Do you share?

brickfrog , 11 months ago

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 basically seed forever, and I also upload and fill requests sometimes. I have dozens of terabytes seeding. I see it as my contribution to the preservation of the art, and if I’m going to take up the storage space with it I might as well be seeding it too.

I always try to seed whenever I can, since I only have mobile connection

I don’t seed. I live in a country with tight laws and actual cases of people getting sued over torrenting and seeding. With different financial outcomes between those two.

We are on the poor side and while I have some technical knowledge I’m not confident enough I can protect myself from financial trouble. So I unfortunately torrent through a VPN and have my client set to seed 0%.

Better then pay for usenet instead of VPN. Not sure is 0% enough to protect yourself

Not sure is 0% enough to protect yourself

It’s definitely not. Copyright trolls send letters to all peers in a torrent swarm regardless of uploading/downloading. And in any case the bittorrent protocol uploads and downloads simultaneously - Even if the commenter is attempting to seed 0% they are still participating in the torrent swarm and uploading pieces of data to others in the swarm during their own download.

I have to assume that commenter’s VPN is working as intended or maybe they have been lucky.

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

dotslashme , 11 months ago

Minimum 10:1 ratio always

hyper , 11 months ago

For my automated content I go by a factor of 4. Things that I download manually usually also gets ratio 4 but things that are hard to come by or that I really like get unlimited ratio.

sudoroot , 11 months ago

This is me, except a ratio of 2. Hard to find things or if it’s taking a long time to download, I let it seed indefinitely

I have deluge / sonarr / radarr set to seed to 2:1

paddirn , 11 months ago

Try to seed as much as I can, usually around 2:1, though my ratio is only 1.57 on one of the sites I frequent, so I’m apparently just a leech.

KpntAutismus , 11 months ago

i usually seed until it reaches seed factor 5. i am planning to set up my NAS to seed indefinetely with a limited bandwidth.

rambos , 11 months ago

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

Vuipes , 11 months ago

I always seed. I also upload stuff, if I don't find it.

atlasraven31 , 11 months ago (edited 11 months ago)

I seed older stuff. Newer stuff I just get to 2:1 or so and that’s it.

Sabakodgo , 11 months ago

Seeding whenever I can.
