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!
I miss eMule though. I always loved to share some rare exotic stuff and see someone decided they want that and I provided it. It's not just about bandwidth, though I had pretty big numbers there. Torrents just don't hit the same.
Soulseek is still kicking ass and taking names, bruh
If you're on linux check out the Nicotine+ native linux client for soulseek
I know, but I still miss my donkey. It was slow but stubborn and always delivered eventually. Also it was mesmerizing watching all the clients and traffic happening and watching KAD nodes visualization. Good times. It's still there but because it now always connects with LowID it doesn't work as good as it did with HighID...
