Guys maybe don't incriminate yourself with posting circumstancial evidence of yourself committing crimes on a massive scale. Big corpo is watching whis sub and can just pick it's juciest target from the comment section of this post.
Like yes you might be using a VPN but posting shit like this paints a target on your back screens can leed to wiretaps on your real IP which you probably also used to post these screenshots here. After that they can see which VPN you use. They can just ask your VPN even if they don't log anything "hey what current connections is this user using right now" and since you are probably seeding 24/7 there is a good chance they can link some of the uploaded torrents to the actual torrent file and now they have enough to get a warrant and cease your equipment with all them TBs of evidence.
Anyway just practice SOME opsec.
Lol unless they are posting about specific pirated torrents, then it's fine afaik. Upload ratio could be due to perfectly legitimate reasons such as linux images.
* In theory :p
Thank Linux images 
Thank you for your service.
9TB down, 86TB up, 10x ratio, 1k torrents
Looking good OP. Been a while since my last re-install, so I've had some time to pump the numbers up.

Good work soldier o7
I am surprised my download is higher, but I often download things that arent popular so it takes ages to get upload.
I gotta start somewhere Lmao.
I'm doing my part too!
824 TiB up, 34 TiB down, ratio of 24.08
o7 I salute you captain.
37 up, 7 down
We thank you comrade
Feels weird as hell how everyone is replying to your "I know its not much but I'm proud of it!!" post by showing how much more they've done than you
An encouragement to reach for more.
Seed until the disk is full! :D
I did that... And then I bought more disks
Private trackers only so the upload is a lot less impressive than other screenshots here 😅
Nice! My ratio is a little fake, like 30 TiB are from public trackers (for example, I mirrored a couple Anna's Archive torrents for a while).
Edit: Also the "active" torrents number is misleading because a bunch of torrents are force-started.
Public tracker activity is not fake at all, its just different from private trackers with the difference of expected ratios
Uhhh...Bro, you have an issue complaining about 32tib in upload.
May I ask what your main tracker is?
Well its over a long time haha. Atm I'm quite a fan of seedpool as they incentivice seeding based on the real cost to the user (size) very well
Ty :)
Been on a run catching up with some older band favorites so my ratio is down a bit lately but still trying to do my part
Thanks for your service 🫡

Too bad that ruTorrent doesnt show it.
But I can show you this (You can sort of calculate a bit of it from there. But I have many more seeds running):
Doing my part. Public trackers.
