I’ll admit, when I first started torrent I was not really familiar with how it worked and how important seeding was. I would just use magnet links without configuration to save the torrent and seed after completion. Well… I have finally, got myself back to 1.00 after a couple months and working to try to always seed double what I get for each torrent.
Often times I was one of the few random seeders available for some of these torrents. Friendly reminder to give back because you never know when you’re one of the rare cases that can complete someones long lost file download!
Ratios are a things of a past. I’m having trouble getting ratios as all of the torrents I have are straight zeros in the upload section. I still keep them around for a while just out of habit, but just to verify it’s working I’ve downloaded some random file with high leech ratio. Got it in fast, but upload is now going at less than 5% the upload capacity. Back in late 00s running torrents would instantly saturate the entirety of my 10mbit connection, and I’d like to think that terabytes I’ve seeded during that time make up for my abysmal ratios nowadays. But the reality is that there just simply is enough seeders already, and as a result the trackers I frequent to either dropped it entirely or switched to a scoring system based on how much and for how long people store obscure torrents that only few people seed, but I’m too short on drive space to participate in that.
Mines alright seed just long enough to stay afloat
I’m such a leech :( stupid ISP data cap. I’ll make it up someday
You can always get a seedbox (if you’re able and willing to spend a few bucks a month on a seedbox)
“Session waste”?
Me with lemmy on the toilet.
My seed ratio is 1.2. I’d seed more, but I download a lot of different things and my home server is limited on space at the moment.
I get a gig down but only 50mbps up (fucking spectrum), so I gotta limit seeding the same way or I’d just crush my upload speed all the time.
Spectrum is the shittiest company known to man. Double and triple billing, they bill a month ahead so your paying for service you haven’t yet used, horrible speed my as well be false advertising, customer support is terrible. They fraud charged and upsold services to get discounts which was a lock you in contract scam price. All time worst companies ever.
pretty proud of my ratio of 6 yrs
I mean have you really only downloaded less than 500gb or is almost everything free seed and doesn’t count on your download stats.
Eitherway nice seeding, good job
yeah, I mostly download free seeds and I don’t think that adds to the download count, I’ve definitely downloaded more than 500gb
Normal ratio on private sites with free seed torrents because your download is heavily distorted
I have like 250 KB/s for seeding maybe 250 Kb/s max (min)
I just round it down to 0 kb(B)/s to prevent brain overhead
It’s been at the same ratio for the last 3 years… Never managed to get more…
What are you using? I need to carve time out to get my unraid server to work with jellyfin and arr and seed with deluge. My current set up moves the files to the right folder once I have completed my download so I never get over 1.0 ratio.
Way to go, keep it up!
Took me a while to find the stats tab, I didnt know it was available lol
I’m doing my part.png
Hoping to hit 400 TB uploaded this year :3
Those are rookie numbers. You need to pump those numbers up.
Da good stuff
We thank you for your service
Giving back is good but once I realize how much I hate companies that own the media I have been seeding these Linux iso extra hard out of spite!
This is the way.
