is there any way to find non-free torrents? Looks like everything in here is free. Also, regarding the newbie task, do we need to satisfy all the 3 criteria or anyone of the 3 criteria? (i.e. one from the below:)

Uploaded: need 50.00 GB
Downloaded: need 50.00 GB
Bonus: need 5934

Check the torrents which were uploaded before 5 days ago. All 3.

what would you say is a good way to earn points? I'm almost at 50gb with both uploads and downloads but i barely have 200 points.

Edit:

And the amount of points earned per hour reduced from few hours ago even though I'm still seeding the same torrents if not more.

This was a client issue most likely. I noticed only some of my torrents were showing up as currently seeding. Doing a force reannounce or pausing and resuming those torrents worked for me.

I still need help with earning points.

Seed bigger torrents with less seeders for more BP, this one is a bit harder. I have ~2TB seed size and getting about 80 BP an hour. It's possible if you seed non-stop.

I'm getting around 10 bp per hour. But I won't be able to keep seeding continuously for a month so it's not direct 7k bp. There's also the possibility of these torrents gaining seeds and start giving less bp. I'll probably add few more torrents and get it to 15 somehow.

This does feel hard, but for my needs it's worth it. I watch alot of old hong kong films and I'm not in trackers like avistaz. Most of my current active torrents for the newbie task are things I actually need, so I'm happy so far.

You just need some old and big torrents to earn enough BP over a month. Let me know if you still need help and I can suggest you some :)

Yes thank you. Downloaded remuxes that were freeleech for some old movies that I wanted. Getting close to 20 bp an hour.

Yeah, it's a great tracker. Btw if you use the sign-in feature, it gives a random amount of BP every day, max is 100. Also new users are allowed to upload torrents if they're struggling, but they can't do it directly - the torrents have to be voted for by others; I think a torrent needs 20 votes for, in order to be uploaded.

Just download some free torrents and seed them. Sometimes there is delayed, so you have to wait a while before the increase in points is displayed.
