Keep Seeding (lemmy.one)
submitted 1 year ago by monty@lemmy.one to c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

A few months ago I grabbed this torrent from rarbg, and it took weeks to download. Often going days with no seeders.

I finally got it, and decided I'd seed beyond my usual 2x to help others get this. Then rarbg went under, and now I think I'll just keep this one going.

My very fancy sweet spot is somewhere between 10-20gb 1080p
My alright sweet spot is around 7-10gb 1080p.

Higher is too much in disk space for me.

7–20gb for a 1080p movie? Only my 4k movies are allowed to burn that much space. Most of my 1080p movies are under 5gb (usually under 3). I think the only 1080p movie I have at that size is Jiang Ziya: Legend of Deification (2020) at ~11gb, and that's only because I haven't found a dual audio version in HEVC/AV1.

Edit: For context, I watch on a 1440p monitor with headphones that simulate 7.1 surround sound (Logitech G Pro X Wireless). A LOT of my 1080p movies are RARBG's 2gb 5.1 releases. Incredible quality for how tiny the files are. Actual magic.

Like I said those are the movies I really enjoy (like Interstellar etc.)
Most get the usual treatment of sub 10gb.

I didn't read fancy as meaning "good movies I like" my bad. I thought it was just a modifier to sweet spot meant to spice up the sentence oops

Actually both. Might be actually my bad ;)

If it's a movie I enjoy or is often talked about as being visually stunning, it gets the good treatment.
If it's just another run of the mill, it get's the usual treatment.
