Except you should set it to at least seed to a 1:1 ratio so that you're giving back as much as you download.

Did you mean 2:1? 1:1 is basically leeching because the network cannot grow. 2:1 means you're supporting growth therefore seeding.

While anything over 1:1 is ideal, I think we can agree that setting it to at least 1:1 is better than setting it to 0 as u/Riusaki suggested. While it is the bare minimum, it's not in any sense leeching to give back as much as much as you've received.
