One small old book that used to be hard to find in good quality. I've it seeding for years, and being so small and in risk of being lost I've never taken it down.

Same lol, this is MIDV-120, Found this at 1 seed with 100 KiB/s upload speed, I think it's safe to say I single handedly revived this torrent.

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?

[–] daq@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 12 hours ago

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.

Geez. I seed until I upload twice what I downloaded. Am I a stingy bastard?

Just checked, it's a Ubuntu ISO

1904.21

Picture of qBitTorrent app showing the torrents sorted by ratio, with Ubuntu live server iso in first place with 1904 ratio

It is lovely to see so many people training their AIs

are you seeding AI datasets?

[–] Paula_Tejando@lemmy.eco.br 12 points 10 hours ago

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?

[–] 0range@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 18 hours ago

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).

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

"Trainwreck - Poop Cruise" is my current #1 ratio.

I usually delete after watching so this is just among recent downloads.
