A few months ago I grabbed this torrent from rarbg, and it took weeks to download. Often going days with no seeders.

I finally got it, and decided I'd seed beyond my usual 2x to help others get this. Then rarbg went under, and now I think I'll just keep this one going.

The only torrent I ever removed my seed cap for was a set of DVD-audio ISOs. I had it downloading for months, but it never got above 5%. Eventually I found the same disc images on another site, so I dropped them in the download folder and rechecked the torrent, which came back 97% complete. The only files missing were box art scans and NFOs. I let that thing seed for about five months.

Plenty of seeders on private trackers

Good for them.

I want to seed too, but I can't get anyone to receive it

[–] Moohamin12@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yay.

Sometimes certain debried like Alldebried might be able to get you the torrent without any seeding p2p.

But they might be a paid service so that's up to you.

That chance is so low that you might even safe money just buying what you're looking for

Only if it’s still cached on their servers. If the torrent has zero seeders and it’s not cached even the debrid sites can’t complete the download on their side.

What client is that you're using here? UI seems nice

[–] monty@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago

That is Transmission webui in dark mode

The oldest active torrent I know of is the fanimatrix. I'm still seeding it just in case.
