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

blindbunny,

IDC if you seed or leech as long as everyone that wants the file gets it.

It’s fine, if hit-and-run leeching was a huge problem then more trackers would enforce seed ratios. But most don’t, because it’s not. The fact that you mostly leech just means that you can’t most private trackers. Oh well, just use the public trackers instead and seed what you can.

Pay $2 a month to Gigarapid and get their basic plan.

I tried seeding with my data. Typically I get around 1Mbps during the day. Also being behind CG-NAT doesn’t help it (can’t open ports). So far I only managed to get one torrent above 1.0 ratio, but it took quite a while.

So my guess is that even if you tried, you possibly wouldn’t be that successful anyway. Also many popular torrents already have fast seedboxes competing, so your slow unconnectable network won’t see much demand anyway.

4anon,

My name is Ganesh

Good morning sir!

gregorum,

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