        It’d be more interesting to see the “Real Uploaded” and “Real Downloaded” stats for this profile. The “Uploaded” stat can be padded by using bonus points, and the “Downloaded” stat does not include freeleech.

          That is also why I didn’t post this proof originally. The real numbers for this one are less impressive.

          Real Uploaded 1.162 TiB

          Real Downloaded 744.29 GiB

          Real share ratio 1.599

            Thanks for posting your numbers! An >1.5 ratio is still great. For example I’m below 1 as I don’t really get any upload on most things. They just don’t seem to get snatched much.

            Do you seed many audiobooks or mainly ebooks? I guess the former given your large amount of data downloaded.

              A lot of audiobooks. When new free leech items drop, I think it’s every 2 weeks, I was just grabbing all of them. And then you get bonus points for seeding. It got to the point where I get Max bonus points (99,999) in about 24 hours and then just use that to buy upload credit.

              The trick to getting a lot of upload is to be one of the first people to download and start seeding a torrent. You can also automate downloading with Autobrr, that way you download something as soon as it’s available, and then everyone who downloads after you is getting it from you
