Keep Seeding

A true pirate shares their booty 🔥🔥

Now if only torrenting wouldn't mean an automatic 500€ invoice from a very specific law firm in my country :(

God, back in uni with free electricity and internet in the dorms, we managed to seed over a terabyte of data before IT got suspicious and turned off that port. Then we seeded over slower wifi until they turned the port back on next semester, haha. Good times.

That was where we learned that the pirated copies of stuff were easier to find, higher quality, and worked on hardware that websites declared "too old" to stream their content. It all started when we had a bunch of people over to watch a movie, and Amazon refused to play it on older hardware. It instantly converted half a dozen people to piracy, lol.

I'd love to find a good alternative to Rarbg, truly the end of an era

When rarbg went down I immediately went and for any torrent I still had loaded in my client I quadrupled my normal ratio (3.5 -> 12.00). Then I also just increased my ratio generally.

I wish I had more disk space to keep things going even longer, but I really gotta cycle stuff out unfortunately.

My crowning achievement is still seeding a 2.429TB torrent up to a 1.0 ratio, took me about 7 and a half months.

Not from the same source, but I'm in the middle of getting a 5GB file that took me five days so far and will take another five to complete. After that, I think I will keep sharing for as long as possible this one, since I see a lot of peers every day, even though there's only one seeder, from which I'm currently downloading at 10Kbps (and not because of my bandwidth, I think it's theirs that's a bit on the slow side).

I have slow upload, but once there are two seeds things should get better for all other peers, compared to now haha

Not all heros wear capes

Let me throw my seedbox into the ring. :)

Fun fact: This movie is on the 4k movies google drive

Is quality worth the 50gb?

I don't have any fancy speakers or monitor...

The only time I seed, really. If there's only like 2 or 3 seeders and they have shit connections, I'll seed for a while. Not that my upload speed is any good...

But on a thing with thousands of seeders and maybe 20 leeches? Why? 🤷🏻‍♂️

I seed anime OSTs, plenty enough and rare collections.

If you folks happen to download that category, chances are I am one of your sources 🤣

Thank you sailor.

Excellent work!

I did this with the That 70s show FGT torrents. Nobody seeds older media anymore, so each one had/has a >30 ratio on the 5GB-per-season BDrips

I wish for low-risk older media people would just keep the seed open forever. Very little bandwidth will be taken up but people will have it there if they want to go back and watch it.

I pretty much always leave stuff seeding once I get it these days. Ever since I bumped the disk space on my NAS it made it a lot easier to leave stuff instead of jockeying for space on disk.

My higher ratio items are all old shits like You Got Served lmao

And this is why I backup all the torrents I download. If I lose the drive, they might not be seeded anymore and I won't be able to re-download everything. There's stuff in my collection that was hard to find 5 years ago.

Had that with a few movies recently which took about a week to download. I removed my limits for those, I'm only at a ratio of 5 or smth on those tho. Still, it's honest work

Highest ratio I ever saw was from season 2 of one punch man. Was over 500.

The only torrent I ever removed my seed cap for was a set of DVD-audio ISOs. I had it downloading for months, but it never got above 5%. Eventually I found the same disc images on another site, so I dropped them in the download folder and rechecked the torrent, which came back 97% complete. The only files missing were box art scans and NFOs. I let that thing seed for about five months.

Plenty of seeders on private trackers

I rather just stick to Real-Debrid, and never worry about seeds nor seeding ever again. Cached torrents are the future!

I want to seed too, but I can't get anyone to receive it

The oldest active torrent I know of is the fanimatrix. I'm still seeding it just in case.

Yay.

Sometimes certain debried like Alldebried might be able to get you the torrent without any seeding p2p.

But they might be a paid service so that's up to you.

What client is that you're using here? UI seems nice
