Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

~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!

Geez. I seed until I upload twice what I downloaded. Am I a stingy bastard?

Just checked, it's a Ubuntu ISO

1904.21

It is lovely to see so many people training their AIs

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 - 141

I've had about 1000 ratio on linux mint xfce, version 22.0 iirc

What torrent client is in the screenshot?

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 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.

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).

"Trainwreck - Poop Cruise" is my current #1 ratio.

I usually delete after watching so this is just among recent downloads.
