For me it’s YIFY versions of older movies

    ~50x

    My policy is double my download, minimum. But I almost always hit much higher than that, my average is probably between 5-10x

    All my torrents are public sites, and I only torrent pretty common stuff, so I don’t feel too bad about killing a torrent after a week or two. I figure 5-10x average on easy-to-find, mid quality media is plenty in the karmic sense lol.

    As far as I am concerned, always give better than you get, even if that’s 1.01 but try to aim higher.

    Of course, if you’re seeding a rare or otherwise hard to find piece of media, then you should keep it alive for longer. I am in the process of upgrading my torrent machine, and once that happens, I will be able to hold far more active torrents, and my average ratios will be significantly improved.

    Happy sailing!

      My thinking is that i’ll start deleting stuff when i run out of space, which it turns out will never happen because 4Tb is apparently enough to store more movies than i’ll ever want to watch.

      So 2k+ movies are just sitting there passively seeding in the background and i just kinda let them. I really don’t know which ones are rare, but surely i must have saved a couple torrents from dying over the years. I know there’s a lot of churn in seeders so i feel good being long-term
