if you snatch a popular torrent that is fine but with dying torrents that is quite harmful
Dumb question, why?
Because 200% should be your minimum, not your max. 🤌🏼
If there’s no one left to seed, the torrent dies. Seeding back at least 200% ensures the torrent stays healthy.
Sometimes you need to seed back more than 200% because the other two people might not be able to seed it back. I would generally not set a limit
True, but as a minimum you should be doing 200%.
Also in a ideal scenario that 200% would be spread out to a lot more people then just 2.OP is showing 200% as their maximum. That’s the whole point of this thread. 🤌🏼
I’m considering getting a seedbox because with my current storage setup, and my unwillingness to keep the vpn up all the time 2.0 is the best I can do.
Agree. I dont delete anything unless the quality is shit
Meanwhile me who just never deletes anything:
Thank you for your service.
Some people including OP are completely missing the point of torrenting, which is to share, not leech. If everyone removed their torrents like the OP, everything would quickly become unavailable and die.
IMO a better strategy is to just limit your global upload speed. Then at least you’re still making everything healthy and available, even if its distributed slowly.
Noobie question: Is keeping my PC running to seed torrents taxing on the HDD or would it shorten its lifespan?
It’ll probably tax your HD a bit more, sure.
If everyone torrented like OP, then no torrent would ever become unavailable and die.
Since they keep seeding until 2 users have the torrent.
Nice iso collection
Clearly a distro-hopper, my hero.
