Torrents; Why leeches suck.
    #22425624 - 10/24/15 01:49 AM (8 years, 3 months ago)

The way torrents work, is that a network of computers (seeds) are collectively acting as a virtual server to push data to new downloaders (leeches/peers); Implying that if you don't seed the content you're downloading, you're shortening the lifespan of the torrent content. :shrug:

What ratio do you think you should seed after downloading desired material for free? Encoding isn't as easy as you think.

I go to around 300% especially when the files are a rarity... or more when I'm feeling good about the files..just to spread the loooove...

I don't have a fixed ratio I go to, it depends on how cool the file is and how much space I have on my drive as I'm regularly deleting/moving stuff off.

If I get a take down notice via my ISP I make sure to leave that particular file up as long as possible. :awesomenod:

with all the terabytes i've dl'd i've never gotten a takedown notice, or a virus.  i guess you get those both from demonoid or the bay.  i haven't had a problem with bad leechers either.  private sites have pretty good users.

Yeah, that's because public sites generally have the feds monitoring the peer-lists. Which is why you need a peer blocker to prevent your computer from responding to ping requests from users with malicious intent.

Well, essentially they're companies that are hired by the copyright holders to find people who are stealing their data and scare them into removing the content, or even fine/jail them, depending on the offense.

I remember they did that to a bunch of people to make examples of them and show they are serious, and... I don't think they ever did that again o.O

I could be wrong.

It's such a Mickey Mouse charge, anyway.

I mean, everyone does it :rolleyes:

They're trying to make it more strict by signing the TPP, TAP, and TTIP; International trade agreements to make copyright holders god-like. They're going to imprison everyone, because private prisons are a multi-billion dollar industry apparently.

Also peerblockers are pretty handy; Just got to remember to allow http on port 80.

there aren't enough jails to imprison everyone.

who are they kidding ???

as if they are going to extradite someone from indochina for downloading a torrent

they are probably just saving face to the lobbyists

i mean, they can't honestly think anyone will take that seriously

i hope

They can build the infrastructure just to fuck us up and also for maximum profits. Kinda scary...

The torrents that I seem to download (and I don't do this consciously) never have anyone downloading. Usually just a few seeders. If I'm done downloading the there are 0 of 0 peers then I'm going to stop the torrent. I'll resume seeding the next day if I notice people are trying to download it. I try to get my ratio to at least 1. Unless I download a NEW torrent, it usually doesn't work out that way.

If you stop the torrent your trackers aren't being refreshed, nor the DHT, and no-one is getting a signal that you're able to provide them with data that you have.

I didn't know this.

What would be the best way to seed while, at the same time, allowing my computer to sleep and rest? I don't want to run my computer all day and all night.

You can purchase server space on a seedbox, or buy a raspberry pi to host your torrent content from. Maybe buy two of them, so you can use one as a smart-tv.
