I would suggest getting a seed box. I have mine set that it uploads to a ratio of 1.25 and then shuts the torrent off. Then I delete those torrents from my seed box.

I use Video Thumbnails Maker and it works really well. It's free but it puts a watermark in one the boxes but that's no big deal.

@frostycab Are you saying I should just seed to 1 instead of 1.25? And after it's reached the appropriate ratio I shouldn't seed if there are no leechers? My ratio is insane because I've been uploading these collection torrents for the last year and frankly I will never exceed it, so I am happy to let others seed honestly.

My SB torrent client is ruTorrent. Do you know how to set up that "AND" condition? But forgive me I'm still confused about what that is supposed to do.

@frostycab said in I've destroyed my ratio:

@eobox91103 Short answer is yes. If you're putting stuff in the seedbox (or your own client for that matter) and your intention is to keep the torrent alive rather then you would definitely want to exempt it form any auto-stop automation

I would also add to this after I've downloaded my torrents to my computer from the seedbox I then tag those torrents with a tag indicating they've been downloaded. I can then sort them by their ratio and if they've met the 1.25 criteria they automatically stop and I simply delete them. I can also sort them by the date they were created (I guess this is a feature of bit torrent in general). I then tag those torrents with a different tag indicating what I like to call 'True Seed' if they haven't met that criteria and still need to be seeded. I then tell the seedbox to keep seeding them even if they hit that 1.25 ratio. My rationale is they are old torrents and you want them to survive over the newer well seeded ones. My seedbox is 1TB so those might linger for months even till they are seeded. Once they hit 1.25 I see if there are enough seeders otherwise depending on what it is I might keep seeding but will eventually delete it. I rarely fill up my seedbox.

I use an FTP program called FileZilla that connects to my seedbox and lists all the torrents that I then download to my computer.

The seedbox itself is run inside your web browser in a separate tab. Just like a torrent program on your computer but within the web browser. You can also download the torrents that way but it is slower and cumbersome to do that instead of using FileZilla.

I have a few other private torrent sites I go to that I use the seedbox for. You can use public trackers on the seedbox but they themselves disable seeding for the public trackers. Too bad. I always feel guilty not being able to seed back any of those torrents but I think the seedbox does that for liability reasons. Even though I've never had any issue with any torrent through the seedbox and I've had it now for 9 years.

Same! 250 and 450 TB is nothing to sneeze about! I feel like small potatoes compared to them. Although I have been a member here since 2013 I only started uploaded torrents 3 months ago. But I think in that time I've uploaded 25 TB's.

I've uploaded 39 TB
