Finally fixed my torrent ratio
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
I'll admit, when I first started torrent I was not really familiar with how it worked and how important seeding was. I would just use magnet links without configuration to save the torrent and seed after completion. Well.. I have finally, got myself back to 1.00 after a couple months and working to try to always seed double what I get for each torrent.
Often times I was one of the few random seeders available for some of these torrents. Friendly reminder to give back because you never know when you're one of the rare cases that can complete someones long lost file download!
That's the spirit!
My rule of thumb has always been to share to ratio 1.1. Side thought: Maybe there's a funny correlation between birthrates needing to be 2.1 for a stable population, the extra .1 to make up for deaths, and well, the 2 is because it takes two to make a baby.
Anyway, since we're all sharing, these are my stats from 41 days ago when I switched to Nobara.
(Gigabit internet is the biggest luxury I allow myself to splurge on.)
You can back up those by copying ~/.local/share/qBittorrent and ~/.config/qBittorrent
I did go out of my way to check creation date and modified date on those folders to try and assess whether I had copied the statistics over from my distrohop. Might've been old stats plus new, I'm not too sure. I should really start using
cp -ainstead of just drag'n'drop in dolphin..I mean, dragging and dropping in dolphin worked for me.. Idk..
It's just that the original timestamps are lost that way. With
cp -aI would've kept the original "created on" date. My memory is so shot I can barely remember what I did last week, let alone 42 days ago, whether I copied over those stats or not..
