Remind, you don't have to keep a ratio of .75 it's just recommended... as long as you seed a torrent for 60 hours/or seed more than .75 it won't count as a hit and run... you also earn credits towards which you can use to boost your upload ratio as to make keeping a .75 ratio easier.
You can idle in their main channel on irc and gain 1 credit per hour and you also get 1 credit after you rate torrents you've dl'd... the site has recently gone under maintenance and is going strong again....
When you seed torrents it doesn't matter if you are getting leaches or not... obviously it's better if you do but you still get seed time bonus whether it's getting traffic or not... There are also "Premier Torrents" which grant you 5x seed multiplier that are released every friday... these are decided by VIP members who vote on high quality torrents.

Most private torrent trackers don't offer credit system which can use to boost your ratios... This Site ... 1 credit = 10mb upload & 20mbs if your a vip which is easy to get ... you can get that thru donating or 1000 credits for 1 month of vip... if you idle in irc on average 30days/24 = 720 credits a month ... vip literally pays for itself. On average now I'm getting about 400 credits a day seeding my torrents/idling as a VIP... I could get more if set my upload to maximum but honestly The seed time is where it's at... for shitty cable users like me with 60kbs max upload :/. You can also gamble in their casino for credits I've seen people win hands quite a lot of credits that way... but eventually when you have so many credits it doesn't even matter anymore more like a my e-peen is bigger than your e-peen type deal.
Probie: Demotion to this class happens when a User downloads more than 50GB before uploading 50GB first. Users must make the promotion requirements for Mover to get out of Probie status.
Disadvantages:
Download slots lowered to 1, plus any extra that may have been purchased.
No access to the casino.
When you first join you can't dl more than 50gbs without seeding 50gbs back... and with the ability to spend credits to boost your ratio this is extremely EASY.
How do we determine what's a hit&run?
Minimum download amount: 50% or more of the torrent's data
Minimum seed time: 60 hours (does not have to be contiguous, you can pause your seed and resume later)
Minimum Ratio: seventy-five percent (0.75)
Only torrents that have been downloaded for more than 50% can become a Hit n Run. To avoid a hit & run either seed the torrent to at least a .75 ratio OR for at least 60 hours. It is recommended that you seed past these minimum requirements.
There is a grace period of 6h before torrents are marked as being in HnR status.
Do these hit&runs ever go away?
Once a torrent is determined to be a hit&run it will be considered active and will be included in your hit&run total until you return and seed back to the required amout or for a period of one (1) month. After the month has passed the hit&run will essentially disappear. Keep note, however, that we do keep track of leechers in the community and this affects not only the help you receive from our staff, but also your user class.
You can also use credits to purchase HnRuns... if you get errors which is rare you can contact admns or ask them in their irc channel...

P.S. I don't recommend this site if your not willing to at least share a lil bit of your uploading... i cap mine at 10-30kbs and turn it off when i'm gaming or doing something that reqs. all the bandwidth. Whenever I am off the computer then I obviously cap the upload to the max since i'm not using it. The bonus is that if your idling in their irc your still getting at least 1 credit per hour when your playing fps games which of course you want the most bandwidth... but for games that don't require to much bandwidth or skill LOL!! "sorry i had to do that" like WOW/MMOs. The motive of all these private trackers tho is to give and get back... Also you only get credit for "200" torrents so eventually when you are seeding shit like I am you can eventually erase shit you don't want to seed anymore or hold on your HD'S and make room for torrents with the most traffic and or newer shit... but hey if you want to keep on seeding shit past 200 it only helps the tracker but unfortunately not you
. There are also rules you must abide by but their pretty damn passive overall ... just read them when and if you join.
