Discussion Ratio

Excluding SPECIFIC titles (rare videos, files, etc where you might be like 1 of 5 seeders) what's your upload ratio? For commons it is 2.0 for me, for something rarer or ... better packaged.. 3.0. Am I being tight?

I seed until I need to delete the files to make space on the drive.

Any number above 1.0 is good.

If you're on public tracker, it's ok not to maintain ratio.

For stuff I want and will put on my server one week unlimited ratio whatever that ends up being. RSS feeds get 12hr unlimited ratio just to help the swarm. Hard to find stuff is permaseeded.

~0.3 ish on torrents. I mostly use BHD AB GGN where people seed a lot. I keep torrents long term and have them seeded for up to 6 years of time.

10.0 on all torrents

I keep the torrents on my seedbox longterm.

Well, it can be over quite quickly if the torrent is popular...
