My internet is 1.5MBytes per second download… And 200kbytes upload, there was a torrent that i was able to save from dying, i remember the poor mf that downloaded that file from me for a whole week; to download 16GB since then he’s been seeding that file; the sheer tenacity that man had.
Edit:english is difficult
That poor MF have been me a couple of times. I hate being interested in niche content sometimes… On the positive side, I have a strict no-delete policy on any public torrent with less than 5 in ratio or private torrents, so I carry forward the gesture so the previous seeder can take a break.
Yeah, have done that a few times. Used to have a 20MBit/5MBit cable internet, it was hell to be honest. Still I’ve managed to seed well over 500 or 600GB a month on that thing (I never turned the PC off 😂). Now I got 50/50. I used to seed about 3 or 4TB a month, but I can’t have my PC on like that any more, the electric bill was too high 😔.
Not only that, I have reconstructed dead torrents from files I’ve downloaded elsewhere (file sharing sites). If the files and filenames are the same, the hash will match, thus the client will start to seed it 😉.
Don’t talk to me if your average ratio is less than 1.0.
My ratio is around 2.4 and that’s my proudest accomplishment for probably my entire life
I’m proud of you
God ole hit and run.
You can stop your mom from seeding on qbitorrent but I’m still gonna seed her.
Nice comeback, you wanna repeat that?
I believe what he said was
📢 He would like to bend your mom over and fuck up her ratio, Mr. Garrison.
Edit: Apologies if your ma is nice; them’s the rules.
… Fuck her UP the ratio? Hot!
Holy shit dude!
Ratio >= 2.00
I always set to 15 and to stop after 7 days of inactivity. Feels good
Yup, I have mine set to 5.00 and four weeks. Because sometimes I download old/obscure stuff that can take a few weeks to even get new activity. But if it’s active, I can at least get to the 5.00 ratio before stopping.
If I have a VPN and upload speed limits set, there’s very little reason not to.
W + ratio + yo ho ho + 🏴☠️
Myself and one other person have been upholding a torrent of the movie Holes since last June. My ratio is over 30, and I can only imagine how large theirs is since they were the only seeder when I downloaded the movie. I’ve cleared out some older torrents since then, but I’ll be damned if Holes ever comes off my home server at this point.
Edit: The torrent for those who asked

If it comes from one of my private trackers or it contains Shia LaBeouf, I seed it forever. Everything else is auto-removed from my client when ratio reaches 2.0.
Can I ask what client you use? I want to implement the same auto-remove on qbittorent but idk if I’m just not seeing that setting or what.
I use transmission, but share ratios are pretty common and I’m almost positive qBittorrent had the same options when I last used that one several years ago.
Look in your settings for “Set share limit to” “ratio: x.xx”
You can set a global share limit in your settings, and you can modify the setting for specific torrents when you add them or any time by digging into the torrent’s properties.
My defaults are to seed to 2.0 ratio, and when I queue something up manually from one of my private trackers, I manually change the setting for that specific torrent to permaseed.
What VPN do you use? I used Mulvad in the past but I’ve read they stopped port forwarding so torrenting is broken with them now.
Not OP but I recommend AirVPN
I use Private Internet Access (PIA). I’m honestly not sure where it rates on the “good vpns” scale, but I get port forwarding through open VPN on Linux and my connection is still pretty fast. It does what I need it to do.
Same, but wireguard. Sometimes I’ll find my port closed so I made a cron job to check and swap if needed.
Might just need to go download Holes now
It is a fantastic movie that’s held up well over 20 years. I watched it once as a kid and again a couple months ago and was like damn this isn’t just a kid’s movie, it’s layered.
My “one” is an 18gb folder of every episode of Fred Dibnah
Rescued it from a dying torrent and have been seeding for a decade. Ratio is about 100/1
Got that one? I wouldn’t mind having it or helping out
Edited the magnet link into the original comment. Seems like it’s a bit healthier than when I last checked but the more the merrier.
It hit 25mb/s towards the end. I shall permaseed alongside my brothers 🫡
But if I don’t stop seeding I get the threatening emails
Block email dolain, peoblem solved 👍.
Thanks scoob
No prob 👍.
You stop seeding because you are selfish.
I stop seeding because I am selfish.
We are the same.
I stop seeding because I work for the MPA and I have finished logging all the IP addresses. We are not the same.
🫡 more brave than the trops.

A lot of times the rights holders sell the right to enforce the copyright to copyright trolls who don’t have the rights to distribute the content.
I stop seeding when I don’t give AF, we’re not the same.
I cap my seeding just low enough that it looks like I’m helping but I’m doingvfuck all, were not the same, I’m just a cunt.
I stop seeding when rutracker admin tells me to, we’re not the same.
I stop seeding because otherwise i can’t have a good ping
If you play around with the qol settings in your router you can mitigate that.
Ergo, selfish
No one is missing my 23 kb/s upload
Had to read that twice lol
I’m downloading various Linux distros just to seed them.
Tell that to the MPA 😂.
Please stop! My penis can only become so erect!
Bruh
If I had a paid VPN I could use to seed, I’d definitely think about seeding. Best I can do are releases of Libre Office so my ISP can’t shit bricks and get pissed at me.
I’m the only one seeding Poker Night 2 and I’m never going to stop! That game needs to be treasured and preserved. I can’t let it be lost to time
Are you getting any peers though?

Darn leechers
You’re guaranteed to leave people unsatisfied if you stop immediately upon arriving at the seeding stage.
Just gotta say I love your username
Large popular trackers use seed boxes to provide torrents, your seeding is irrelevant. It is actually quite hard to get any ratio there as most people will get most data from the seed boxes.
But what’s even better is to use a popular seed box yourself. There are high chances that a popular torrent will simply be linked to your seed box account instantly, so you don’t have to download anything at all. I mean you still need to transfer it to your PC, but you don’t have to torrent anything.
🍆💦
I have no issue seeding on a 300mbps connection. I get tons of data upload.
Yeah I don’t bother seeding things that are widely available. My connection isn’t good enough. I seed things that I have personal interest in with very few other seeders. Obscure media, software, and ebooks mostly.
people unsatisfied
This describes me seeing my Astro Boy 2003 English dub torrent 99.98% complete a few weeks ago.n
That’s often due to people excluding the .nfo and “downloaded from [x]”.txt files.
No, it shows me which files aren’t complete. It’s a tiny bit of the final episode and a .sfv file that was supposed to check for file integrity. So it’s not a complete loss, but it’s still disappointing.
That’s odd, because the first and last episodes are usually the most downloaded; People will grab those to add to their seedboxes, because the “download first and last” option is an easy way to sample the torrent before fully committing. So typically speaking, it’s easiest/fastest to download the first and last episodes, since those are what is most available.
i have no autopause on seed ratio. if you download lilo & stitch it probably was from me, it has 500+ ratio.
but i limit upload speed (10mbps) otherwise my isp will complain… still doing ~500gb daily upload
