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 you’ve won, great work!
I’m lucky to be in a position to do that, a few years ago I would’ve dreamt of reaching what most shared here
All Linux iso’s, right?
There are at least 3 Linux isos in those 700 torrents.
FBI, open up!
Jk. Thank you for your service
Got served with strongly worded letters, forced me to use Wireguard on a private server, then ProtonVPN.
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!
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.
I’ve got like half a gig down and 20 ish mbps up. I also limit it to less because family and stuff.
Spectrum? I’m moving from symmetric to this shit soon.
I had Spectrum at my previous apartment. 300 Mbps down, 10 up 😭 thank god there’s a local fiber ISP here
Mines about the same with Comcast. 1Gbps down but only around 20Mbps upload.
Thanks for making up for my shortcomings <3
Sharing is caring <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
What I find got me a very high ratio were some high volume torrents (e.g. >500gb) that only few were considering seeding 24/7.
So far those netted me the most ratio of anything I have done.
Are you sure you are using port forwarding and have symmetric connection?
I believe I’m doing port forwarding correctly. I’m using a router with DumaOS installed so I’ve considered that that may be the problem. I haven’t heard symmetric connection mentioned before. I will do some googling. Thank you
