Meanwhile me who just never deletes anything:
Thank you for your service.
Some people including OP are completely missing the point of torrenting, which is to share, not leech. If everyone removed their torrents like the OP, everything would quickly become unavailable and die.
IMO a better strategy is to just limit your global upload speed. Then at least you’re still making everything healthy and available, even if its distributed slowly.
Noobie question: Is keeping my PC running to seed torrents taxing on the HDD or would it shorten its lifespan?
It’ll probably tax your HD a bit more, sure.
If everyone torrented like OP, then no torrent would ever become unavailable and die.
Since they keep seeding until 2 users have the torrent.
Nice iso collection
Clearly a distro-hopper, my hero.
if you snatch a popular torrent that is fine but with dying torrents that is quite harmful
Agree. I dont delete anything unless the quality is shit
I’m considering getting a seedbox because with my current storage setup, and my unwillingness to keep the vpn up all the time 2.0 is the best I can do.
Dumb question, why?
Because 200% should be your minimum, not your max. 🤌🏼
If there’s no one left to seed, the torrent dies. Seeding back at least 200% ensures the torrent stays healthy.
Sometimes you need to seed back more than 200% because the other two people might not be able to seed it back. I would generally not set a limit
True, but as a minimum you should be doing 200%.
Also in a ideal scenario that 200% would be spread out to a lot more people then just 2.OP is showing 200% as their maximum. That’s the whole point of this thread. 🤌🏼
yo momma🤌🏿
my ratio limit is 250… just because at that point i want to seed something else that is in queue.
but i have upload capped at 30mbps, this way i do ~1TB upload per day.
i can’t leave it uncapped or my ips will come knock on my door. but that’s on me for torrenting from a public ipv4 without any vpn
I’ve made it my mission to use as much data as possible since my ISP forced me to pay more when they implemented some arbitrary data cap. Gots keep seeding until I run out of space to store content!
Noob. I once accidentally seeded to a ratio of 435 and blew 2TB of data 🥴
Why limit seeding unless you’re on a metered connection?
Because I have limited space.
Seeding doesn’t take up more space, unless you were planning to delete the thing, which doesn’t make much sense.
