Hey all, I know a lot of people are migrating to private torrent sites, and OK, that's a choice. However there are still a lot of people on the public torrents who are just leeching and not seeding.

I have several popular (old/classic) movies in my feed that I have uploaded (literally) 1000x the original and many more in the several hundred times. That's fine, I choose to support the community, but it's pretty depressing when I look at the seeders count and those movies have 2 or 3 other seeders.

This only works if you share. Please don't cut off as soon as you've downloaded.

And on a personal note, if anyone has audio or video files for "Machine Gun Fellatio" also listed as MGF could you please start seeding in particular

"MGF Pack 1"

"MGF+Pack+2"

"MGF+Pack+3"

If I can get the download completed I'll keep them up permanently, but unfortunately as they are obscure/rare I'm getting nowhere.

Rules don't permit me showing the torrent link of course. DM if that would help

After I've gotten 1gbit fiber I tend to try and hit ratio 1000:1 on anything I seed. Back when I was on xDSL connections before fiber, I tried to hit 1.1:1 because my thinking was if everyone tried to do that, there'd literally never be data loss.
I recently tried getting "The Sinking of the Laconia" miniseries and it took 8 days to get it. But I'm not member of a private tracker where it was available anyway, so sometimes public is better as long as one is patient.

I've been seeding for over 3 years. I only have a torrent that got up to 980 of ratio, if I remember correctly

It doesn't take too long with smaller <1GB releases.

collapsed inline media

EDIT: I am pretty happy about the one at 755 ratio. 78GB * 755 = 57TB. That alone is 35% of everything I've uploaded since I installed qBittorrent in February.

All that since.. february?! how? I have had the same install for three years and I'm only at 400tb total..

(164 TB * 1024) / (16 * 3 * 30) = 116 GB pr hour while the computer is turned on (it's turned off when I sleep so only online ~16 hours a day).
Theoretical maximum for a 1gbit connection is 125 MB pr second or 7,5 GB pr minute or 450 GB pr hour.
So it's only using ~26% of it's theoretical upload speed, which seems about right, those are the speeds I most often see my client running at, plus minus 26MiB/s.

I average 6-8mb/s average upload, while having a 200 cap on connected peers. If I let it unbrided, the upload gets to 30-35mb/s but DNS queries slow down a lot (my isp's router is crap). But yeah, you're doing god's work. What trackers are you on? I'm only on nyaa, plus a couple private ones.
