Hey all, I know a lot of people are migrating to private torrent sites, and OK, that's a choice. However there are still a lot of people on the public torrents who are just leeching and not seeding.

I have several popular (old/classic) movies in my feed that I have uploaded (literally) 1000x the original and many more in the several hundred times. That's fine, I choose to support the community, but it's pretty depressing when I look at the seeders count and those movies have 2 or 3 other seeders.

This only works if you share. Please don't cut off as soon as you've downloaded.

And on a personal note, if anyone has audio or video files for "Machine Gun Fellatio" also listed as MGF could you please start seeding in particular

"MGF Pack 1"

"MGF+Pack+2"

"MGF+Pack+3"

If I can get the download completed I'll keep them up permanently, but unfortunately as they are obscure/rare I'm getting nowhere.

Rules don't permit me showing the torrent link of course. DM if that would help

How do I do that? It is extremely recently that I started using torrents.

Just after you downloaded it. Keep the program open so you are seeing automatically.. Meaning others can download the content from your computer. Assuming you correctly configured your firewall/router to open up the right ports.

Really appreciate the response, thank you. I do actually have those 3 albums (bought the CDs), I'm more chasing the rarer stuff. But that link will get added and seeded now

If I have had Radarr and Sonarr rename all my files and move them. Is it still possible to seed them? Do I need to package them as torrents again?

You see, the problem is that radar and sonarr move my files into designated folders. That is a good thing, but it also makes it so that my download client can't find it again to continue uploading.

I have now set it up so that I keep a copy in my downloads folder for a week, but I don't have the space to permanently keep two copies of all my downloads.

It would be great if radarr could tell my download client where the file has moved to so that it can keep on seeding indefinitely.

Unfortunately, I am behind CG-NAT, so it always barely uploads anything.

I wish it could work like WebRTC or Tailscale. There could just be servers like the trackers, but to help establish this direct connection between peers.

Being behind CGNAT unfortunately my seeding is limited...

No, I don't like using a VPN with PF... If I spend money, I do for Usenet....

Tell your ISP to opt you out of CGNAT.

If they don't have the IPv4 addresses they can't. Could always ask about IPv6, have seen ISP's give out more than you'd ever need for a home LAN (like a /64).

Edit - I should add, do make sure you have a setup firewall as you will no longer be "protected" by NAT and all the IPv6 addresses are routable to the open Internet.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Isn't /64 like the minimum for certain applications anyway?
