Trying to keep a public torrent alive is hard work, but someone has to do it.

Back when I had VDSL and even ADSL, I'd try to hit 1.1 ratio because if everyone did that the risk of information being lost would be close to 0%. Nowadays with gigabit internet, all that prevents me from seeding is hard drive space, and 8 TB doesn't fill up quickly with how few good movies and series there are these days. I guess that's one way to stop piracy, just make fewer and worse series/movies.

"Good" is in the eye of the beholder. Have you considered that the quality hasn't changed much, but instead you've become more discerning as you age? I certainly have far less tolerance for the stupid shit I used to think was funny long ago.

I get that. I used to think The Big Bang Theory was funny
*shudder*

Depends on the comparison. Better than sitting in silence, worse than touching grass.

I think I would rather watch paint dry than The Big Bang Theory tbh

Yeah, I'm aware of that. And if I liked copoganda I'd be swimming in shows. That's just getting older I guess.

There's so much good shit on TV, and at least half of it doesn't involve cops.

[-] RedSnt@feddit.dk 2 points 2 weeks ago

at least half of it doesn’t involve cops.

I like how safe you're playing that estimate 😂

Unfortunately BitTorrent clients are kinda messy and don't make it easy to maintain a long term seeding library. I've moved to qbittorrent which is a bit better than Deluge on that regard, but it's still not great.

Yeah, they are messy. I tried BiglyBT a few years back, and while I love a lot of features, I think that was overkill for sure. qBittorrent is the golden standard at the moment for sure.
