When you use p2p services, how much do you seed? Even when I was limited to 60GB a month, I tried to keep 1:1 ratio in torrent and share.

>> No.6448425

Depends on the torrent / tracker.

>> No.6448435

i stop the torrent as it finish downloading

u mad seedfags?

i still have about 0.8 ratio though

>do you seed?

>> No.6448469

I usually seed 2.0-4.0 depending if I have too many running and need to clear some out

>> No.6448475 [DELETED] 

I limit my upload to 1KB/s, current ratio is still somehow 0.154/1.

I don't understand why people still use torrents, I can find 99% of what I want with file hosting sites.

>> No.6448484

never seed becuase i back up all the porn i have on an encrypted external drive

>> No.6448491

My connection caps at 40kbps upload, so it's pointless to seed.

You are the cancer killing p2p sharing. Selfish pricks.

People don't want to wait a million years downloading bigass files in parts.

Regardless, why use both when you can use IRC for shit?

>> No.6448501

Seed to 2.0
but usually these days DDL turns up as fast as the torrent. I also still have a Usenet account which is fucking fantastic.

>> No.6448511

I don't even have 800gb of space, and I don't think I have seeded more than 1 tb over half a decade;_;

>> No.6448522

I dont cap my seeding, but my ratio ony bakabt usually stays aroudn 2.5

>> No.6448528

Some people just have shitty ISP monopolies, seeding ain't gonna happen from them.

I generally try to keep a 1:1 or better ratio, but that wouldn't be even remotely possible if I actually downloaded much.

This for me. If I don't limit my upload, it's still very rare for any of my seeds to go over 1kbps.

>> No.6448563

The fastest I've ever managed to upload was around 12kpbs, so I haven't bothered. I promised myself I'd seed properly whenever I'll get a better ISP, but I'm probably too used to not doing it to bother. I guess that makes me some kind of faggot. Oh well, if I wanted to feel self righteous about contributing I'd translate a VN or something.

Slight derailing:
Is it possible to get attacked by peers you seed to, or leech from for that matter? I've gotten some warnings in the past, but wasn't sure whether they were fake or not..

>> No.6448620

>>6448607
Attacked?
No.

>> No.6449407

Massive source torrents I don't care about ratio, but for those with just 2 seeds or so, I try and keep them available for other poor people to get their torrents finished.

Usually it all depends on when I need to move the files from my downloads to my storage spaces though.

>> No.6449421

I share a 150 kbps speed with 4 people. You bet your ass I don't seed. If I download a game it will take a week just to seed it up to 1:1

>> No.6449427

>>6448607
I wish I had that /g/ image on hand for times like this.

You can't get directly attacked through the P2P software, the most your peers can do is find your IP. This means you can either get in legal shit if it's the RIAA/MPAA/similar faggots, or get your anus haxed by AoRF. Both are equally unlikely to happen.

They will try to connect to you. Just make sure you don't have any exploitable services running.

>> No.6449434

2.0 unless I really enjoyed it then I'll keep it around until I need to make some room

This. If the torrent has hundreds or thousands of seeds I don't really give a shit but if there are only a few I seed for a while.

I have a really low upstream speed, so I only seed torrents with very few seeds.

Why the fuck would you care?
