MODERATORS
For me it's YIFY versions of older movies
are you seeding AI datasets?
Pirating to train AIs is legal^†^.
^†^ in some jurisdictions only; you may need to be a rich corporation for that to apply.
Worst pirate ever, but also the best kind of person!
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.
I remember using Cent OS (dual booting it alongside Debian) multiple years back. I think it had more or less feature parity with RHEL then and meant for personal use case unlike RHEL.
Too bad it was discontinued. I think the closest fork of it is Rocky Linux.
What 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 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.
4741
One small old book that used to be hard to find in good quality. I've it seeding for years, and being so small and in risk of being lost I've never taken it down.
Out of curiosity, which book?
I have no mouth and I must scream.
It was originally published as part of a book compilation, and it was kind of hard to find a file with just that story and without typos all over the place.
My all time ratio is not that high (101.8), but I have seeded an average of 1.124 TiB per day for the last three years on with my home server. All my devices included, I average 1.7 TiB per day
Size or uploaded?
What do you mean? Vast majority of it is seeded via torrents, a small part shared through soulseek
Geez. I seed until I upload twice what I downloaded. Am I a stingy bastard?
If you gotta make space then you gotta make space. If it's relatively popular things then there's always gonna be someone
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).

It's JAV lol
Same lol, this is MIDV-120, Found this at 1 seed with 100 KiB/s upload speed, I think it's safe to say I single handedly revived this torrent.
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).
I'm on VPN so my highest is like 6.
I'm got a 100Mbps upload but nobody wants it through a VPN. 😢
"Trainwreck - Poop Cruise" is my current #1 ratio.
I usually delete after watching so this is just among recent downloads.
I feel so tiny next to some of the big numbers in here. My top ratio is 11.64x with 1.3TB up. But the current setup has only been up for two months.
Time is essential, a high seed ratio is indication of time spent seeding more than anything else
I have 2-3k ratios on Das Kapital by Marx and the manga version of Das Kapital. In fact all my highest ratios are some politcal classic ebooks with one comedy series mixed into it.
i had more but qbittorrent reset on me :( i always feel bad about stopping seeding cause ppl might need them :3
