I’ve made it my mission to use as much data as possible since my ISP forced me to pay more when they implemented some arbitrary data cap. Gots keep seeding until I run out of space to store content!

Why delete the torrent? The point of torrenting is to use the file.

brb ,

Because deleting the torrent doesn't delete the file?

alehc ,

But if you are keeping the file anyways why not seed it?

MonkderZweite ,

What should i keep the iso i had to extract the setup files from around?

dessalines Mod ,
@dessalines@lemmy.ml avatar

To help others download the file. Its the point of torrenting, to share.

Why limit seeding unless you’re on a metered connection?

Because I have limited space.

dessalines Mod ,
@dessalines@lemmy.ml avatar

Seeding doesn't take up more space, unless you were planning to delete the thing, which doesn't make much sense.

Why not? You keep every film every episode every-thing you consume?

Of course, why not? Hard drive space is cheap.

Meanwhile me who just never deletes anything:

Nice iso collection

Jenoki OP ,

Thanks for your service.

Thank you for your service.

Some people including OP are completely missing the point of torrenting, which is to share, not leech. If everyone removed their torrents like the OP, everything would quickly become unavailable and die.

IMO a better strategy is to just limit your global upload speed. Then at least you're still making everything healthy and available, even if its distributed slowly.

Honytawk ,

If everyone torrented like OP, then no torrent would ever become unavailable and die.

Since they keep seeding until 2 users have the torrent.

IronTwo ,

Noobie question: Is keeping my PC running to seed torrents taxing on the HDD or would it shorten its lifespan?

dessalines Mod ,
@dessalines@lemmy.ml avatar

It'll probably tax your HD a bit more, sure.

emhl , in This is the way

if you snatch a popular torrent that is fine but with dying torrents that is quite harmful

Dumb question, why?

littlebluespark ,
@littlebluespark@lemmy.world avatar

Because 200% should be your minimum, not your max. 🤌🏼

If there's no one left to seed, the torrent dies. Seeding back 200% ensures the torrent stays healthy.

ZeroEcks ,

Sometimes you need to seed back more than 200% because the other two people might not be able to seed it back. I would generally not set a limit

Rustmilian ,
@Rustmilian@lemmy.world avatar

True, but as a minimum you should be doing 200%.
Also in a ideal scenario that 200% would be spread out to a lot more people then just 2.

littlebluespark ,
@littlebluespark@lemmy.world avatar

OP is showing 200% as their maximum. That's the whole point of this thread. 🤌🏼

No shit Sherlock 🫴

I'm not the one reiterating the salient point of a very short thread. Might do well to read that to yourself instead, friendo. 🤗

Rustmilian ,
@Rustmilian@lemmy.world avatar

I have no time for children.

NateSwift ,

It will lead to the torrent dying if everyone stops seeding

blindsight ,

If there are less than 5 seeds, then I keep sending indefinitely. Above that, I'll consider deleting it to free up space once I'm done with the media.

Unless it's getting a private tracker, in which case I'll just seed everything forever to get the sweet bonus points.

Steve ,

Agree. I dont delete anything unless the quality is shit

Jenoki OP ,

I'm considering getting a seedbox because with my current storage setup, and my unwillingness to keep the vpn up all the time 2.0 is the best I can do.

Osa-Eris-Xero512 ,

This was annoying me too, and I solved it by spinning out a VM that exists just to run qbittorrent and the vpn connection.
