I thought I was doing well with 8 down and 20 up! In my defence - a lot of the stuff I'm seeding is old (10+ years) and I'm the only seed.

Godspeed, anon.

I consistently rely on people in situations like yours, so thank you

It's not how you build a ratio, but helps so much more than seeding the latest Marvel thing. Thank you.

My current client has only been running for a little more than two months...but it's something at least 🤷‍♂️

You get a silver medal when you hit a 1.0 ratio, and a gold medal when you hit 2.0

So, OP has 45.57 gold medals only for his first torrent on the list?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I was looking at the all-time ratio, not any individual torrent, but yeah OP can collect their two golds and a silver whenever they want

I would like to simultaneously better organize, rename and move my ISO files while still being able to seed them. How do people do both? my download folder is not where I want to keep my iso files for consumption and the often cryptic names of iso files can be annoying to navigate and manage so how can this be improved without sacrificing seeding? thanks!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

I use hard linking to manage my library. It's far from ideal, because the actual files are still stored in the jumbled shit show of files that is my downloads folder. But at least it let's me browse an ordered library of file names.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Other than linking in the filesystem as Grippler said (took me a while to understand soft and hard links on linux but they're soo useful); you can create categories with a default location (e.g. /qbt/-TV, /qbt/-Films), so you only need to pick a category when adding a torrent, and "Automatic Management mode" should save it to the right folder automagically. Also if you don't like the names you can rename both items in the torrent list and/or their corresponding foldernames and filenames, I do all this from qbittorrent (probably doable with other software as well).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Oh another tip, I have set it to always create subdirectories even if it's single files in the torrent. Makes it easier to browse the main folder alphabetically later!
