took some weeks, but with posting in the forum, rating torrents, commenting on torrents, submitting Photos and descriptions about DJs and clubs and ofc. with seeding, I was able to fix my share-ratio too :) . You're best advised, to wait with new downloads and bundle them into a 72h ratio free torrents sessioin next time, and 25 GB upload (25k points) + only 10 GB downloaded (can be reduced by buying DL-debit) , you'd already have enough share-ratio to get the status of Power User :) . You only need that rank though, if you want to upload torrents yourself (though the unlocked dark-theme for the site is actually really nice to preserve one's eyes when being on this site a lot ) .

I honor, that you're trying to fix your ratio, and just thought I'd give you a few tips on how to achieve that easily, even without actual upload :) .
