Nice comeback, you wanna repeat that?

I believe what he said was
📣 ^(ahem) He would like to bend your mom over and fuck up her ratio, Mr. Garrison.

It’s technically not illegal till you seed
shea@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
you’re always sending and receiving data, that’s why it’s illegal the whole time. That’s what the little tab that says “ratio” is measuring, the ratio of hownmuch your uploading vs downloading. Afaik it’s pretty much impossible to use p2p file sharing without participating in spreading the files
brokenlcd@feddit.it 10 months ago
My internet is 1.5MBytes per second download… And 200kbytes upload, there was a torrent that i was able to save from dying, i remember the poor mf that downloaded for a whole week; to download 16GB since then he’s been seeding that file; the sheer tenacity that man had.
VonReposti@feddit.dk 10 months ago
That poor MF have been me a couple of times. I hate being interested in niche content sometimes… On the positive side, I have a strict no-delete policy on any public torrent with less than 5 in ratio or private torrents, so I carry forward the gesture so the previous seeder can take a break.
0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Yeah, have done that a few times.
Not only that, I have reconstructed dead torrents from files I’ve downloaded elsewhere (file sharing sites). If the files and filenames are the same, the hash will match, thus the client will start to seed it 😉.
YoorWeb@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I’m downloading various Linux distros just to seed them.

Tell that to the MPA 😂.

Ratio >= 2.00
JDubbleu@programming.dev 10 months ago
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.
misophist@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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.
Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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
JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Might just need to go download Holes now
kn33@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Got that one? I wouldn’t mind having it or helping out

W + ratio + yo ho ho + 🏴☠️
betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 10 months ago
You’re guaranteed to leave people unsatisfied if you stop immediately upon arriving at the seeding stage.
Gestrid@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
people unsatisfied
This describes me seeing my Astro Boy 2003 English dub torrent 99.98% complete a few weeks ago.n
PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 10 months ago
That’s often due to people excluding the .nfo and “downloaded from [x]”.txt files.
Aux@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Large popular trackers use seed boxes to provide torrents, your seeding is irrelevant. It is actually quite hard to get any ratio there as most people will get most data from the seed boxes.
But what’s even better is to use a popular seed box yourself. There are high chances that a popular torrent will simply be linked to your seed box account instantly, so you don’t have to download anything at all. I mean you still need to transfer it to your PC, but you don’t have to torrent anything.
na_th_an@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Yeah I don’t bother seeding things that are widely available. My connection isn’t good enough. I seed things that I have personal interest in with very few other seeders. Obscure media, software, and ebooks mostly.
Emerald@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I have no issue seeding on a 300mbps connection. I get tons of data upload.

JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Just gotta say I love your username
Pothetato@lemmy.world 10 months ago
But if I don’t stop seeding I get the threatening emails
regbin_@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Don’t talk to me if your average ratio is less than 1.0.
TealTallMachine@lemmy.world 10 months ago
My ratio is around 2.4 and that’s my proudest accomplishment for probably my entire life
regbin_@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I’m proud of you
FatTony@lemmy.world 10 months ago
How is this a Chad move???
megopie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
We should see more of these memes and subvert the notions that underpin the original meme formats.
0ops@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Calling someone a Chad used to be comparable to calling someone a Karen not that long ago. Chad’s were assholes who thought they were hot shit. At some point, unironically, Chad’s became actually hot shit
victorz@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I seed until 1.0, but no more. Or as much required by the private tracker I’m a member of, or more if I seen to gain a lot of ratio. Am I bad?
BluesF@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I seed way beyond the requirements, I’m totally happy for other people not to. I have a swanky setup that suits it - might as well. If you don’t, don’t.
ignotum@lemmy.world 10 months ago
A buddy was living with me for like two years or so, we had a lot of network issues, suddenly slowing down, not having nearly the speed we were supposed to,
Not long before he moved out i saw his torrent stats, while staying with me he had downloaded about 100GB, and seeded around 700TB!
This son of a gun had disabled any rate limit and been seeding at full capacity for two goddamn years, i haven’t had any network issues since
finestnothing@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Same, I seed for 1 month or 4x ratio. I only have one private tracker (myanonamouse for books) that requires 1x ratio or 2 weeks seeding (maybe 2x ratio?) But I have unlimited internet. I’ve been the sole seeder for music files quite a few times, and for tv shows once or twice before they get picked up by others again. No downside to over seeding since I leave my PC on for hosting my Plex instance anyway, I just rate limit my seeding if I’m trying to watch something on Plex outside of my network and it’s buffering a lot. I get a lot of files from a usenet server anyway so I’m not bogged down by a ton of torrents (have it set to 50 active torrents, don’t think I’ve ever gotten there), just the stuff not available on my usenet server
victorz@lemmy.world 10 months ago
In my defense, if it were ever necessary, I’m planning on getting a setup where I have some sort of NAS + Pi thing that together forms a seedbox and Plex media server. Right now my desktop PC has both jobs. Poor thing has been running basically nonstop since 2020.
sebinspace@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I use CGPeers for some stuff, and they have a stated required ratio. However, most of their stuff is FreeLeech anyway, so it doesn’t really matter than I’m in the green by about 78GB
mlg@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Darn leechers
BleatingZombie@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I’m the only one seeding Poker Night 2 and I’m never going to stop! That game needs to be treasured and preserved. I can’t let it be lost to time
Discover5164@lemm.ee 10 months ago
i have no autopause on seed ratio. if you download lilo & stitch it probably was from me, it has 500+ ratio.
but i limit upload speed (10mbps) otherwise my isp will complain… still doing ~500gb daily upload

You stop seeding because you are selfish.
I stop seeding because I am selfish.
We are the same.
nodsocket@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I stop seeding because I work for the MPA and I have finished logging all the IP addresses. We are not the same.
0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
I stop seeding when I don’t give AF, we’re not the same.
driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 10 months ago
🫡 more brave than the trops.
PriorityMotif@lemmy.world 10 months ago
They say they use a modified torrent client which doesn’t upload at all. I don’t believe them though.
balderdash9@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
Had to read that twice lol
Killer@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I stop seeding because otherwise i can’t have a good ping
HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
Ergo, selfish
saigot@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
If you need around with the qol settings in your router you can mitigate that.
