torrenting etiquette question: how long should i seed a torrent (aside from "as long as possible" obviously)? i figure my seed/leech ratio should be above a certain value - 1.0? 2.0? any guidance here?
@typhlosion depends on how many other seeds there are honestly. but you kinda got it right with the "as long as possible". but 1.0 is a fine target
@typhlosion if there's 100 seeders and 5 leechers then like, there isn't a whole lot you can do to get your ratio up. just do it while you can and when you're done, you're done.
@typhlosion if the seeds/leechers ratio is high enough and/or it's not any kind of private tracker i'd just say whatever. seed until you decide you need the terabyte more than numbers nobody will care about.
