Comment on Meta claims torrenting pirated books isn’t illegal without proof of seeding
Fedegenerate@lemmynsfw.com 1 week agoSeeding to ratios is self correcting, in my inexperienced opinion as I only share ISOs.
Unpopular thing sits on someone’s computer (not mine) for ages just happily waiting until it’s useful. Popular thing is in and out. Purely for files intended to be churned; try a distro (in facebooks case a book) use it, and delete it.
1:3 could be said to be a minimum (1 for to pay back, 1 to pay forward, and 1 to pay for a leecher)
Things that are going to be archived can be set as limitless as long as strain on hardware can be tolerated.

What hardware strain are you concerned about? Seeding is just a read, which is pretty gentle on hardware, especially if it’s an SSD.
The bigger concern IMO is saturating your bandwidth, making other things perform poorly, but then you can just cap bandwidth.

Me? None. But I left room for someone who might.
