I have no idea about what it can be, lol.

I've got my best uploads on niche stuff, like lesser known movies and albums because I've became almost the only seed on them. In a sense, I'm happy to share and see that such content has people interested in it. My opera uploads exceeded my porn uploads so here is that (:

By the way, due to defederation you can't see the comment with the solution.

Here's the post with all comments:

My top two are two different encodings of Dominion, 1080p: 205:1 and 720p: 53.8:1, for a combined 634.2 GiB of upload data. I have been seeding for almost two years.

Please, take one. Watch it and consider how fortunate you are.

Everyone not vegan should watch

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I did and it just made me even less considerate of vegans

Who the fuck posts this over and over in #general and gets mad when people ask them to stop?

People grieve in different ways.

Apparently being on private trackers has significantly skewed my sense of what's normal sharing stats

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

My private tracker ratios are shit. If it wasn't for the points systems they have for seeding I wouldn't be able to do anything on them. Every so often one will randomly take off but most of the time they get stuck around like .04 even on brand new uploads. Fortunately I can find pretty much everything on public tracker. My ratio on those is far better. For example I have Godzilla Minus One from both a private tracker and public. The public one is at like 45 and the private one is like .6 both were downloaded within a day or two of each other back when everyone was pirating that movie. I would be seeding so much more shit from my private trackers if I didn't have to worry about upload ratio.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

In what way? My "real" torrents from private trackers have at most a ratio of 4.0, with most of them just slightly above 1.0 (and a bunch even below 1.0).

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Nah, I wasn't being serious, just making with the funny

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago

My highest ratio is 57 on Zelda echoes of wisdom ROM. But I have a second torrent for the same game with 15 ratio, because fuck Nintendo.

why do people torrent recipes? aren't they just free everywhere online

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

this doesn't answer the Why

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

It's just to get an insane ratio on a private tracker. A ratio of 1 billion looks cool but is otherwise pointless. This recipe is the smallest torrent on that site, so downloading it creates the biggest possible ratio. Not downloading anything eould give you a ratio of NaN since [Upload] divided by 0 is NaN.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

my guess is the switch keys

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

I have a 170mb torrent that have a seed ratio of over 490 and a seed time over 170 days (round down to the 10s)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

What was that, punk??

AMATEURS!

My best ratio (80) it's a 8gb soundtrack
