I’ll admit, when I first started torrent I was not really familiar with how it worked and how important seeding was. I would just use magnet links without configuration to save the torrent and seed after completion. Well… I have finally, got myself back to 1.00 after a couple months and working to try to always seed double what I get for each torrent.
Often times I was one of the few random seeders available for some of these torrents. Friendly reminder to give back because you never know when you’re one of the rare cases that can complete someones long lost file download!
pretty proud of my ratio of 6 yrs
I mean have you really only downloaded less than 500gb or is almost everything free seed and doesn’t count on your download stats.
Eitherway nice seeding, good job
yeah, I mostly download free seeds and I don’t think that adds to the download count, I’ve definitely downloaded more than 500gb
“Session waste”?
Me with lemmy on the toilet.
My seed ratio is 1.2. I’d seed more, but I download a lot of different things and my home server is limited on space at the moment.
I get a gig down but only 50mbps up (fucking spectrum), so I gotta limit seeding the same way or I’d just crush my upload speed all the time.
Spectrum is the shittiest company known to man. Double and triple billing, they bill a month ahead so your paying for service you haven’t yet used, horrible speed my as well be false advertising, customer support is terrible. They fraud charged and upsold services to get discounts which was a lock you in contract scam price. All time worst companies ever.
Way to go, keep it up!
Took me a while to find the stats tab, I didnt know it was available lol
Hoping to hit 400 TB uploaded this year :3
I’m doing my part.png
I have like 250 KB/s for seeding maybe 250 Kb/s max (min)
I just round it down to 0 kb(B)/s to prevent brain overhead
It’s been at the same ratio for the last 3 years… Never managed to get more…
Those are rookie numbers. You need to pump those numbers up.
That’s the spirit!
My rule of thumb has always been to share to ratio 1.1. Side thought: Maybe there’s a funny correlation between birthrates needing to be 2.1 for a stable population, the extra .1 to make up for deaths, and well, the 2 is because it takes two to make a baby.Anyway, since we're all sharing, these are my stats from 41 days ago when I switched to Nobara.
(Gigabit internet is the biggest luxury I allow myself to splurge on.)You can back up those by copying ~/.local/share/qBittorrent and ~/.config/qBittorrent

What are you using? I need to carve time out to get my unraid server to work with jellyfin and arr and seed with deluge. My current set up moves the files to the right folder once I have completed my download so I never get over 1.0 ratio.
I always lose my seeds because I like to rename my files. Any workarounds?
Change the file name in the torrent client :)
This is what I do as well
I change the directory in my client. This moves the download to my preferred location for plex, etc. And it seeds from there instead
Keep the files in a dedicated torrents folder then make symlinks to where you actually want them?
Hardlinking files to their new destination and your normalized naming schema. Using symlinks would be madness.
Wow I didnt realize I was this close…When I am seeding a torrent with less than 5 seeders I just let it go forever. So far I have about 15 of those. Eventually I’ll have to drop them… but I’ll be there hero until then.
Da good stuff
We thank you for your service
