Was recovering an old virtual machine onto a new box and was shocked to see 9,999, I presume thats an upper limit in the UI. Dune (2021) for those curious

Now wheres my crossbones flag?

I can't get over 0.00 most of the time because no one's leeching 😭

Idk how I'm even supposed to get a good ratio

Download a popular movie and keep your computer on for a while 🤷‍♂️

Although, seeding stuff that isn't popular is also important. I don't know what you're seeding but if no one is leeching maybe there aren't a whole lot of other people seeding either. When someone does leech, they might be very happy that you're there keeping that one torrent alive.

I was suddenly nostalgic for MythBusters again, and in my acquisition I found a couple seasons that have pretty low seeders. Will gladly be a forever seeder even if one person a year leaches

There's a fanedit out there of the complete series Mythbusters with all of the flashbacks and filler removed. No more 5-minute long "before the break" segments.

Good trackers reward seeding old torrents

I have a Raspberry Pi with the *arr stuff and Jellyfin that's seeding 24/7. I tried looking for popular stuff on the private trackers I'm on but they always have so many seeders in comparison to leechers that I don't know if it would actually help or worsen my ratio.

You don't even have to download the whole thing. Anything downloaded will be shared with other downloaders.

I would imagine, and namely the reason I raise the sails again, content thats being migrated across different subscriptions will become a real hot token item

Autobrr set to download freeleech

I already have Sonarr/Radarr. Can I use Autobrr exclusively for downloading freeleech stuff?

Yes you can, it can either monitor RSS feeds exclusively, or also, for supported trackers, place a bot on their announce channel and instantly know when a new release is announced.

With that information it can do multiple things, feed it to *arrs which then decide if they want it, send it straight to your torrent client, with various filters, etc.

I build ratio on private trackers by getting as much freeleech stuff as I can, even though I might not be into it. Timing is key also, I’ll snatch anything I think will blow up. If you get in early you can get lots of upload. This worked great to get my initial ratio built up on what.cd and redacted.

I have one tracker I am twice as long active with versus another one and I almst catched up the uploaded data with less torrents active. Sometimes I wonder if I am just not the primary target for that tracker or I just don't like the popular stuff.
