My name is Ganesh and I am a leacher :( What do you good folk think of leechers?

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 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

gregorum,

As long as you seed long enough for me to get the bits I need, I’m cool

I don't think you're a bad person but you wouldn't be welcome amongst my torrent communities.

nutbutter,

I used to be a leacher, even when I had a broadband connection. I never really knew why seeding was important. Now, I try to match the data I have uploaded, at least, if not more. Like, of I download a 50gb of something. I seed at least 50gb before I remove it.

Subject6051,

perfectly balanced, like all things should be

asmodeus,

Being a leecher when you don’t have any alternatives is not something bad.

I leeched when I was on limited bandwidth now I am the sole peer for about a dozen hard to find torrents. Balance in all things.

Seed > Leech > Disconnected. You’re still providing redundancy for the torrent, but it would be better to seed obviously.

I just know Master Roshi is hilarious!

Nemo,

Leachers are a fact of life. It’s not praiseworthy, but it’s not damning.
