Was recovering an old virtual machine onto a new box and was shocked to see 9,999, I presume thats an upper limit in the UI. Dune (2021) for those curious

Now wheres my crossbones flag?

I can’t get over 0.00 most of the time because no one’s leeching 😭

Idk how I’m even supposed to get a good ratio

I already have Sonarr/Radarr. Can I use Autobrr exclusively for downloading freeleech stuff?

Yes you can, it can either monitor RSS feeds exclusively, or also, for supported trackers, place a bot on their announce channel and instantly know when a new release is announced.

With that information it can do multiple things, feed it to *arrs which then decide if they want it, send it straight to your torrent client, with various filters, etc.

Sounds useful, might try it out thanks

Download a popular movie and keep your computer on for a while 🤷‍♂️

Although, seeding stuff that isn’t popular is also important. I don’t know what you’re seeding but if no one is leeching maybe there aren’t a whole lot of other people seeding either. When someone does leech, they might be very happy that you’re there keeping that one torrent alive.

I was suddenly nostalgic for MythBusters again, and in my acquisition I found a couple seasons that have pretty low seeders. Will gladly be a forever seeder even if one person a year leaches

Good trackers reward seeding old torrents

There’s a fanedit out there of the complete series Mythbusters with all of the flashbacks and filler removed. No more 5-minute long “before the break” segments.

Do you know the name of the fanedit? I’d like to check it out

I have a Raspberry Pi with the *arr stuff and Jellyfin that’s seeding 24/7. I tried looking for popular stuff on the private trackers I’m on but they always have so many seeders in comparison to leechers that I don’t know if it would actually help or worsen my ratio.

You don’t even have to download the whole thing. Anything downloaded will be shared with other downloaders.

But when they do leach you’ll be thanked.

Same, but it’s because I am not connectable (CG-NAT).

I would imagine, and namely the reason I raise the sails again, content thats being migrated across different subscriptions will become a real hot token item

I have one tracker I am twice as long active with versus another one and I almst catched up the uploaded data with less torrents active. Sometimes I wonder if I am just not the primary target for that tracker or I just don’t like the popular stuff.

I build ratio on private trackers by getting as much freeleech stuff as I can, even though I might not be into it. Timing is key also, I’ll snatch anything I think will blow up. If you get in early you can get lots of upload. This worked great to get my initial ratio built up on what.cd and redacted.

A private tracker I use actually bases their ratios off the time you seed something for rather than the amount you seed. I use a seedbox, which means people are able to leech from me pretty much 100% of the time. Most of the stuff I’ve seeded so far is freeleech. Those three factors combined have given me about +10.0 on my ratio over the course of maybe a week. (I just recently joined it.)

That’s pretty interesting. I wish more trackers did it like this.

I don’t sweat it. My connection is crap anyway. I’d rather somebody have a drive full of rare treasure that barely gets asked for than be one of a thousand seeding the latest Marvel rubbish.
