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.

Now if only torrenting wouldn't mean an automatic 500€ invoice from a very specific law firm in my country :(

[–] Contend6248@feddit.de 40 points 2 years ago (1 children)

For about 5€ a month you can free yourself from these risks

Just rent a seedbox.
Torrenting actively from public trackers for 14€ per month and can host the best streaming service right at home.

Real debrid. Torrent to the cloud. Everything becomes available to other users.

[–] holycrapwtfatheism@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Does Usenet trigger the same issue?

I'd love to find a good alternative to Rarbg, truly the end of an era

[–] jayandp@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 years ago (4 children)

TorrentGalaxy is the closest I've found so far.

My crowning achievement is still seeding a 2.429TB torrent up to a 1.0 ratio, took me about 7 and a half months.

[–] renard_roux@beehaw.org 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What's inside a 2.4TB torrent? 🤔

Not from the same source, but I'm in the middle of getting a 5GB file that took me five days so far and will take another five to complete. After that, I think I will keep sharing for as long as possible this one, since I see a lot of peers every day, even though there's only one seeder, from which I'm currently downloading at 10Kbps (and not because of my bandwidth, I think it's theirs that's a bit on the slow side).

I have slow upload, but once there are two seeds things should get better for all other peers, compared to now haha

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I always am going crazy seeing a 1mib/s upload divided by 10 peers while I am sitting here with a gig symmetric line ready to satisfy all within a minute (if their pipes allow it).
JUST GIVE ME THE DAMN BANDWIDTH and I shall satisfy everyone and their dog for a 100 ratio...

Let me throw my seedbox into the ring. :)

[–] vd1n@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Is quality worth the 50gb?

I don't have any fancy speakers or monitor...

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 years ago (4 children)

My very fancy sweet spot is somewhere between 10-20gb 1080p
My alright sweet spot is around 7-10gb 1080p.

Higher is too much in disk space for me.

They look amazing on a big TV with a nice sound system. If it’s just for watching on your computer I would recommend the 2GB RARBG releases.

[–] Contend6248@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Try it out and see for yourself if it's worth it to you.

Even with fancy gear some people don't appreciate higher quality, i'm somewhat jealous, because that would save me so much money.

I seed anime OSTs, plenty enough and rare collections.

If you folks happen to download that category, chances are I am one of your sources 🤣

Thanks friend! You're doing the work of Kamisama

Thank you sailor.

Excellent work!

[–] nickiam2@aussie.zone 8 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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.

I did this with the That 70s show FGT torrents. Nobody seeds older media anymore, so each one had/has a >30 ratio on the 5GB-per-season BDrips

I wish for low-risk older media people would just keep the seed open forever. Very little bandwidth will be taken up but people will have it there if they want to go back and watch it.

[–] skadden@ctrlaltelite.xyz 8 points 2 years ago

I pretty much always leave stuff seeding once I get it these days. Ever since I bumped the disk space on my NAS it made it a lot easier to leave stuff instead of jockeying for space on disk.

My higher ratio items are all old shits like You Got Served lmao

[–] couragethebravedog@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Highest ratio I ever saw was from season 2 of one punch man. Was over 500.

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.
