      I did Linux ISOs for a while, but the only ones getting my ratio up where kali and parrot. That scared me a little so i stopped (only seeded distros and didn’t use a vpn).

        I’m guessing the most common distros have regular people seeding a lot just on their PC in the background. Like me. Get your EndeavourOS while it’s hot people!

    I don’t know how calculate anonymous trackers.

    I’m probably 90% Usenet nowadays and the rest is mostly public torrents but my monthly data usage is about 4TB down and a hair under 1TB up on average.

    I need to buy more HDDs.

        Currently just NZBGeek and NZBPlanet, I also get a fair bit of content from animetosho’s free usenet index.

        That NZBPlanet one is an API key I happened across on an unsecured sonarr instance I found in a random google search ages ago, sonarr and radarr used to put all of your details in obfuscated plaintext so you could just right click the obfuscated passwords and api keys and see what they were in the search google for “2f34fw” entry, that was fixed in more modern versions. Secure your shit guys. Pirates will pirate your piracy sources. if they update their keys I’ll lose it, but they seem really good so i’ll just pay for it if that happens.

      Does the total time seeded mean how much combined time you’ve spent connecting to other people and uploading to them? Because that works out to about 1,000 years.

    I’m a regular 1:1 overall casual user. I’ve both seeded generously and leeched precariously over the years, but i can safely say i’ve given as much as i took.

    I’m not super familiar with torrent seeding, but from a layman’s perspective I’m really curious–how do you use so much data? My internet provider yells at me if I go over a 1.5 terabytes, I can’t imagine streaming normally for example while also uploading, or is this over a very long period of time like decades?

    Sorry if this is a silly question

      Telia internet, Lithuania. 19,90€ per month, unlimited.

      940mbps down & 580mbps up. Unlimited internet, fiber. Telia is known as trusted company that does not care about torrents and most importantly - never throttles or provides lower speeds. This ISP delivers what is promised. <3

      Also it’s Jellyfin&friends (radarr/sonarr stuff), so it’s all automated. Nearly 40TB of storage in raid5 and automatically downloads movies and some tv shows. And in 4k:) sometimes 100gb per movie.

      I pay Comcast an extra $30 a month for unlimited data. I use about 4-5TB a month with torrenting and Plex users watching stuff remotely.

      Just get a seedbox. No reason to use your own bandwidth or have torrent traffic on your own ISP. I just use bytehost and it’s also hosting my plex server. I’ve also used seedhost.eu for a long time without issue but that’s seedbox only (no extra apps like plex or sonar etc)

        I have never heard of a seed box!! I gotta admit, the concept is confusing to me off the bat, I’m going to have to research a bit. I don’t really understand how it’s not my ISP even though I’m using it for Internet, how strange. It seems very in depth and kindaaaaa scary, I’m not super technical but willing to learn! Thanks for mentioning

          It’s just a remote server you rent that has either a web interface for a torrent client and/or the ability to shell into your instance and use a terminal based solution. You tell the remote server to handle the torrent. It downloads it to the server and also seeds for you. Then if you need the file on your home machine, you can grab it via ftp sftp https wget whatever way you want. To your ISP it’s not torrent traffic and even better, you can vpn to tunnel or use baked in means to make this transaction encrypted. In short, you can seed forever without impacting your own internet and you can keep your actions relatively secure and private as compared to opening a home machine up and letting loose.

    23.79 TB uploaded 2.32 TB Downloaded 10.273 ratio

    From my primary seedbox. This is probably my best ratio and upload total but I’m more proud of maintaining a decent ratio on higher downloads with more competitive trackers :)
