This is my proudest seed.
One of the reasons I don’t seed back is that I can’t - I can’t seem to figure out how to configure correctly despite setting all stuff about ports and connections I can on qbt. One of the problem is that, for privacy reasons, I’m obvs not using my own infra but rather hooking into someone else’s network, so there’s not much really I can change.
And the other reason is that I tend to rename, change and repack most of the stuff I download (series, games, etc) for size and convenience. Especially, I tend to downscale 1K or 2K movies down to 540p or 720p and I tend to rename and reshuffle files across folders, so that pretty much renders the storage as invalid for seeding the same torrent (unless anyone knows a trick I don’t).
Don’t worry about it. Just do what you can.
Just for reorganization, you could use links instead of actually moving the files. That’s how radarr, etc. do it.

Radarr like the arrs? I used to have a barebones arr setup years ago, should try to get back to something like that.
Just try to seed 1:1 if you can
I wish the content I tend to look for was popular enough that it would 1:1 by itself lol
Port forwarding helps connect to peers but it’s not strictly necessary.
As for organization and removing, symbolic links could work but if port forwarding is over your head, filesystem nuances might also not mean much to you.
My advice would be to focus on what you can do easily. Can you copy the files instead of moving, at least for a few days, or until the seed ratio has passed 1.0 or 2.0? If you can’t do it for everything, can you at least do it for the files with lower numbers of seeders?

I can do symlinks. Works when I can, so I might try keeping the original files one day or two, but that really depends on if the files are even being served (see below), else it’s much more important to me to convert the files to a format more suitable for me in terms of all of storage, compatibility, consumption, etc.
In terms of networking it’s less “its over my head” and more “I’m not using my own connection so it’s not like I have access to the modem to change things”. As much as I have tried different configurations in qbittorrent, torrents rarely seem to seed and when they do it’s only for brief periods of time (nowhere near enough to 1:1 it unless you are seeding, like, the Marvel Movie Of The Day).
I usually leave files seeding for a short while after I download them.
I keep downloading rare shit and no one else seems to want it.
Even the popular stuff seems to only upload for a day or so.
Also, I think deluge only wants to seed five things at a time then puts everything else as “queued.”
Keep seeding the rare shit please.
I know people go on about ratios and yadayada, but the popular stuff will always have seeders, seeding popular stuff is just helping people download quicker.
Seeding the rare shit means that torrent continues to exist.
So much stuff has been lost forever and a large part of that is torrents no longer having seeders.
You can probably set deluge settings for more than 5 torrent queued. At least qBittorent have this kind of setting.
The current seeder / leecher ratio on Big Bang Theory, this is one of the worst I’ve seen - I’ve dropped my seed limit from 10 to 7.5 because this is just poor form
I got the DVD
LOL, yeah fair. I have it for a family member whose taste is a little iffy.
I blacklisted it from Seerr because I have a server full of actually good shows, and I’m not going to host trash.
I’ve been trying to upgrade to optic fiber for this very reason
I literally was just watching this, past this exact scene. 😱
If only I was as fit as her. 🥲
Don’t be obsessed
Nothing a One Wish Willow stick can’t fix, right?
My partner and I genuinely had a lot of fun watching this movie. It was a refreshing take on the possession tropes, had awesome lighting and a great HISHE parody to top it off 👌.
