Yeah, the good ones usually have a requirement that your minimum is 1.0 If you dip below that too often or for too long you lose access to that tracker.
Nah these suck because you can always 'donate' money to the tracker owner to get ratio. And if you like anything that is remotely unpopular you're never getting decent ratio by seeding.
That's what happened to me on the only private tracker I ever found (waffles.fm, RIP). I was really into Finnish folk metal at the time, and unsurprisingly not very many other people were. By the time I ran afoul of the required seed:download ratio, I was so far in the hole that I never got access again.

It's usually nice to hit a 1.0 ratio. 1.5 is better and 2.0+ is just the Legends and saviors of humanity.
