That's a lot of Linux ISOs
I did Linux ISOs for a while, but the only ones getting my ratio up where kali and parrot. That scared me a little so i stopped (only seeded distros and didn't use a vpn).

This man seeds...
If on all trackers that hard to calculate.
First tracker: Upload 558.385 TB download ??? Ratio ???
Second tracker: Upload 11 TB download 12 GB ratio 979
I don't know how calculate anonymous trackers.

From my primary seedbox. This is probably my best ratio and upload total but Iβm more proud of maintaining a decent ratio on higher downloads with more competitive trackers :)
What is your seedsize?
What is "seedsize"? π€
The size of your seed, obviously
Gross dude!
upload 1.3TiB download 238GiB ratio 5.6 did a fresh windows install 2 weeks ago also where does qbittorrent store the statistics
my ratio is sitting at 0.47 and is unlikely to budge with rural Australian internet speeds if I download anything ever.
of course this is a fresh install and I've never paid any attention to seeding before
U: 1.94 TB D: 409 GB R: 4.857
Small fry compared to you, but that's just personal stuff.
Usenet guy here so no real ratio, my downloads for this month so far are:
The total is since end of Feb iirc.
9.1 TB up 1.8 TB down
5.2 ratio over 900 days.
Not dethroning op for a while yet.
I'm not super familiar with torrent seeding, but from a layman's perspective I'm really curiousβhow do you use so much data? My internet provider yells at me if I go over a 1.5 terabytes, I can't imagine streaming normally for example while also uploading, or is this over a very long period of time like decades?
Sorry if this is a silly question
I pay Comcast an extra $30 a month for unlimited data. I use about 4-5TB a month with torrenting and Plex users watching stuff remotely.
Unlimited Internet is a thing now, I pay $50 a month for 5G home Internet. I'm guessing you have one of those dinosaur fiber internet where a technician has to come to your house to install internet.
Unlimited Internet is a thing now
In most parts of the world, home Internet has never been limited tbh. This is mostly a North American thing.
Iβm guessing you have one of those dinosaur fiber internet where a technician has to come to your house to install internet
But fiber is much less likely to be limited than 4G or 5G? It's also not affected by weather, so you don't get random drops.
There are definitely bad ISPs out there providing capped fiber, but fiber itself is significantly superior to 5G if you want a stable and fast connection.
I used to have several outages per year with fiber internet. In the year and a half I've had 5G home Internet not a single outage. But you are able to get much higher speeds with fiber, so if you had some kind of business that needed like 10 gig speeds, fibers the best choice for that. But for home Internet 5G is much more superior in reliability, and fairness in pricing for the consumer.
Is 5G really that much more reliable than 4G? Because on 4G I often get spikes (of lengths between 2 seconds and several days) of low speeds, dropped packages, high latency, etc. Whereas I've never had an outage on fiber, nor has anyone else I know. Fiber is also not affected much by other peoples' usage.
I think fiber being shit is very much a regional thing, and mostly Northern American. It's the lack of competition. A good fiber service will outperform a good wireless service any day of the week. And it can be done on the cheap too, if there's competition. Romanians get gigabit fiber for like 8 euros a month and 300 mbps is the minimum speed offered I believe. The key is that you can't let a single ISP own the entire network in an area. Should be government-owned ideally.
5G is super fast, and wow you Romanians are lucky. But here in America ISPs are grinches who charge you 49.99 for the first year and then increase your price to $80, which is a whole 60% mark-up. So before 5G home Internet was a thing, you only had one provider in the area you lived, and this lack of competition basically allowed them to price gouge us over the years till our bill got to $220 for 100mb. 5G was truly a life saver for my families budget. And you are right about cable Internet being more performant, but 5G did introduce some very much needed competition in the telecommunications space.
I'm not Romanian actually, it was an example of what fiber can be when your government doesn't let monopolies happen.
I'm glad 5G works for you. Here in Estonia it's a lot more expensive than fiber and fiber itself is significantly overpriced (100 mbps being like 27 eur a month, unlimited cellular data more like 50 and that comes with no guarantees of speed or even availability).
Telia internet, Lithuania. 19,90β¬ per month, unlimited.
940mbps down & 580mbps up. Unlimited internet, fiber. Telia is known as trusted company that does not care about torrents and most importantly - never throttles or provides lower speeds. This ISP delivers what is promised. <3
Also it's Jellyfin&friends (radarr/sonarr stuff), so it's all automated. Nearly 40TB of storage in raid5 and automatically downloads movies and some tv shows. And in 4k:) sometimes 100gb per movie.
Just get a seedbox. No reason to use your own bandwidth or have torrent traffic on your own ISP. I just use bytehost and itβs also hosting my plex server. Iβve also used seedhost.eu for a long time without issue but thatβs seedbox only (no extra apps like plex or sonar etc)
I have never heard of a seed box!! I gotta admit, the concept is confusing to me off the bat, I'm going to have to research a bit. I don't really understand how it's not my ISP even though I'm using it for Internet, how strange. It seems very in depth and kindaaaaa scary, I'm not super technical but willing to learn! Thanks for mentioning
Itβs just a remote server you rent that has either a web interface for a torrent client and/or the ability to shell into your instance and use a terminal based solution. You tell the remote server to handle the torrent. It downloads it to the server and also seeds for you. Then if you need the file on your home machine, you can grab it via ftp sftp https wget whatever way you want. To your ISP itβs not torrent traffic and even better, you can vpn to tunnel or use baked in means to make this transaction encrypted. In short, you can seed forever without impacting your own internet and you can keep your actions relatively secure and private as compared to opening a home machine up and letting loose.

