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.

I dont upload but i do seed, im not gonna lie my ratio is below 1

editilly ,

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

theshatterstone54 ,

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.

formContainer ,

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!

Does your tracker support bonus points?

formContainer ,

I have no idea what that even is if I’m being honest

Yendor ,

Are you port forwarding? You’ll have more possible peers if you have a port open, so better speeds on average.

formContainer ,

I just have default settings at the moment. If port forwarding will help then I will look into it

paddirn ,

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.

the_kalash ,

I usually keep the last 1TB of my torrent downloads around for seeding.

Also part of a DDL group which I gave a few donations to.

Inkidu ,

I don’t have a lot of stuff that’s not already uploaded. Niche books mostly. I offer x3 the upload on public torrents and indefinite on privates.

MaDeX ,

Anyone recommend a seed box?

Commiunism ,

I don’t use torrents all that much to be quite honest - I just download and forget about it with my qbittorrent running in the background pretty much 16 hours a day while I’m awake.

Think the highest seed ratio I accumulated doing this was 500 ratio on a 50gb file.

On private trackers I seed until I delete the files(if I need space or the movie/tv-show is really bad)

On public trackers I don’t take too much risks and only seed one day or ratio up to 1.

And it’s setup on Radarr / Sonarr / Transmission, so I don’t have to do much anymore

Are ye a pirate or are ye Robin Hood?

gwi1785 OP ,

i am a thief like we all are, no need for euphemism.

but i’d rather be robin hood than stoertebeker.

where do you think your files come from?

i just think if everybody once in a while would just buy and upload one file there would be a lot of new or unusual stuff.

Shere_Khan ,

I upload to the snahp forms, and i have found some hard to find stuff for dudes on reddit or whatever, but mostly i just seed

I have. Just doing a side project with the purpose to share rom files as torrents. Still planning how I would do that anyway

sparkl_motion ,

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.
