    I was curious, is there a way to set it up to always for PC to boot up and start peer sharing, I always use torrents for downloading movies on a road trips on laptop but leaving it over night I always only get a ratio of 0.5 or something.

    I’m not the most familiar with torrents and a like, since I rarely go on road trips, but I love foss and would love to contribute somehow, I know that I can donate but I already struggle to pay rent >_<

    I run Linux mint on both PC and laptop btw.

      Not sure what platform and app you’re using but on qBittorent you can set it to run on windows startup.

      There’s also an option to prevent the system from going to sleep (could be why you only get +0.5 ratio during the night). This last setting you can actually set it to download and/or upload.

            Yeah usually a movie is a 1 to 2 GB file nd peers hover around 5 people but sometimes drops off to 0 for a while
