There are at least 3 Linux isos in those 700 torrents.

I think you've won, great work!

[–] twiked@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 days ago

I'm lucky to be in a position to do that, a few years ago I would've dreamt of reaching what most shared here

FBI, open up!

My most uploaded file is a copy of Shrek 2 with Latin American Spanish dub, it took me over a month to download. I swear to God the only one seeding it was someone who would just open their client, download whatever they were looking for, then shut it off. It's the only copy of that dub I could find in decent quality. Now I'm at ~50 ratio for that file.

If you can only find 0 seed torrents just chuck it in your client anyway, I've had several actually complete.

This is great advice. It's easy to get disheartened with a spinning torrent, but heroes like you can turn that around.

I've once had to bring up my ratio on a (now defunct) private torrent site in orde to download new torrents. I was looking for high leech low seed torrents, and I am ashamed to say I've seeded over 500 GB of granny porn (like 20gb original size). Brought up my ratio, tho.

For how long are you doing this and what's your upload speed?

[–] maxprime@lemmy.ml 19 points 5 days ago

I started using qbit about a year ago after using deluge. I have gb down and 100mb up.

Unironically, a lot of that ratio is from Linux isos and other open source software distribution. Take the load off their servers!

[–] LMagicalus@discuss.tchncs.de 45 points 5 days ago (1 children)

My upload ratio looks like ass because I edit videos for a thing with friends, and we use torrent to send the raw footage between computers. So I have like a 0.2 ratio because I'm downloading 5 gigs and then we kill the torrent.

It's strange that people know how to create and share torrents but not open a port or install an FTP server.

[–] LMagicalus@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 5 days ago (2 children)

My friends aren't tech nerds, they dont want to do that stuff unfortunately. Qbittorent is simple enough for them to adopt without complaint.

I have so many files that have been stalled at >95% for months.

[–] Petter1@lemm.ee 12 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Have you checked what is missing, sometimes people only pick the wanted files from a torrent, so maybe those 5% are just bloat nobody cared to seed as well.

Good point. There are some where it's just a few miscellaneous files missing.

[–] PiJiNWiNg@sh.itjust.works 16 points 5 days ago

Thanks for making up for my shortcomings <3

[–] Tregetour@lemdro.id 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

In terms ot total data moved, I have 2.4TiB up on a Star Trek full season pack, for a ~35 ratio. That torrent's been around for years and I suspect won't die for many years yet. Oldest seeded torrent would be about 8 years.

This is behind NAT, 12mbits upstream.

Nice. I just got above 2 for my ratio. I don't have symmetric internet, but I have my torrents set up to never stop, and I don't delete.

for every upload there must be a download.

for every download there must be an upload.

It must be symmetrical, meaning that you boasting, you being better than other people is only possible because others aren't good enough.
