i wonder how much is left from the very early sharing ideals from the dawn of the internet.

do you juat take or do you offer something?

upload stuff, contribute by seeding, rip, be part of a group …?

    Obvious answer is that people are sharing otherwise you’d have nothing to download :P

    For me I usually permaseed, or at least seed back 5-10x if not planning to keep a download. Also have created new uploads at torrent sites and occasionally fill requests.

    I seed as much as I can but I still have a 0.75 ratio sadly. I tend to dl random old shit nobody wants so i’m just helping the other weirdos like me. I plan on switchi g to linux and I’d like to set up my computer to be as secure as possible and then maybe upload stuff also.

    And like in the old times I bring my hdd with me and share with friends when we meet in person !

    I love seeing the seed ratio go up. For new releases it’s common to see 100:1 before I shut em off. My system is pretty disorganised and not automated which is why I manually clean up torrents. I’d love to run some long running seeds in future but haven’t gotten around to it yet.

    But yea… SEED NUMBER GO UP
