edit 2: thank you to everyone who replied.
edit: What type of leechers are acceptable and what kind are not acceptable according to you?
It’s amazing how much I need others to validate my actions. I wish I could live guilt free without this. But, I can’t, so here I am. Good people of lemmy, judge me
I don’t have a lot of internet. I get like 1.5 GB of internet a dafy and it’s 4G, not truly 4g, more like 0.2 mbps to 4mbps at max and I don’t seed after I am done downloading my torrents. If I had greater amounts of Data, like limitless data or something like 2000GBs per month or something, I would constantly be seeding, but I don’t. Are my actions morally justifiable? I feel guilty when that last seeder seeds me all I need and when someone needs another seeder, I turn off my seeding :(
I mean, I don’t want to do it, but with the data I have, I can’t afford to seed much, what should I do?
I might take some time to reply to you, I ain’t abandoning the thread btw, is https://sh.itjust.works/ down? Just asking, I could not access it today
PS: I seed books and stuff like that. I mean, they are only like 1 or 2 mbs and I seed em when no one else is. But you know other stuff like extra legal videos series, soap operas etc etc are beyond me
for every person who leeches on mobile data and can’t afford to seed, there’s someone who has a freakishly powerful rig that seeds like 17 different torrents 24 hours a day. if you can’t afford to seed, don’t worry about it, because people who can afford to seed often do. things balance out in the end
I don’t have a seed box but I constantly seed a few hundred torrents on my 1 Gbps connection. Many of them I’ve been seeding for over ten years. I couldn’t care less about people like OP. Everyone should just do the best they can. If the best you can do is leech, that’s okay with me.
That’s the key to most of everyday life. Just do your best.
