One time I found a KDrama that changed my life (Crash Landing on You), and to thank the producers, I set up a dedicated seedbox for years that did nothing but seed their show :). I think I hit like 7TB uploaded before shutting it off
My most uploaded file is a copy of Shrek 2 with Latin American Spanish dub, it took me over a month to download. I swear to God the only one seeding it was someone who would just open their client, download whatever they were looking for, then shut it off. It’s the only copy of that dub I could find in decent quality. Now I’m at ~50 ratio for that file.
If you can only find 0 seed torrents just chuck it in your client anyway, I’ve had several actually complete.
I’ve once had to bring up my ratio on a (now defunct) private torrent site in orde to download new torrents. I was looking for high leech low seed torrents, and I am ashamed to say I’ve seeded over 500 GB of granny porn (like 20gb original size). Brought up my ratio, tho.
My upload ratio looks like ass because I edit videos for a thing with friends, and we use torrent to send the raw footage between computers. So I have like a 0.2 ratio because I’m downloading 5 gigs and then we kill the torrent.
I’m surprised none of the tech companies have a service that lets you share any size file from your own PC, and then slurp at it for their AI on the way through…
Have you checked what is missing, sometimes people only pick the wanted files from a torrent, so maybe those 5% are just bloat nobody cared to seed as well.

This is great advice. It’s easy to get disheartened with a spinning torrent, but heroes like you can turn that around.

I, too, am a seeder.
For how long are you doing this and what’s your upload speed?
I started using qbit about a year ago after using deluge. I have gb down and 100mb up.
Unironically, a lot of that ratio is from Linux isos and other open source software distribution. Take the load off their servers!
Arr!
just checked mine i didn’t think i was that high but i generally just leave it running all day

Interesting use case
It’s strange that people know how to create and share torrents but not open a port or install an FTP server.
My friends aren’t tech nerds, they dont want to do that stuff unfortunately. Qbittorent is simple enough for them to adopt without complaint.

…syncthing?
I have so many files that have been stalled at >95% for months.

Good point. There are some where it’s just a few miscellaneous files missing.
