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 …?
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 seed as much as I can but I still have a 0.75 ratio sadly. I tend to dl random old shit nobody wants so i’m just helping the other weirdos like me. I plan on switchi g to linux and I’d like to set up my computer to be as secure as possible and then maybe upload stuff also.
And like in the old times I bring my hdd with me and share with friends when we meet in person !
I always try to seed whenever I can, since I only have mobile connection
Minimum 10:1 ratio always
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
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
I always seed. I also upload stuff, if I don’t find it.
Seeding whenever I can.
I seed older stuff. Newer stuff I just get to 2:1 or so and that’s it.
Minimum 2:1 for something popular, try to do 3 or 4 to 1 for less popular ones, especially ones with a few seeds and a lot of peers. I don’t uploaf or rip, because I don’t know how, and have no reason to.
I set my thing up to seed but I think my upload speed is too slow. I occasionally seed slowly and its set to constantly do it but my ratio is not great… If anyone has tips to improve this please let me know!
Are you port forwarding? You’ll have more possible peers if you have a port open, so better speeds on average.
I just have default settings at the moment. If port forwarding will help then I will look into it
Does your tracker support bonus points?
I have no idea what that even is if I’m being honest
I torrent using my phone 99% of the time, so I try to get to a 2:1 if possible, but large files like tv shows that have upwars of 200 gb take up too much space, and I can’t have multiple seasons downloaded at the same time, so I usually get them up to 1:1 and then download the next episodes
I dont upload but i do seed, im not gonna lie my ratio is below 1
Absolutely. I used to rip movies myself for my favorite private tracker. It shut down a while ago though, so now I’m just back to regular seeding.
A lot of what I grab doesn’t have a lot of traffic, but I’ll grab and seed at least 5-10x on stuff like new releases to make up for it on IPT.
I’m on a gigabit fiber connection, so my upload on my seed box is about 5-20mbps constantly.