My main tracker has me at a 1.5. I'm really proud of that because I hardly download freelech and seeding is required so it's damn hard to get a decent upload.
I'm probably 90% Usenet nowadays and the rest is mostly public torrents but my monthly data usage is about 4TB down and a hair under 1TB up on average.
I need to buy more HDDs.
what indexers are you in?
Currently just NZBGeek and NZBPlanet, I also get a fair bit of content from animetosho's free usenet index.
That NZBPlanet one is an API key I happened across on an unsecured sonarr instance I found in a random google search ages ago, sonarr and radarr used to put all of your details in obfuscated plaintext so you could just right click the obfuscated passwords and api keys and see what they were in the search google for "2f34fw" entry, that was fixed in more modern versions. Secure your shit guys. Pirates will pirate your piracy sources. if they update their keys I'll lose it, but they seem really good so i'll just pay for it if that happens.
I'm a regular 1:1 overall casual user. I've both seeded generously and leeched precariously over the years, but i can safely say i've given as much as i took.
dude is seedlord
Are these decimal points or thousands demarkations?

I'm on Usenet, so I don't worry about that sort of stuff.
What's a seedbox ? How can I setup one?
Seedboxes are typically a remotely hosted server in a strategically located datacentre, configured to provide users with a way to download and seed torrents more efficiently than at home.
You can rent a seedbox from a bunch of companies (monthly cost, less effort), or you can even set one up at home (one-off cost, more effort).
Here's a list of seedbox companies to check out:
- Bytesized Hosting β¬14.00 / Month
- Dediseedbox $10.00 / Month
- EvoSeedbox $5.00 / Month
- Feral Hosting Β£10.00 / Month
- Giga-Rapid β¬0.99 / Month
- HostingByDesign β¬6.59 / Month
- RapidSeedboxes β¬8.00 / Month
- SonicBit $2.15 / Month
- The Seedbox β¬10.76 / Month
- Seedhost β¬6.00 / Month
- Seedit4.me β¬11.99 / Month
- Seedmonster $9.99 / Month
- Swizzin $15.95 / Month
- Ultra.cc β¬4.95 / Month
- WhatBox $15.00 / Month
- Xirvik $12.95 / Month
A bit more "home user friendly" explanation:
Basically your home PC where you download "Linux ISOs". But because you don't like picking everything (movies/tv shows/etc, but not pc games) manually - you want to automate it.
"Automate" is called Jellyfin/Plex and underlaying microservices, such as Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr, QBittorrent, Bazarr and so on. You want this to be available 24/7 so it automatically adds content (movies/shows) to your "wishlist", downloads when it becomes available and automatically appears in your Jellyfin/Plex server.
This is why you usually dedicate a server for this, which runs 24/7, usually at home. And I guess you call it "seedbox".
Some other users set up VPN on their server, configure qbittorrent to use ONLY vpn connection (to avoid getting emails from their ISPs for pirated Linux ISOs lol) and call it "seedbox". They first torrent anything to seedbox, then they download from it to their PC. In my case it's not needed, since everything is automated and I access all my "Linux ISOs" from Jellyfin.
Buy why do you need so many linux isos? Can't you just pick a distro and stick with it?
Lmao
