I thought I was doing well with 8 down and 20 up! In my defence - a lot of the stuff I'm seeding is old (10+ years) and I'm the only seed.

I consistently rely on people in situations like yours, so thank you

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

Based. As time goes on we rely more and more on the few who keep seeding long past the 1.0 ratio to keep a show alive. The rights to a show may change hands a dozen times before it becomes available to watch legally without spending tens of dollars on a used 20 year old disc that may or may not still work

[–] HumanPerson@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

It's not how you build a ratio, but helps so much more than seeding the latest Marvel thing. Thank you.

I wish I could help guys but my internet is limited.

[–] null@slrpnk.net 13 points 10 months ago

From each according to their ability. You're good.

[–] RandomLegend@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 10 months ago

We should give you some honorary title for that

🥉

You get a silver medal when you hit a 1.0 ratio, and a gold medal when you hit 2.0

[–] VitabytesDev@feddit.nl 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So, OP has 45.57 gold medals only for his first torrent on the list?

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

I was looking at the all-time ratio, not any individual torrent, but yeah OP can collect their two golds and a silver whenever they want

[–] cccc0@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago

it's...it's beautiful...

[–] jws_shadotak@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago

I'm almost to 10.00

I would like to simultaneously better organize, rename and move my ISO files while still being able to seed them. How do people do both? my download folder is not where I want to keep my iso files for consumption and the often cryptic names of iso files can be annoying to navigate and manage so how can this be improved without sacrificing seeding? thanks!

[–] Icarus@beehaw.org 3 points 10 months ago

Qbittorrent let's you dynamically rename and move stuff based to tags. Status, and other stuff. You could get really in depth with the scripting too.

[–] pipes@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Other than linking in the filesystem as Grippler said (took me a while to understand soft and hard links on linux but they're soo useful); you can create categories with a default location (e.g. /qbt/-TV, /qbt/-Films), so you only need to pick a category when adding a torrent, and "Automatic Management mode" should save it to the right folder automagically. Also if you don't like the names you can rename both items in the torrent list and/or their corresponding foldernames and filenames, I do all this from qbittorrent (probably doable with other software as well).

[–] pipes@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

Oh another tip, I have set it to always create subdirectories even if it's single files in the torrent. Makes it easier to browse the main folder alphabetically later!

If my desktop didn't get disconnected every night due to router restart and I wasn't worried about my VPN killswitch deciding to activate, I wouldn't mind doing a little bit of seeding of some old stuff.
