do you seed??? · DIGIT-ARC

of course it relates to torrents... I read somewhere that Indians are amongst the top 4 for downloading but in the bottom 2 when it comes to seeding.... its created a bad impression in the sharing world... i am being honest and i personally dont seed, but am thinking of starting to... what do you guys have to say?

I seed each and every torrent untill I run out of space. In that case I delete old ones(need wise).

seed? i thought this thread was something to do with sperm donation...

well i use only mediafire ... so no need to seed

I don't seed. Downloading itself takes days. No patience left to seed. Plus seeding doesn't work properly on my system coz port forwarding not setup up.

S

I personally seed only for a few.
My download speed is around 200kB/s and upload(seeding) is 30-40kB/s
seeding 100% takes 5 x time taken to download.
So, seeding is a big NO :evil:

R

^Leave your computer on 24*7

Not every one lives in Mumbai. I have power cuts a number of times in a day. Still I try to run it 24x7.

No I don't.... Problem?

yes. At least till 1.0 ratio, consider it an obligation, like negative karma police will come and get me if I dont seed.
but I dnt nid to pirate at the same time, im seeding things that will never be sold again

its very much a moral decision

correct me if i am wrong friends...does seeding eat up your allowance??

i didnt get you bro... what do you mean by run out of space

for private trackers my answer is yes and for public trackers :no

i do seed. I clean my utorrent once in 4-5 months or so. Otherwise i never delete torrents. My upload speed is equal to my download speed (1Mbps), so no issues to seed. Doesnt matter if its private or public tracker. The upload amount is almost double than download every month. I guess this answers the question !

I seed !! But not for a long time...had made my old pc as a seed box for sometime...i e seen that downloads are faster when seeding..

I hardly download anything.

Usualy my interaction with torrents is when a new Linux distro is released. At that time, I seed for ~7-10 days.

M

I used to seed a lot, but because UPLOADS are also counted in AirTel FU(CK)P, I seed very rarely now a days

Those who wanna seed can Try Seedbox

Seeding is every torrenters moral duty as well as an obligation to do It.
It's what the entire eco system of torrents is based on.

For me, how much I seed depends on the existing ratio of seeders to peers. I seed to ratio of 1 for each torrent atleast.
Then if the contents of a torrent is rare or if their is a high shortage of seeders, I try to seed it as long as I can.

Btw, seeding is one of the chief reasons for me to have a "true" unlimited connection as I have currently.

Well to be honest i seed untill downloading is finished. Then click on remove.

And "only reason" is slow connection, nothing related to morals and all.

The day my city have fast and cheap connections , i'll do for sure. I like sharing.

Exactly I do

I used to see a lot, but recently my seed ratio has gone down from 2.0+ to ~1.4. I see that I hardly get any leeches now, despite for how many hours I leave the torrent on seeding.

i only seed after my FUP has expired. never before that.

Seed till you bleed

anyways I seed at same speed as I download and ratio is around 0.6-1 max. Hardly above that

By out of space I mean, I have a dedicated Drive for Downloading and when it gets filled up, I delete torrents. So until I delete them I seed each and every torrent.

i have tried multiple times, but it just doesn't seed, transmission on MAC OS X 10.5

I prefer torrents over direct downloads bcoz when link dies in direct dwnlds u can not resume the link

I seed as much as possible

Not all can seed but you all must know that what we download is because someone is seeding, so as a p2p fan i atleast seed til 1:1 ratio and i also like to get better seedrank which is shown in deluge torrent client for each torrent :wink:

You don't have port forwarding setup properly.

what does that mean, can anybody please explain?

Google is your best help buddy.
But never expected a OSX user to know all this stuff.

Now what does that mean.............

hey, but in the preferences windows, it does come that the port is open. And yet it doesn't upload

UL'ed 290GB past 30 days.

I am seed.

S

I have slow and limited net in college, and fast and limited net at home. I am hardly able to download things, let alone seeding.

I seed. The best way to seed is to download Unrared files , and download direcctly into the clasified folder in your PC instead of a separate download folder , i.e. if you are downloading a TV Episode , start downloading it inside your TV folder.

I actually seeded over 8 GB on a 60mb mp3 album .

Can you give more insights on this.

Guys I seem to get good upload speeds on torrents if I downloaded the torrent file from public torrents but if downloaded from Private Torrents the upload speed is not that great.
Any settings that I should check in my internet connection to see if the upload speed is getting restricted somewhere?

Heck, i never *Download* anything from torrents
unless its linux distros or linux open source programs
because i'm the anti-piracy Brown knight in shining armor :grin:

hey but when i download big distros(anything above 500mb) I do seed

Are you being antipiracy supporter or antitorrent supporter?
It's good that you use torrents limited and also prefer legitimate stuff.
Since you are not much into torrents does it make sense for you to post in a thread asking if someone seeds? Wherein you seed very rarely?
You just want to prove that you are doing lot of service by getting legitimate stuff and the others around are ..

well with piracy in picture and torrents/sharing sites alive, film/music producers still make millions and sometimes billions legally, so i dont see what good you are doing here... just an opinion :wink:

M

Before when i had bsnl connection i never use to seed.Now i have ACT connection so no problem in seeding

Heck, i now do *Download* stuff from torrents
i seeded 2.20gb for a 6gb file recenty

please give back to the community what the amount you took from them. seed 1:1

yes, I plant my seed.

Till ratio 1.0, whenever I torrent (rarely). My ISP has capped upload speeds at 512 kbps on all plans.

I seed the things which I like, maybe even like 500 times the size
Examples are one piece and SAO

W

hmm...
Downloaded:30GB
Uploaded:4.5GB

usually seed for a week before deleting the torrent

I seed as long as my PC is turned on, but @ 256kbps max, any more my browsing is choked, when not browsing I seed @ 356kbps.

Normally people with low bandwidth tend to only leech.. Some providers also restrict upload+download speed to rated speed.. I generally keep the uploads on for one week or so.. Especially for movies because there is no use keeping them on your hard disk forever..

Use private trackers form 2006, so I've to.

W

^Always been curious about that. What does that exactly mean?

private tracker only allows users who are registered. And keeps your track record.

Getting into a private tracker is very difficult.. And if you manage to get in then there are stringent requirements for keeping your membership.. Like maintaining a ratio of above 1 or above 2.. To get into a private tracker you need to get invited or need to pay your way through..

Nope. 3g is damncostly and can't get a broadband connection in hostel
