What is your ratio? 😅

That's a lot of Linux ISOs

I did Linux ISOs for a while, but the only ones getting my ratio up where kali and parrot. That scared me a little so i stopped (only seeded distros and didn't use a vpn).
- I'm guessing the most common distros have regular people seeding a lot just on their PC in the background. Like me. Get your EndeavourOS while it's hot people!

If on all trackers that hard to calculate.

First tracker: Upload 558.385 TB download ??? Ratio ???

Second tracker: Upload 11 TB download 12 GB ratio 979

I don't know how calculate anonymous trackers.

On current client:

Upload 46 TB, download: 2,5 TB, ratio 19, uptime 7 days

This man seeds...

I think you're the winner here mate lol, my stats are puny in comparison

Nice ratio!

Up: 104.86 TiB

Down: 5.72 TiB

Ratio: 18.33

For one tracker anyway...

Upload: 94.80 TB Downloaded: 37.18 TB Snatched: 27158 Average Time Seeded: 1,621 Hours Total Time Seeded: 360,273 Days Total Traffic: 131.98 TB

Does the total time seeded mean how much combined time you've spent connecting to other people and uploading to them? Because that works out to about 1,000 years.

I'm probably 90% Usenet nowadays and the rest is mostly public torrents but my monthly data usage is about 4TB down and a hair under 1TB up on average.

I need to buy more HDDs.

what indexers are you in?
- Currently just NZBGeek and NZBPlanet, I also get a fair bit of content from animetosho's free usenet index.
  
  That NZBPlanet one is an API key I happened across on an unsecured sonarr instance I found in a random google search ages ago, sonarr and radarr used to put all of your details in obfuscated plaintext so you could just right click the obfuscated passwords and api keys and see what they were in the search google for "2f34fw" entry, that was fixed in more modern versions. Secure your shit guys. Pirates will pirate your piracy sources. if they update their keys I'll lose it, but they seem really good so i'll just pay for it if that happens.

I'm on Usenet, so I don't worry about that sort of stuff.

23.79 TB uploaded 2.32 TB Downloaded 10.273 ratio

From my primary seedbox. This is probably my best ratio and upload total but I’m more proud of maintaining a decent ratio on higher downloads with more competitive trackers :)

I'm a regular 1:1 overall casual user. I've both seeded generously and leeched precariously over the years, but i can safely say i've given as much as i took.

my ratio is sitting at 0.47 and is unlikely to budge with rural Australian internet speeds if I download anything ever.

of course this is a fresh install and I've never paid any attention to seeding before

I have the same issue, having only 20mbit up sucks ass if you try to keep a good ratio

I'm not super familiar with torrent seeding, but from a layman's perspective I'm really curious–how do you use so much data? My internet provider yells at me if I go over a 1.5 terabytes, I can't imagine streaming normally for example while also uploading, or is this over a very long period of time like decades?

Sorry if this is a silly question

Telia internet, Lithuania. 19,90€ per month, unlimited.

940mbps down & 580mbps up. Unlimited internet, fiber. Telia is known as trusted company that does not care about torrents and most importantly - never throttles or provides lower speeds. This ISP delivers what is promised. <3

Also it's Jellyfin&friends (radarr/sonarr stuff), so it's all automated. Nearly 40TB of storage in raid5 and automatically downloads movies and some tv shows. And in 4k:) sometimes 100gb per movie.
Unlimited Internet is a thing now, I pay $50 a month for 5G home Internet. I'm guessing you have one of those dinosaur fiber internet where a technician has to come to your house to install internet.
- Unlimited Internet is a thing now
  
  In most parts of the world, home Internet has never been limited tbh. This is mostly a North American thing.
  
  I’m guessing you have one of those dinosaur fiber internet where a technician has to come to your house to install internet
  
  But fiber is much less likely to be limited than 4G or 5G? It's also not affected by weather, so you don't get random drops.
  
  There are definitely bad ISPs out there providing capped fiber, but fiber itself is significantly superior to 5G if you want a stable and fast connection.
- I have what is available in my neighborhood, I do believe it's "dinosaur fiber optic" lines. And I haven't heard of a 5g connection without data caps where I live either (USA). At least not at any price point I can afford, certainly not 50$!
  
