I have a seedbox. On private trackers I limit my UL speed to give home seeders as chance to build ratio.
For public torrents where I am the only seeder, I throttle upload so the leech might appreciate the value of having multiple seeders and will seed the torrent so the next user doesn't have to go through the same bad experience. It hardly ever works, though.
I never do the latter anymore. was downloading a pretty rare dvd rip awhile ago I only found after a really long time. download was slow, for about 4 days I was downloading and then seeder went offline and afaik never came back up. now I try to make sure if im the only seed to try and make sure they get priority to decrease the chances of that happening
EDIT: btw props to btdigg, I did eventually find it in some collection thanks to that
Seeding on a private tracker on a home connection with a VPN is fucking impossible.
I have a very high seed ratio but nearly everything is on public trackers.
And I don't have bad internet or anything (1000/1000 -VPN costs) so I could easily seed quite fast. But it never happens.
