 A regularly repeated piece of advice given to those with low ratios is to jump onto popular torrents such as the Essential Mix as soon as they are uploaded. Whilst it is certainly helpful, there is simply no need to download torrents that you are unlikely to listen to just to raise your ratio.

 If you have a set to upload make sure you 'sell it' properly, include all information relevant to the mix such as the tracklist, length, audio quality and most importantly why you like the set and why other users should download it! This is important as you will lose the vast majority of potential downloaders if you don't put some effort into the description.

 ===Check torrent age===
 One of the most common mistakes made by new users is to download torrents that are weeks or even months old, the availability of these mixes is certainly one the most valued aspects of the site, however  they should be treated with caution by users with low ratios.  If you download a torrent which is more than one or two weeks old remember that it may well be days, weeks, or months before  another leecher appears to whom you can upload data.
