      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.

    How is this a Chad move???

    Edit: Wait, maybe this is to reflect on the fact that physical beauty can harbour its ugly side, all the same. That we should not go about: “I am the handsome character and you are the ugly character, so I am right.” Yes, after much consideration I have concluded that this meme should remain as is.

      Calling someone a Chad used to be comparable to calling someone a Karen not that long ago. Chad’s were assholes who thought they were hot shit. At some point, unironically, Chad’s became actually hot shit

    I seed until 1.0, but no more. Or as much required by the private tracker I’m a member of, or more if I seem to gain a lot of ratio. Am I bad?

      I seed way beyond the requirements, I’m totally happy for other people not to. I have a swanky setup that suits it - might as well. If you don’t, don’t.

        A buddy was living with me for like two years or so, we had a lot of network issues, suddenly slowing down, not having nearly the speed we were supposed to,

        Not long before he moved out i saw his torrent stats, while staying with me he had downloaded about 100GB, and seeded around 700TB!

        This son of a gun had disabled any rate limit and been seeding at full capacity for two goddamn years, i haven’t had any network issues since

          And this is why I have my own router. Fuck the shitty router that the ISP sends you. I can see exactly how much traffic each device is creating, and throttle devices if needed. If I wanted to enable snooping, I could even see which specific services/apps/etc are creating the traffic. So like I’d be able to see a big spike in torrenting traffic.

          Christ, I have it running 24/7 and I’m only at ~1.5TB of uploads. Tbf as pointed out elsewhere I’m “competing” with seedboxes so not hugely surprising.

        Same, I seed for 1 month or 4x ratio. I only have one private tracker (myanonamouse for books) that requires 1x ratio or 2 weeks seeding (maybe 2x ratio?) But I have unlimited internet. I’ve been the sole seeder for music files quite a few times, and for tv shows once or twice before they get picked up by others again. No downside to over seeding since I leave my PC on for hosting my Plex instance anyway, I just rate limit my seeding if I’m trying to watch something on Plex outside of my network and it’s buffering a lot. I get a lot of files from a usenet server anyway so I’m not bogged down by a ton of torrents (have it set to 50 active torrents, don’t think I’ve ever gotten there), just the stuff not available on my usenet server

        In my defense, if it were ever necessary, I’m planning on getting a setup where I have some sort of NAS + Pi thing that together forms a seedbox and Plex media server. Right now my desktop PC has both jobs. Poor thing has been running basically nonstop since 2020.

      I use CGPeers for some stuff, and they have a stated required ratio. However, most of their stuff is FreeLeech anyway, so it doesn’t really matter than I’m in the green by about 78GB

    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

    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

    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.
