ITT: Post your seed ratio! Also general seeding discussion, such as what you are currently seeding, how to optimize hardware/programs for seeding, and the ethics of seeding.FAQ>Why should I bother seeding on public trackers, since there is no benefit to me?The way people act online is often analogous to how they act offline. By seeding, you are affirming that you will help others without expecting anything in return, which contributes to a healthy and high-trust society. Additionally, all of the people you are seeding for share your interests!>Do I need a VPN to seed?That depends on your location and the content you seed. In first-world countries, it is typically prudent to use a VPN while torrenting. To discuss VPNs in-depth visit >>>/t/sqt/>I have slow internet, should I bother seeding?Yes! Especially for a torrent that is not well-seeded, you can make the difference between its life and death.>What is a good seed ratio?As high as you can realistically achieve. Since torrent clients automatically manage seeding, many users opt to leave their torrent client running in the background regardless of seed ratios or upload speeds. However, if torrents are completely consuming your upload bandwidth and interfering with other tasks, it is simple to limit upload speeds in any torrent client. Additionally, it is possible in programs like qBitTorrent to automatically pause or remove torrents after reaching a specified ratio, such as 2.00, 3.00, 5.00, etc., if this is desired.>What is the advantage of using a seedbox?Seedboxes offer drastically increased upload speeds, 24/7 uptime, and can earn you points in private trackers. You can also use these to keep your favorite public torrents alive and healthy.>What are private trackers and how do I get in one?See dedicated thread: >>>/g/ptg/Previous thread: >>1066779
>>1192429Based OP for making a new thread and also Gabriel Dropout enjoyer.
I have 8 completed torrents on seeding, a couple months old, and my upload has never gone up.i want to help bros but i dunno what's wrong with my client (qBittorrent)
>>1192429>>Why should I bother seeding on public trackers, since there is no benefit to me? Another way to think about it is, if everything had this mindset, torrents would be useless.
I mainly download animu & movie,usually seeding during week end when leecher kinda high

>>1192429how do I private tracker?
>>1195508Why did you delete these torrents? Also fuck private trackers.
>>1195535To free up space. I typically seed 10x what I download or until I need the space to download something.
How do you seed something as small as a 1.2 MB PDF file about Russian grammar? I'm using Transmission but my Internet is probably bad that it won't seed, or maybe I don't understand this tech very well
Approaching 2 years
I only started taking torrenting seriously last week. In the past 5 days I've seeded approx. 20TB on a few different private trackers. Running 3 different seed boxes
>>1197875>private trackerswhy do you do this to yourself?

>>1197880>using sites with 99% hit and run ratesWhy do this to yourself?
>>1198690>>1199060Lmao this is such cope. The entire point of torrenting is to make everything, especially old and hard to get material, available to everyone, not to create elitist circle jerks, that just make the same materials hard to get. Being kind is a thankless job and thats why I host torrents. Private trackers are a cancer
>>1199172Calm down, they both have their advantages.Public trackers for convenience, private trackers for quantity and quality. Just use them both like a normal person instead of choosing camps.

new to /t/ how do I get my ratio up I am seeding 9 torrents but my ratio is 0.05. does qbit stop seeding anytime it isn't actually open on my desktop?
>>1202397By default it should continually seed in the background. You can find it in your taskbar.
>>1202397Well, you can check your settings for that. But if this is a private tracker we're talking about, it's more likely that there is simply no one downloading the torrent.
>>1192429how do i seed better lads?
>>1202601maybe the other seeder is stealing all your uploador the leechers connection is shit
>seed ratio: 1.01i am a giving man
>>1192429Approaching that 1PB mark
>>1204669based
>>1192514Depends on what stuff you're seeding. If you're seeding obscure stuff you might only see them uploading once or twice a year and in that case I wouldn't worry about it. If you're seeding normalfag shit and you never see any uploads then that'd be something to investigate.
I don't do any automatic, I just seed the stuff I like. These stats really new though (< a few months) and most of my torrenting is done through transmission cli, there I have it set up so it automatically starts after a magnet or infohash is clicked and goes to the right folder based if keywords are found in any folders. I use Qbittorrent for large torrents that I only want to download small parts from.

Tho those who do cap your upload speeds, what do you cap them to? I have unlimited internet, but still in the small print there must be some stuff about 'unreasonable use' or whatever. I don't wanna fall foul of them, I don't wanna even grab their attention, don't wanna enter their radar. What's a good speed to cap it to so I can do it 24/7 without any worries?
Are seedboxes honeypots? Should I just seed from home instead despite much lower speeds?

>>1257577No one can seed the torrent if they can't download it first, retard.
>>1257719everyone knows that, nigger, im seeding it myself, i want someone else to seed it because im getting rid of it in a few weeks
I'm happy with my upload
>>1192429>Additionally, all of the people you are seeding for share your interests!Call me thick-headed but I needed this thread spelling it out a few months ago to finally switch to nonstop seeding mode. It's so straightforward but it makes sense. I seed niche game torrents and other weird CD collections knowing someone out there looking for them will be grateful
