For me it's YIFY versions of older movies
Geez. I seed until I upload twice what I downloaded. Am I a stingy bastard?

Worst pirate ever, but also the best kind of person!
I see a lot of older Linux distros in this thread, why do that many people download them?
A lot of legacy stuff that's really expensive and time consuming to upgrade. If it ain't broken (and protected from the internet), don't fix it.
Just checked, it's a Ubuntu ISO
1904.21
It is lovely to see so many people training their AIs
are you seeding AI datasets?
Pirating to train AIs is legal^†^.
^†^ in some jurisdictions only; you may need to be a rich corporation for that to apply.
What torrent client is in the screenshot?
Tixati.
I use it mostly because it has a lot more options and flexibility, and also just because i'm already using it and it's a pain in the ass to switch

I tend to stop torrents when they hit 1000, I feel like that's a "good enough" contribution on public stuff, except when I notice less than 100 seeders, then I tend to keep it going.
Top 58 I guess. Especially proud of the 800+ ratio on a 78 GB one (78*800≈61TB).
I think I once had 20 seed ratio on the tv series Psych. Haven't seeded since my vpn got all wonky on me, I'll start again for sure.
I have one or two YIFY movies that I haven't been able to find on multiple private trackers (that usually cover all my needs) and the seed ratio is over 1,000 (since early 2021).
Public torrents of course get a lot of action (even relatively niche content).
"Trainwreck - Poop Cruise" is my current #1 ratio.
I usually delete after watching so this is just among recent downloads.
