i wonder how much is left from the very early sharing ideals from the dawn of the internet.

do you juat take or do you offer something?

upload stuff, contribute by seeding, rip, be part of a group …?

    Private trackers I seed until Im running out of storage, public ones up to 1.2 ratio.

    I used to upload some content, but dont have anything thats not already available anymore.

    I did some donations to our fellow pirates tho

    Obvious answer is that people are sharing otherwise you’d have nothing to download :P

    For me I usually permaseed, or at least seed back 5-10x if not planning to keep a download. Also have created new uploads at torrent sites and occasionally fill requests.

    I love seeing the seed ratio go up. For new releases it’s common to see 100:1 before I shut em off. My system is pretty disorganised and not automated which is why I manually clean up torrents. I’d love to run some long running seeds in future but haven’t gotten around to it yet.

    But yea… SEED NUMBER GO UP
