For me it’s YIFY versions of older movies
Geez. I seed until I upload twice what I downloaded. Am I a stingy bastard?
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.
Worst pirate ever, but also the best kind of person!
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?
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 - 141What 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’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.
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.
“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
I had gotten 100+ without port forwarding. Port forwarding is overrated, seeding time and popularity of torrent is what really matters.
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.
not overrated. at least one side needs to be open.
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…
