Obviously he won't do it for free! Unless he's your brother or something maybe.
That said, IPT is one of the easiest trackers to maintain a good ratio. There are tons of freeleech content (don't pick the ones that don't have other leechers) that helps. They also have a point system that can be redeemed for upload credit. So rely on some freeleech files, or quickly download popular new stuff (like TV episodes from shows like Game of Thrones, Mad Men etc).
While I won't encourage or discourage purchasing upload credit, I suggest you to use IPT to learn how to become better at torrenting since that will help you later on when you join other trackers that aren't as easy.
