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

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.
1 is my goal, though I think I might have reached 2 once. Because shitty ADSL 😭
My very grateful thanks to people who can afford to do more.
Yeah, my ratios skyrocketed when I finally got access to fiber. Went from struggling to hit 1.0, to easily hitting 150.0. My highest ratio is nearly 1000.
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'm on VPN so my highest is like 6.
I'm got a 100Mbps upload but nobody wants it through a VPN. 😢
It is lovely to see so many people training their AIs
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.
Probably books lol
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.
~50x
My policy is double my download, minimum. But I almost always hit much higher than that, my average is probably between 5-10x
All my torrents are public sites, and I only torrent pretty common stuff, so I don't feel too bad about killing a torrent after a week or two. I figure 5-10x average on easy-to-find, mid quality media is plenty in the karmic sense lol.
As far as I am concerned, always give better than you get, even if that's 1.01 but try to aim higher.
Of course, if you're seeding a rare or otherwise hard to find piece of media, then you should keep it alive for longer. I am in the process of upgrading my torrent machine, and once that happens, I will be able to hold far more active torrents, and my average ratios will be significantly improved.
Happy sailing!
I've had about 1000 ratio on linux mint xfce, version 22.0 iirc
I'm coming up on 10000 for linux mint that I started nearly 300 days ago. 2.7GiB download, 24.8TiB upload.
My next highest is GIMP 3.0 at a little over 400.
Yeah I was gonna say I think I have like a 2000 ratio for Ubuntu 24.04 desktop, server, and some 3rd one that I’ve been seeding since it came out.
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.
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
Geez. I seed until I upload twice what I downloaded. Am I a stingy bastard?
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 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.
Just checked, it's a Ubuntu ISO
1904.21
MacOS monte - 485
MacOS Ventura - 327
Placebo - Without You I'm Nothing - 263
Monkey Island 1 - 243
ACE - 165
AmigaPower - 154
Weekly Famitsu 1993 Complete - 141I 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).
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).
"Trainwreck - Poop Cruise" is my current #1 ratio.
I usually delete after watching so this is just among recent downloads.
0 because no port forwarding
I had gotten 100+ without port forwarding. Port forwarding is overrated, seeding time and popularity of torrent is what really matters.
not overrated. at least one side needs to be open.
I would get about 20x to 50x more up traffic with a forwarded port and no IPv6, as opposed to no forwarded port and IPv6.
If you're willing to take the time to learn a bit of podman/docker, you should check out my recent post on I2P torrenting. There's no problems with port forwarding on the I2P network. There are other ways to torrent over I2P without podman/docker too, you'll just have to research them yourself
definitely will set that up once i build or buy a server pc. I've been postponing that for a year or so because school and new job have been pretty demanding mentally
