    You’re guaranteed to leave people unsatisfied if you stop immediately upon arriving at the seeding stage.

        That’s often due to people excluding the .nfo and “downloaded from [x]”.txt files.

          No, it shows me which files aren’t complete. It’s a tiny bit of the final episode and a .sfv file that was supposed to check for file integrity. So it’s not a complete loss, but it’s still disappointing.

            That’s odd, because the first and last episodes are usually the most downloaded; People will grab those to add to their seedboxes, because the “download first and last” option is an easy way to sample the torrent before fully committing. So typically speaking, it’s easiest/fastest to download the first and last episodes, since those are what is most available.

      Large popular trackers use seed boxes to provide torrents, your seeding is irrelevant. It is actually quite hard to get any ratio there as most people will get most data from the seed boxes.

      But what’s even better is to use a popular seed box yourself. There are high chances that a popular torrent will simply be linked to your seed box account instantly, so you don’t have to download anything at all. I mean you still need to transfer it to your PC, but you don’t have to torrent anything.

        Yeah I don’t bother seeding things that are widely available. My connection isn’t good enough. I seed things that I have personal interest in with very few other seeders. Obscure media, software, and ebooks mostly.

        I have no issue seeding on a 300mbps connection. I get tons of data upload.
