Goals

Genuine question, I've only ever been busted or had my service suspended from seeding stuff, how would I avoid that? I feel bad but I generally cancel out of pithy self preservation unless its some real niche shit no one is paying attention to.

Private trackers turn it into a game of how good can I get my ratio. Grabbing popular stuff I don't even want during freeleech just for more upload

eh, even with private trackers.. I've had a forked version of uTorrent for close to two decades that fakes the true upload to the tracker.

I sure do miss Demonoid though.

Evil? Sharing is caring!

My hero.

I only have an old laptop with 512 Gb of storage as a media server, so i can't seed as much as I'd like to. But thank you for your service, much appreciated

Not all heros wear capes

I stop seeding whenever I remember to. That's oftentimes at the 80:1 mark.

I keep them for at least a year.

Only because my 6TB drive is full though.

Honestly I'm working my way towards my homelab setup to just symlink torrents because I've had to redownload episodes that got corrupted before.

I try and keep them seeded, buti sometimes lose the volumes when I migrate to a new conaiterization thingy

Sometimes I'll leave a torrent up for days and my ratio is still tiny. So it's all relative.

In that span of time you *may have potentially shared the entire file several times. Ideally to people who would also share at least as much as you did. Anything is better than nothing

you did better than most, but it really depends on the popularity of what you were torrenting. I've had stuff up for months that still hasn't hit a 1.0 ratio, and stuff that hit 1.0 after a couple days.

Depends on what you are seeding. I leave stuff with few seeds up much longer.

Not bad. How many gigs?

All the legal scares just got me to stop seeding out of fear of legal retribution.

I probably should rethink it now that I use a vpn, I dont think theres much risk anymore.
