I seed way beyond the requirements, I’m totally happy for other people not to. I have a swanky setup that suits it - might as well. If you don’t, don’t.
In my defense, if it were ever necessary, I’m planning on getting a setup where I have some sort of NAS + Pi thing that together forms a seedbox and Plex media server. Right now my desktop PC has both jobs. Poor thing has been running basically nonstop since 2020.
Same, I seed for 1 month or 4x ratio. I only have one private tracker (myanonamouse for books) that requires 1x ratio or 2 weeks seeding (maybe 2x ratio?) But I have unlimited internet. I’ve been the sole seeder for music files quite a few times, and for tv shows once or twice before they get picked up by others again. No downside to over seeding since I leave my PC on for hosting my Plex instance anyway, I just rate limit my seeding if I’m trying to watch something on Plex outside of my network and it’s buffering a lot. I get a lot of files from a usenet server anyway so I’m not bogged down by a ton of torrents (have it set to 50 active torrents, don’t think I’ve ever gotten there), just the stuff not available on my usenet server
I use CGPeers for some stuff, and they have a stated required ratio. However, most of their stuff is FreeLeech anyway, so it doesn’t really matter than I’m in the green by about 78GB
I seed until 1.0, but no more. Or as much required by the private tracker I’m a member of, or more if I seem to gain a lot of ratio. Am I bad?
