And join private trackers, quality is better and you pretty much get seeds all the time.
I have a great seeding record, but cant find any private trackers to join....

i only re-started my torrenting activities in the last few years since the streaming landscape has become a hellscape

I love seeding.
No one wants my seed.
Isn't that what streamio effectively does?
I do think this is the real issue, these programs like Kodi and stremio do exactly that.
tragedy of the Commons, with external pressure to boot.
All my torrents seed for a bit but then remain in "queue" forever.
I can't seed even though I want to because my vpn
Sorry guys but I'm living out of a 500GB hard drive. Anything that I'm not using regularly gets purged.
Is it possible to obtain stats what seed ratio you need to get to on average for a torrent not to die?
It really depends on the tracker in use. I tend to stick to private trackers, so I feel relatively safe stopping seeding at a ratio of 2-3. For public trackers, your ratio would have to be pretty dang high because most people stop seeding on those.
Maybe one day ProtonVPN will fix their port-forwarding for their configuration files, I haven’t seen anyone else complain about this and their support is oblivious that this function even exists.
For people wondering the Learn More link just tells you what port forwarding does.