  I have heard most other countries get way better internet than USA, though. But where I live it's Xfinity, century link, satellite Internet, or through a cell phone plan and they're all capped and leave some to be desired speed wise. I don't even live in the sticks or anything!
I pay Comcast an extra $30 a month for unlimited data. I use about 4-5TB a month with torrenting and Plex users watching stuff remotely.
Just get a seedbox. No reason to use your own bandwidth or have torrent traffic on your own ISP. I just use bytehost and it’s also hosting my plex server. I’ve also used seedhost.eu for a long time without issue but that’s seedbox only (no extra apps like plex or sonar etc)
- I have never heard of a seed box!! I gotta admit, the concept is confusing to me off the bat, I'm going to have to research a bit. I don't really understand how it's not my ISP even though I'm using it for Internet, how strange. It seems very in depth and kindaaaaa scary, I'm not super technical but willing to learn! Thanks for mentioning

What's a seedbox ? How can I setup one?

Seedboxes are typically a remotely hosted server in a strategically located datacentre, configured to provide users with a way to download and seed torrents more efficiently than at home.

You can rent a seedbox from a bunch of companies (monthly cost, less effort), or you can even set one up at home (one-off cost, more effort).

Here's a list of seedbox companies to check out:

Bytesized Hosting €14.00 / Month

Dediseedbox $10.00 / Month

EvoSeedbox $5.00 / Month

Feral Hosting £10.00 / Month

Giga-Rapid €0.99 / Month

HostingByDesign €6.59 / Month

RapidSeedboxes €8.00 / Month

SonicBit $2.15 / Month

The Seedbox €10.76 / Month

Seedhost €6.00 / Month

Seedit4.me €11.99 / Month

Seedmonster $9.99 / Month

Swizzin $15.95 / Month

Ultra.cc €4.95 / Month

WhatBox $15.00 / Month

Xirvik $12.95 / Month
- A bit more "home user friendly" explanation:
  
  Basically your home PC where you download "Linux ISOs". But because you don't like picking everything (movies/tv shows/etc, but not pc games) manually - you want to automate it.
  
  "Automate" is called Jellyfin/Plex and underlaying microservices, such as Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr, QBittorrent, Bazarr and so on. You want this to be available 24/7 so it automatically adds content (movies/shows) to your "wishlist", downloads when it becomes available and automatically appears in your Jellyfin/Plex server.
  
  This is why you usually dedicate a server for this, which runs 24/7, usually at home. And I guess you call it "seedbox".
  
  Some other users set up VPN on their server, configure qbittorrent to use ONLY vpn connection (to avoid getting emails from their ISPs for pirated Linux ISOs lol) and call it "seedbox". They first torrent anything to seedbox, then they download from it to their PC. In my case it's not needed, since everything is automated and I access all my "Linux ISOs" from Jellyfin.

guys are not downloading enough 😅

Usenet guy here so no real ratio, my downloads for this month so far are:

The total is since end of Feb iirc.

What is your seedsize?

What is "seedsize"? 🤔
- The size of your seed, obviously

That's starting from about May 1 on one device. There have been and are others, of course. My provider no longer offers port forwarding and that really curtailed the upload part, but I tried to maximize that while I could.

While I do miss what cd dearly, I haven't been on a private tracker since. I prefer freeing the bits as much as possible for all people, so that means public torrents and trackers.

U: 1.94 TB D: 409 GB R: 4.857

Small fry compared to you, but that's just personal stuff.

upload 1.3TiB download 238GiB ratio 5.6 did a fresh windows install 2 weeks ago also where does qbittorrent store the statistics

Download using my phone then move stuff to a hard drive so don't know for sure

Looking at my stats on a tracker, I'm almost at the peta uploaded with ~200 TiB down, so I guess a 5:1 ratio. I had no idea but now I'm going to look and screenshot this milestone once I hit the PiB!

U: 4.3 TB D: 1 TB Here. (4.3 ratio)

I use IRC and other DDL methods so, 0.0 ratio?

Are these decimal points or thousands demarkations?

I doubt you're being serious but I was curious and did the math. transferring 88000 TB over a 1Gbps connection would take 8148 days or over 22 years straight
- Yeah, no worries, it was a joke ;)
  
  But yeah, exponential increases scale like crazy.

User statistics All-time upload: 1.779 TiB All-time download: 1.244 TiB All-time share ratio: 1.42

My main tracker has me at a 1.5. I'm really proud of that because I hardly download freelech and seeding is required so it's damn hard to get a decent upload.

dude is seedlord

9.1 TB up 1.8 TB down

5.2 ratio over 900 days.

Not dethroning op for a while yet.
