meanwhile me who just never deletes anything:
Thanks for your service.
Thank you for your service.
Some people including OP are completely missing the point of torrenting, which is to share, not leech. If everyone removed their torrents like the OP, everything would quickly become unavailable and die.
IMO a better strategy is to just limit your global upload speed. Then at least you’re still making everything healthy and available, even if its distributed slowly.
Noobie question: Is keeping my PC running to seed torrents taxing on the HDD or would it shorten its lifespan?
It’ll probably tax your HD a bit more, sure.
Yep, I set 2 for public trackers. I’m not very good at holding onto stuff for long periods of time, but I just got my first seedbox on Saturday so that may change. I am also kicking myself for not getting a seedbox years ago, it’s so good… and holy hell the speeds are amazing.
Why delete the torrent? The point of torrenting is to use the file.
I’ve made it my mission to use as much data as possible since my ISP forced me to pay more when they implemented some arbitrary data cap. Gots keep seeding until I run out of space to store content!
