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.

Not as far as I'm aware, but the way I justify it is that the more people who are using a Debrid service, the less strain it puts on torrents because of fewer leechers. Real-Debrid only needs to download the file once, and then every subscriber has immediate access to it.

You can always just use a seedbox instead. The main reason why I use Debrid is because it allows me to stream any show or movie I want instantly to my TV, without having to wait, the instant downloads for games & software is just an added bonus. So for me it's worth the tradeoff of not being able to do my rightful duty and seed.
