For my automated content I go by a factor of 4. Things that I download manually usually also gets ratio 4 but things that are hard to come by or that I really like get unlimited ratio.
I seed as much as I can but I still have a 0.75 ratio sadly. I tend to dl random old shit nobody wants so i’m just helping the other weirdos like me. I plan on switchi g to linux and I’d like to set up my computer to be as secure as possible and then maybe upload stuff also.
And like in the old times I bring my hdd with me and share with friends when we meet in person !
I torrent using my phone 99% of the time, so I try to get to a 2:1 if possible, but large files like tv shows that have upwars of 200 gb take up too much space, and I can’t have multiple seasons downloaded at the same time, so I usually get them up to 1:1 and then download the next episodes
I don’t use torrents all that much to be quite honest - I just download and forget about it with my qbittorrent running in the background pretty much 16 hours a day while I’m awake.
Think the highest seed ratio I accumulated doing this was 500 ratio on a 50gb file.

I usually keep the last 1TB of my torrent downloads around for seeding.
Also part of a DDL group which I gave a few donations to.
I have deluge / sonarr / radarr set to seed to 2:1

This is me, except a ratio of 2. Hard to find things or if it’s taking a long time to download, I let it seed indefinitely
i usually seed until it reaches seed factor 5. i am planning to set up my NAS to seed indefinetely with a limited bandwidth.
I always try to seed whenever I can, since I only have mobile connection

Are ye a pirate or are ye Robin Hood?
i am a thief like we all are, no need for euphemism.
but i’d rather be robin hood than stoertebeker.
where do you think your files come from?
i just think if everybody once in a while would just buy and upload one file there would be a lot of new or unusual stuff.
I dont upload but i do seed, im not gonna lie my ratio is below 1
On private trackers I seed until I delete the files(if I need space or the movie/tv-show is really bad)
On public trackers I don’t take too much risks and only seed one day or ratio up to 1.
And it’s setup on Radarr / Sonarr / Transmission, so I don’t have to do much anymore
Anyone recommend a seed box?

FBI OPEN UP
Absolutely. I used to rip movies myself for my favorite private tracker. It shut down a while ago though, so now I’m just back to regular seeding.
Private trackers I seed until Im running out of storage, public ones up to 1.2 ratio.
I used to upload some content, but dont have anything thats not already available anymore.
I did some donations to our fellow pirates tho
I don’t have a lot of stuff that’s not already uploaded. Niche books mostly. I offer x3 the upload on public torrents and indefinite on privates.
