No one downloads my Karagarga uploads

[Qrazy]

Damn ratio!!!

*weeps*

Gonna get banned again at this rate. I thought I had downloaded some of the more popular ones too based on number of seeders.

I have...

Pulse (Kurosawa)
Safe (Haynes)
A Geisha (Mizoguchi)
Sukiyaki Western Django (Miike)
Osaka Elegy (Mizoguchi)
The Return (Zvyagintsev)
Syndromes and a Century (Weerasethakul)

If a film has a lot of seeders the upload is spread over all of them. So like 50 people are uploading Pulse at once, and you're upload contribution is very little. I'm actually downloading ones with very few seeders, but many leechers. It seems to be working, but I have to download the occasional film I don't really want.

There are at least a few there that I wouldn't mind downloading.

Ah OK so I should look for few seeders but lots of leechers then?

I guess. I'm new, but my ratio seems to be steadily increasing with that strategy.

This is what I've done since I started and I have a solid ratio. The 1 seeder, 9 leechers will work out MUCH better than the 40 seeders, 30 leechers.

I wouldn't mind helping out and downloading Syndromes and a Century, but with 46 seeders I doubt it'll help out much at all.

I don't have a great ratio because I leech too much, but it's ridiculously easy to keep a ratio if I wanted to, just download a MoM or upload or there's also plenty of stuff on netflix you can up to KG as a full DVD-R upload. Sure people will bitch because most like divx rips but you'll get one or two leechers and thats good for 3-5 GB of stats, there is actually a lot of people that want full DVD's but are supressed by the crazy divx peoples....a dude just upped DJ Shadow's IN TUNE AND ON TIME DVD (easily found on netflix) and will get around 8-9 gigs of stats when his upload is finished.

Or wait to download an older torrent you have bookmarked until someone else starts leeching it, that way you'll have someone along for the ride and will be uploading and downloading it at the same time.

In 6 weeks since I've joined I've been able to download 80 films while upping 2 myself as DVD-R and kept a .5 ratio. Good enough not to get warned/banned!

Right now I'm getting tremendous stats from seeding two new MoM films, Cuckor's THE WOMEN and Borzage's MANNEQUIN. You have to jump on them early before there are 50 seeders.

Also, it can be hard, but just let torrent client sit for a few days. Don't download anything new. Just seed. It's amazing what a few days of no leeching can do to your ratio.

Yeah, I've been exploring other torrent sites and so haven't downloaded anything new for a while, and I have a massive ratio. I also find, at other sites, files that are on KG, so I'm effectively uploading to KG without having downloaded from KG.

Gonna get banned again at this rate.

And I'll be here to keep picking you up until you can walk on your own.

...I don't know what Karagarga is.

I leave it on always but still no nibbles but yeah I'll go the high leecher route.

downloading A Geisha

Anyone seen Jules Dassin's Reunion in France...saw it on MoM, is it worth downloading?

[DSNT]

Sometimes the lotsa leechers, few seeders can backfire, because the swarm sometimes finishes around the sametime and there's nobody left to upload to.

Look for smaller files, popular stuff, as they pop. Don't bother with anything more than a couple pages deep from the new page, and think twice about grabbing any bumps. MoM and porn (for reals) are great for boosting ratios. Mine is 1.3 now and I've done some excessive DLing lately.

how bout d/l'ing Mannequin or The Women instead and helping a brotha out? (plus you can get Reunion in France on netflix, grab the rare stuff!)

I dled The Women already...didn't realize Reunion...was on Netflix. I'll get Mannequin too...I have plenty of ratio to spare

downloading A Geisha

Great call. That's my pick for Mizoguchi's most criminally underseen/discussed film. Hope you enjoy it!

[Kurious Jorge v3.1]

anyone of you KG peoples want to help my ratio and download MONTANA MOON? It's a MoM torrent where you get to hear Joan Crawford SING! I'm one of only 2 seeders so it will definitely help me out directly

I'll help too, but it'll be slow going as I just started up 4 other torrents before this one. Be patient.

For those interested in helping out their ratios, Naruse's Sudden Rain has just been posted. Jump on it now and you should reap the benefits. Plus its a Naruse film. Two birds. One stone.

Haven't explored much of the site yet, and haven't had enough free time to watch much of anything I've downloaded, but for a long time I've been searching for these:

Eight Diagram Pole Fighter
Spring in a Small Town
Story of the Last Chrysanthemums

So very excited to finally have them and will be watching them soon.

[Qrazy]

My Friend Ivan Lapshin (Aleksei German) was really a revelation. I downloaded it on a whim perusing the Russian section. I have the guys other few films now and they all look amazing but there aren't any subs
