I keep seeing in forums and sites like these that say it’s frowned upon to not seed torrents that you use/used. I saw a post on here or Reddit (I don’t remember) with a guy ecstatic that someone started seeding his download he had been trying to get done for months. I know seeding lets someone download something using your computer but how is it helpful if someone doesn’t have a site and/or isn’t “in-range” ?
If you can’t tell, I don’t know much about how torrenting works other than how to download something using one. I hope that you all can just explain or point me in the right direction because I would like to support the community.
If you have slower internet or don’t seed 24/7, I would recommend just focusing on seediing torrents with a low number of seeders. It doesn’t really matter if you leech the latest episode of a popular new TV series, as there will be so many other seeders, (many with a better capacity to seed). However, for something older or more niche your decision to seed or leech could determine whether someone else gets to enjoy that content.
I do exactly this, most of my seeds are either books or extremely esoteric films and TV.
Speaking of which… anyone know where I can find the show “Kid Nation”?
If you search on solidtorrents.to there is a version with ~17 seeders.
You’re not wrong, but it bugs me when my ratio drops, so I always seed everything I download.
My stats:
nice
Doing the Lord’s work! Damn, I only have an all-time ratio of 2.15, gotta step up my game.
