I'm posting this as a kind of quasi-tutorial for a problem I experience a lot: that being I downloaded a large collection and some of the stuff just doesn't open in any player... how to clear out the garbage? Open every video? Nah.

Now, what about transcoding that 200GB rip of... let's say... LInux ISO's* to something more manageable. Dragging and dropping that into Handbrake? Not about that life.

What about managing all of this stuff so it's in one place and easily searchable?
Enter: Tdarr, the open-source project that manages your content for you.

What does it do? Primarily, it's a transcoding engine and secondarily, it's a logic engine similar to a simplified version of Jenkins.
You point at the root(s) of your content, tell it what you want it to do, (i.e. do a health check [attempt to transcode to another format, if successful, do x. If unsuccessful do y], transcode based on input you give, [i.e. all files between 1800 and 1950 horizontal lines of resolution, treat like 1080P and transcode to 9Mbps HEVC saving massive space in the process] or, simply automatically organize the content based on specific strings, regular expressions, etc.

To use it, just go to home.tdarr.io and download. Select free, then OS of choice. For demo, this is for Windows running natively (no docker, etc.)
Download the "updater" file, place it into a new, blank folder, and open.
When it's done, go into the folder, then tdarr_server, then launch Tdarr_server.exe.
Allow it through Windows Firewall if asked.
Give it a about 2 minutes to configure its database and it should get to a point where it stops logging heavily.
Then, go back into the folder and open Tdarr_node.exe and let it launch.
Allow it through Windows Firewall if asked.
In about 2 minutes, it should say "successfully downloaded plugins from server."
Now, go to http://localhost:8265 and you should see Tdarr.
Go to the libraries tab and click Library+ to add the first location you want to scan and create a new, blank folder for the cache [where Tdarr keeps files being worked on] and assign it under the 'cache' tab.

Now, this is where it is up to you, go to Flows at the top and then click Flow +.
You're presented with a tutorial on how to make a flow of your own, how to set ffmpeg settings, and how to assign the logic that matters to you.
My basic workflow is:
Input file -> Run through health check -> If success, move to folder.
-> if not successful, move to recycle bin.
And, just like that, it can scan through 3000 files, find the ones that are broken, and delete them for you.

Expanding that, the next step after success is: If ~1080P, transcode and rename
If ~720P, transcode and rename
If 4K, just... just rename

Then, it kicks off a Plex scan and in one click I:
Validated the download was broken
Transcoded it to save space
Automatically loaded it into Plex.

Delete the larger source file automatically? Don't? Overwrite it in place? It's up to you.

Alternatively, you can just let it automatically scan every hour, leave it running, start up the node and server on demand, have it use your GPU to accelerate transcoding using QuickSync (Intel and Intel Arc), NVENC (Nvidia), AMF/ACE/AME (AMD).
Or, more interestingly... simply put the source and destination video folders on a NAS/other network storage, point up to 5 computers at it, and blast away at terabytes worth of content per day.

*Doesn't actually support Linux ISO's, only works on video and audio files.
(The paid tiers offer little of value for home users, only >5 nodes and some graphs.)
I'm not affiliated with the project in any way.

I had a similar issue (people uploading pictures from different video) and the help desk got me sorted very quickly.

Pardon the obvious question, but are your ports fully forwarded both TCP and UDP?
Do torrents show up as green or do they show up as yellow/blue or "firewalled"/"obfuscated", etc?

If they're green, then the direct answer to having a ridiculous ratio is...
Seedbox: ~$5-8/month for up to 4TB of upload/month from a variety of vendors.
(More $$$ = more TB/month. I've seen 120TB/month... keep in mind you actually have to have the demand for that, though.
Download the freeleech to that and let it crank 24/7. If you time it right, you can easily get a TB or more per week.
Also, if you have any bonus points, it might be worthwhile to make a torrent freelech for a day and let it seed for tens of GB vs trading that for 1GB.

The root cause of why you don't seed well with a large number of leechers is quite simple: BT clients were designed in a time when computers were single core and... 512MB of RAM on the high end. They put extremely low limits on how many peers you can have to prevent the computers of the time from being overloaded. Now, you yourself can up those limits, but the 99% of users will only connect to 10, 25, 100 users at most. If there are 300 peers and their client is set to 25 max peers/torrent (or 100 total global connections and they have 15 torrents going, etc.) you only have like a <10% chance they'll even hit you.

Because the people who know how to up the peer count do that, they have a much higher chance of catching that incoming request and fulfilling it as well.
(i.e. 300 users looking for connection, if you set it to 300, you can serve all incoming requests. If set to 25, your client will reject incoming requests once that 25 is satisfied.) Further, because those 25 active connections might be at 0.02Kbps, it'll reject the gigabit requests coming from people with a fat pipe. And we all know how tragic that is.
