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.
This is great advice. It's easy to get disheartened with a spinning torrent, but heroes like you can turn that around.
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.
I think I just busted a nut
Dang
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!
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.
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.
Welcome aboard!
Arrr!

I have so many files that have been stalled at >95% for months.
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.
Good point. There are some where it's just a few miscellaneous files missing.
Arr!
Damn. You have my respect.
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
just checked mine i didn't think i was that high but i generally just leave it running all day
Nice. I just got above 2 for my ratio. I don't have symmetric internet, but I have my torrents set up to never stop, and I don't delete.
God I wish I had symmetrical upload. Gigabit down and like, 125mbps up.
Not so much for this but I self host stuff like my photos and I notice it's slower when scrolling my photos outside the house. And using my personal VPN, makes my download limited to my upload speed.
Sharing is caring <3
Thanks for making up for my shortcomings <3
the beauty of decentralization, aint shit corpos can do about it lol
get fucked, parasites. should have never fragmented streaming services into cable style bullshit.
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

I can never get decent upload speeds. I seed everything I can but the most I've ever seen is 100 kbps. Average is probably more like 10 and very few upload at all. Haven't been able to find the reason.
This is me too. I've got about 5TB of material being seeded 24/7 from my media seever, but I rarely see more than single-digit GB total upload volume per day. The majority of the time, except for the occasional blip, I rarely see total upload rate get over a few hundred kB/s despite having the cap at 24MB/s.
I'd have to stop torrenting completely and only seed for a year to get my ratio past 2.0 lol
I would absolutely be a seeder if my router didn't reset itself in the middle of the night. That, and I'd be worried about getting caught by my ISP, even with my VPN.
Regardless, these people are the real heroes.
Add airflow to your router, common issue for overheating routers. May need to move it out into open, out of a closet or whatever.
If your ISP hasnt sent you a letter yet then try something much more tracked like GoT and if you dont get one after a week then you should be fine.
Shame upon myself. 50tb this year DL, 0 UL. But hey, it's usenet, so that's perfectly fibe 😁
