I'll admit, when I first started torrent I was not really familiar with how it worked and how important seeding was. I would just use magnet links without configuration to save the torrent and seed after completion. Well.. I have finally, got myself back to 1.00 after a couple months and working to try to always seed double what I get for each torrent.

Often times I was one of the few random seeders available for some of these torrents. Friendly reminder to give back because you never know when you're one of the rare cases that can complete someones long lost file download!

This reminds me that I had to limit my public seeding.

Accidentally did 65TB in 18 days.

Giving back is good but once I realize how much I hate companies that own the media I have been seeding these Linux iso extra hard out of spite!

Private trackers enforce ratios, and good private trackers reward long-term seeding, which is part of why I like private trackers.

I'm very proud of my CG account that turns seventeen next month.

EDIT: No I don't have invites, before anyone asks.

I have yet to get a positive ratio on anything I've ever downloaded from a private tracker. Always have to sit and wait to accumulate points in their seeding time system... It's annoying because otherwise I'd be seeding a lot more shit for them.

It's definitely not easy, especially if you don't have a seedbox.

I have gotten a good amount of upload, but that's on torrents I have been seeding for literally years at a time.

What's are private teachers? How do they reward long term seeding?

What is a private tracker?

A private tracker is a torrent website that provides the same functionality as a public tracker but is invite-only. This means you need to be a member to view the contents of the site and download its torrents. A tracker can either be semiprivate, where you can create an account for free by just registering your details, or fully private, where another user has to invite you. Within a tracker, there is usually an extensive set of rules covering how much one can download, what kind of content one can upload, what precautions one must take when logging into the site, etc. Such rules and content vary from tracker to tracker, and go from rather liberal with little enforcement to ultra-paranoid and autistic
