I will try help you out with a few things. I wont tell you the sites to go to for the new releases, i'm sure you will figure that out for yourself somehow, after all, everyone else had to.

So..

1. It is no good trying to start off being an uploader for 4* / 5* site, no one has heard of you in the uploading world (so to speak). You should aim for smaller sites that have a good rate of visits daily and then once your name is getting around you should apply for 4 & 5* sites. The stuff that should be uploaded should be 100% clean and only of the newest stuff that is released on SceneRelease sites.

2. Well if you aint uploading them then you should start uploading them a bit more often, its no good just doing Movies, not everyone is interested in just Movies. You get them from SceneRelease sites as i meantioned above.

3. It depends on whether or not you want your forum to have other links of sites & NFO files inside the archives. I personally like to take all of the original stuff out of the archives apart from the .avi or .mkv files and place my own in. It makes it so that you have the full archive resembling you and not some other person.

4. I don't think alot of people will tell you where to get your stuff, The warez that people get from certain places is valuable because they can upload it first and get the maximum downloads from that 1 topic instead of others knowing where to get stuff and then having about 10 topics of the same thing which would cause you to not have the most out of your topic.

5. Spreading your files is no easy task. You have to have your files on some forums and then they will be spread around automatically by people leeching. It just takes time for people to start leeching your uploads, thats all i can really say apart from just sign up on a lot of forums and post your files but according to Katz post standards, you could always use a "Multiposter aswell but this will cost you money".

6. You dont have to use PP .. you can use Moneybookers or Alertpay or any other online funding that you can think of that is supported by RS, FS, FSC, HF etc.

7. As Snell has already stated, you need to have the "mtn" script installed.
This includes having the lisence key that you can get from RapidLeechHost.

Hope some of this helps you out & if you have any other questions then feel free to ask.
