CoupleMemesWe need gif replies just so we can post all the "that's bait" memes.
More for me!
Whenever I see a file with a single seeder: "Thank you for your service, your solitary watch is over 🫡"
I just use a raspberry pi, leave them all going and set the upload to some manageable speed that won't fuck up my cap. Then just tailscale in whenever I need to add something and I'm not home
I seed to 10:1 ratio or 1 calendar month... whatever arrives first
For special files (anything harder to find), I let it go the month regardless of ratio
My hero.
I only have an old laptop with 512 Gb of storage as a media server, so i can't seed as much as I'd like to. But thank you for your service, much appreciated
This meme is exactly why private trackers exist. The normal distribution of humanity ensures some significant portion simply cannot play nice.
Genuine question, I've only ever been busted or had my service suspended from seeding stuff, how would I avoid that? I feel bad but I generally cancel out of pithy self preservation unless its some real niche shit no one is paying attention to.
VPN
Just like that? I'm way behind on the tech and it's always been spooky to me. Any good reference for getting started/picking services?
There’s regular updates to the best one so you may have to do a web search to find some privacy community/subreddit that has a comparison chart of some sort.
Last I looked Proton was popular, but I never trusted them because they seem like they want to be google. I went with Mulvad, which is a great VPN but one of the CEOs just came out as donating to nazis so I don’t even know any more.
I personally use AirVPN as they allow port forwarding, but I also use my NAS as a seed box.
Docker -> Gluetun + qBittorrent
Being evil together?
Evil? Sharing is caring!
But the meme is them not sharing.
I dont torrent any more, but i never paid attention to the ratio or anything. I just left stuff seeding for about 2 weeks before stopping it.
Did I do good or bad?
Sometimes I'll leave a torrent up for days and my ratio is still tiny. So it's all relative.
I have had some torrents for literal years and have not broken 1.5 ratio. Sometimes you just get low in demand torrents.
In that span of time you *may have potentially shared the entire file several times. Ideally to people who would also share at least as much as you did. Anything is better than nothing
you did better than most, but it really depends on the popularity of what you were torrenting. I've had stuff up for months that still hasn't hit a 1.0 ratio, and stuff that hit 1.0 after a couple days.
3.04 ratio
Not bad. How many gigs?
2ish Tb.
i will raise my upload rate above 0 AFTER i find my way through the legal landscape.
