For me it’s YIFY versions of older movies

      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.

      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

    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).

      I had gotten 100+ without port forwarding. Port forwarding is overrated, seeding time and popularity of torrent is what really matters.

        as soon as a download finishes, upload drops to 0 and it never sends a single byte even if i keep it seeding for a week. thought that was a port forwarding issue…

            Because you’re able to connect to people who have port forwarding set up. Meanwhile, anyone like yourself without it is unable to connect to you.

          I can get 1 MB/s, but honestly 200 KB/s is fast enough for me, I just wait a few hours to torrent an entire show. In terms of content most of the show I want to watch are uploaded to Postman tracker

        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

    “Trainwreck - Poop Cruise” is my current #1 ratio.

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

        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 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).

    ~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!

      My thinking is that i’ll start deleting stuff when i run out of space, which it turns out will never happen because 4Tb is apparently enough to store more movies than i’ll ever want to watch.

      So 2k+ movies are just sitting there passively seeding in the background and i just kinda let them. I really don’t know which ones are rare, but surely i must have saved a couple torrents from dying over the years. I know there’s a lot of churn in seeders so i feel good being long-term

    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.

    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.
