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.

And this is why I backup all the torrents I download. If I lose the drive, they might not be seeded anymore and I won't be able to re-download everything. There's stuff in my collection that was hard to find 5 years ago.

Is there a specific way you backup torrents? Or do you just drop them in a folder?

[–] nickiam2@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I put it on S3 Glacier. It's really really cheap to store. $1/TB. But I also have multiple copies locally

Nice! But how do you organize them? Like putting them in subfolders, etc.

My fear is that I would end up with an infite list of files that I cannot organise easily
