My internet is 1.5MBytes per second download… And 200kbytes upload, there was a torrent that i was able to save from dying, i remember the poor mf that downloaded for a whole week; to download 16GB since then he’s been seeding that file; the sheer tenacity that man had.
That poor MF have been me a couple of times. I hate being interested in niche content sometimes… On the positive side, I have a strict no-delete policy on any public torrent with less than 5 in ratio or private torrents, so I carry forward the gesture so the previous seeder can take a break.
Yeah, have done that a few times. Used to have a 20MBit/5MBit cable internet, it was hell to be honest. Still I’ve managed to seed well over 500 or 600GB a month on that thing (I never turned the PC off 😂). Now I got 50/50. I used to seed about 3 or 4TB a month, but I can’t have my PC on like that any more, the electric bill was too high 😔.
Not only that, I have reconstructed dead torrents from files I’ve downloaded elsewhere (file sharing sites). If the files and filenames are the same, the hash will match, thus the client will start to seed it 😉.
