I’ll admit, when I first started torrent I was not really familiar with how it worked and how important seeding was. I would just use magnet links without configuration to save the torrent and seed after completion. Well… I have finally, got myself back to 1.00 after a couple months and working to try to always seed double what I get for each torrent.

Often times I was one of the few random seeders available for some of these torrents. Friendly reminder to give back because you never know when you’re one of the rare cases that can complete someones long lost file download!

    My seed ratio is 1.2. I’d seed more, but I download a lot of different things and my home server is limited on space at the moment.

      I get a gig down but only 50mbps up (fucking spectrum), so I gotta limit seeding the same way or I’d just crush my upload speed all the time.

        Spectrum is the shittiest company known to man. Double and triple billing, they bill a month ahead so your paying for service you haven’t yet used, horrible speed my as well be false advertising, customer support is terrible. They fraud charged and upsold services to get discounts which was a lock you in contract scam price. All time worst companies ever.
