Myself and one other person have been upholding a torrent of the movie Holes since last June. My ratio is over 30, and I can only imagine how large theirs is since they were the only seeder when I downloaded the movie. I’ve cleared out some older torrents since then, but I’ll be damned if Holes ever comes off my home server at this point.
My seeding rules are simple. If it comes from one of my private trackers or it contains Shia LaBeouf, I seed it forever. Everything else is auto-removed from my client when ratio reaches 2.0.
I use transmission, but share ratios are pretty common and I’m almost positive qBittorrent had the same options when I last used that one several years ago.
Look in your settings for “Set share limit to” “ratio: x.xx”
You can set a global share limit in your settings, and you can modify the setting for specific torrents when you add them or any time by digging into the torrent’s properties.
My defaults are to seed to 2.0 ratio, and when I queue something up manually from one of my private trackers, I manually change the setting for that specific torrent to permaseed.

Can I ask what client you use? I want to implement the same auto-remove on qbittorent but idk if I’m just not seeing that setting or what.

My “one” is an 18gb folder of every episode of Fred Dibnah
Rescued it from a dying torrent and have been seeding for a decade. Ratio is about 100/1

Might just need to go download Holes now

It is a fantastic movie that’s held up well over 20 years.
