Trying to keep a public torrent alive is hard work, but someone has to do it.
Back when I had VDSL and even ADSL, I'd try to hit 1.1 ratio because if everyone did that the risk of information being lost would be close to 0%. Nowadays with gigabit internet, all that prevents me from seeding is hard drive space, and 8 TB doesn't fill up quickly with how few good movies and series there are these days. I guess that's one way to stop piracy, just make fewer and worse series/movies.

"Good" is in the eye of the beholder. Have you considered that the quality hasn't changed much, but instead you've become more discerning as you age? I certainly have far less tolerance for the stupid shit I used to think was funny long ago.

Good definitely is subjective. I have Robot Jox in my library and it won’t be deleted until I’ve left this mortal coil.

I heard Crash and Burn won't be deleted either.

Somehow I forgot about that one. I don’t think I ever saw it.

Theoretical sequel, fun to watch if you like 90s post-apocalyptic thriller scifi, although there's barely any mecha in it.

Never mind then. The bots were the draw in the original. That and, of course, the acting!

[–] 0x0@lemmy.zip 0 points 3 weeks ago

The acting's.not bad for a B movie.

I don’t know who you are, but I love you- spread the good word that “there is no war, only Robot Jox”..
