You're suggesting OP stop seeding because those seeders will be able to download faster, but we literally see just a snapshot.

I suggested that OP check their settings.

Are you saying I shouldn't seed because that way an American or European will be able to download faster?

Again, that’s not what I am saying at all. Stop putting words in my mouth.

I can't believe such a toxic and inaccurate comment has this many upvotes.

If you’re looking for a toxic comment, look at your own where you are wilfully misrepresenting my argument, make wild assumptions and then attack those. That's textbook definition of toxic behavior.

At 16kb/s per connection , I think you have to ask yourself if you’re really helping. Have you checked your settings that you aren’t limiting your upload speeds?

Edit: people seem to be offended by this comment, so let me clarify by what I meant with “are you really helping”.

Torrent clients default to a fixed number of peers they download from. If you end up with only 16kb/s connections, you are being limited by those seeders in how fast you can download.

Whereas if there were less seeders but they could provide 1mb/s connections, you are limited by your own internet connection and are downloading full blast.

I hope that clarifies my statement.

Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.

YouTube violates MY terms of service when it abuses my network infrastructure and resources to download data I did not request.

Dear vegan absolutists, you are letting perfect be the enemy of good.

People eating less meat? Awesome. Don’t chastise them for not eating no meat.

I learned to program in gw basic when I was 12. Also spent hours typing in listings from magazines. Fun times.

Moved on to turbo pascal after a few years and got into assembly from there. Didn’t get to c++ until college.

If you think that’s bad, some old arcade cabinets had suicide batteries. Their only purpose was to keep a sram chip alive that held a decryption key. Battery dies? No more game for you.

That old toaster was pretty cool though.

Looks to be technological advancement due to earthquake resistance, an abundance of supply and low property taxes.

That’s due to space restrictions. Japan has a lot less space than the US does, especially if you want to live in a large city. That’s not the case in the US. The point is, it’s not the size of the housing that makes their real estate depreciating assets.

Housing should not be an investment. In Japan they aren’t. In fact, they’re depreciating assets and they’re doing just fine.
