You stop seeding because you are selfish.
I stop seeding because I am selfish.
We are the same.
I stop seeding because I work for the MPA and I have finished logging all the IP addresses. We are not the same.
Had to read that twice lol
I was shocked to learn just the other day that my boyfriend is a dirty leecher
Dump him!
It's technically not illegal till you seed
My internet is 1.5MBytes per second download... And 200kbytes upload, there was a torrent that i was able to save from dying, i remember the poor mf that downloaded that file from me for a whole week; to download 16GB since then he's been seeding that file; the sheer tenacity that man had.
Edit:english is difficult
That poor MF have been me a couple of times. I hate being interested in niche content sometimes... On the positive side, I have a strict no-delete policy on any public torrent with less than 5 in ratio or private torrents, so I carry forward the gesture so the previous seeder can take a break.
Yeah, have done that a few times. Used to have a 20MBit/5MBit cable internet, it was hell to be honest. Still I've managed to seed well over 500 or 600GB a month on that thing (I never turned the PC off 😂). Now I got 50/50. I used to seed about 3 or 4TB a month, but I can't have my PC on like that any more, the electric bill was too high 😔.
Not only that, I have reconstructed dead torrents from files I've downloaded elsewhere (file sharing sites). If the files and filenames are the same, the hash will match, thus the client will start to seed it 😉.
I'm downloading various Linux distros just to seed them.
Please stop! My penis can only become so erect!
Tell that to the MPA 😂.
Ratio >= 2.00
Myself and one other person have been upholding a torrent of the movie Holes since last June. My ratio is over 30, and I can only imagine how large theirs is since they were the only seeder when I downloaded the movie. I've cleared out some older torrents since then, but I'll be damned if Holes ever comes off my home server at this point.
Edit: The torrent for those who asked

Rescued it from a dying torrent and have been seeding for a decade. Ratio is about 100/1
W + ratio + yo ho ho + 🏴☠️
I always set to 15 and to stop after 7 days of inactivity. Feels good
Yup, I have mine set to 5.00 and four weeks. Because sometimes I download old/obscure stuff that can take a few weeks to even get new activity. But if it’s active, I can at least get to the 5.00 ratio before stopping.
If I have a VPN and upload speed limits set, there’s very little reason not to.
You're guaranteed to leave people unsatisfied if you stop immediately upon arriving at the seeding stage.
Large popular trackers use seed boxes to provide torrents, your seeding is irrelevant. It is actually quite hard to get any ratio there as most people will get most data from the seed boxes.
But what's even better is to use a popular seed box yourself. There are high chances that a popular torrent will simply be linked to your seed box account instantly, so you don't have to download anything at all. I mean you still need to transfer it to your PC, but you don't have to torrent anything.
Yeah I don't bother seeding things that are widely available. My connection isn't good enough. I seed things that I have personal interest in with very few other seeders. Obscure media, software, and ebooks mostly.
I have no issue seeding on a 300mbps connection. I get tons of data upload.
🍆💦
Just gotta say I love your username
Don't talk to me if your average ratio is less than 1.0.
My ratio is around 2.4 and that's my proudest accomplishment for probably my entire life
I'm proud of you
How is this a Chad move???
Edit: Wait, maybe this is to reflect on the fact that physical beauty can harbour its ugly side, all the same. That we should not go about: "I am the handsome character and you are the ugly character, so I am right." Yes, after much consideration I have concluded that this meme should remain as is.
We should see more of these memes and subvert the notions that underpin the original meme formats.
Calling someone a Chad used to be comparable to calling someone a Karen not that long ago. Chad's were assholes who thought they were hot shit. At some point, unironically, Chad's became actually hot shit
Darn leechers
I seed until 1.0, but no more. Or as much required by the private tracker I'm a member of, or more if I seem to gain a lot of ratio. Am I bad?
I seed way beyond the requirements, I'm totally happy for other people not to. I have a swanky setup that suits it - might as well. If you don't, don't.
A buddy was living with me for like two years or so, we had a lot of network issues, suddenly slowing down, not having nearly the speed we were supposed to,
Not long before he moved out i saw his torrent stats, while staying with me he had downloaded about 100GB, and seeded around 700TB!
This son of a gun had disabled any rate limit and been seeding at full capacity for two goddamn years, i haven't had any network issues since
In my defense, if it were ever necessary, I'm planning on getting a setup where I have some sort of NAS + Pi thing that together forms a seedbox and Plex media server. Right now my desktop PC has both jobs. Poor thing has been running basically nonstop since 2020.
Same, I seed for 1 month or 4x ratio. I only have one private tracker (myanonamouse for books) that requires 1x ratio or 2 weeks seeding (maybe 2x ratio?) But I have unlimited internet. I've been the sole seeder for music files quite a few times, and for tv shows once or twice before they get picked up by others again. No downside to over seeding since I leave my PC on for hosting my Plex instance anyway, I just rate limit my seeding if I'm trying to watch something on Plex outside of my network and it's buffering a lot. I get a lot of files from a usenet server anyway so I'm not bogged down by a ton of torrents (have it set to 50 active torrents, don't think I've ever gotten there), just the stuff not available on my usenet server
I use CGPeers for some stuff, and they have a stated required ratio. However, most of their stuff is FreeLeech anyway, so it doesn’t really matter than I’m in the green by about 78GB
I'm the only one seeding Poker Night 2 and I'm never going to stop! That game needs to be treasured and preserved. I can't let it be lost to time
Are you getting any peers though?
If I had a paid VPN I could use to seed, I'd definitely think about seeding. Best I can do are releases of Libre Office so my ISP can't shit bricks and get pissed at me.
i have no autopause on seed ratio. if you download lilo & stitch it probably was from me, it has 500+ ratio.
but i limit upload speed (10mbps) otherwise my isp will complain.... still doing ~500gb daily upload
Sharing is caring you selfish prick
Bruh
God ole hit and run.
