For me it’s YIFY versions of older movies
Geez. I seed until I upload twice what I downloaded. Am I a stingy bastard?
Worst pirate ever, but also the best kind of person!
I see a lot of older Linux distros in this thread, why do that many people download them?
A lot of legacy stuff that’s really expensive and time consuming to upgrade. If it ain’t broken (and protected from the internet), don’t fix it.
Just checked, it’s a Ubuntu ISO
1904.21
I tend to stop torrents when they hit 1000, I feel like that’s a “good enough” contribution on public stuff, except when I notice less than 100 seeders, then I tend to keep it going.
Top 58 I guess. Especially proud of the 800+ ratio on a 78 GB one (78*800≈61TB).
It is lovely to see so many people training their AIs
are you seeding AI datasets?
Probably books lol
Pirating to train AIs is legal†.
† in some jurisdictions only; you may need to be a rich corporation for that to apply.
I’ve had about 1000 ratio on linux mint xfce, version 22.0 iirc
Yeah I was gonna say I think I have like a 2000 ratio for Ubuntu 24.04 desktop, server, and some 3rd one that I’ve been seeding since it came out.
What torrent client is in the screenshot?
Tixati.
I use it mostly because it has a lot more options and flexibility, and also just because i’m already using it and it’s a pain in the ass to switch
I think I once had 20 seed ratio on the tv series Psych. Haven’t seeded since my vpn got all wonky on me, I’ll start again for sure.
MacOS monte - 485
MacOS Ventura - 327
Placebo - Without You I’m Nothing - 263
Monkey Island 1 - 243
ACE - 165
AmigaPower - 154
Weekly Famitsu 1993 Complete - 141“Trainwreck - Poop Cruise” is my current #1 ratio.
I usually delete after watching so this is just among recent downloads.
I have one or two YIFY movies that I haven’t been able to find on multiple private trackers (that usually cover all my needs) and the seed ratio is over 1,000 (since early 2021).
Public torrents of course get a lot of action (even relatively niche content).
0 because no port forwarding
If you’re willing to take the time to learn a bit of podman/docker, you should check out my recent post on I2P torrenting. There’s no problems with port forwarding on the I2P network. There are other ways to torrent over I2P without podman/docker too, you’ll just have to research them yourself
definitely will set that up once i build or buy a server pc. I’ve been postponing that for a year or so because school and new job have been pretty demanding mentally
I had gotten 100+ without port forwarding. Port forwarding is overrated, seeding time and popularity of torrent is what really matters.
not overrated. at least one side needs to be open.
I would get about 20x to 50x more up traffic with a forwarded port and no IPv6, as opposed to no forwarded port and IPv6.
as soon as a download finishes, upload drops to 0 and it never sends a single byte even if i keep it seeding for a week. thought that was a port forwarding issue…
