Is there some metric that shows amount of time a seeder has had files available but not necessarily actively seeding?
Archivists like you should get accolades for keeping the more rarely sought after media. More so than we need yet another seed of Avengers.
Thank you for seeding them. Unless it’s weird porn.
… it’s weird porn, isn’t it …
No, it’s movies, and it’s largely smaller lower-quality RARBG releases. They used to have a range of qualities available and the middle was always more popular, their highest and lowest quality releases used to be harder to seed, and that was years ago before they shut down
I agree.
Ideally, there are two types of profiles:
Archivalists who have a lot of storage and need pretty good uptime, but no need for high bandwidth. They should be rewarded for archiving, because they don’t really get a lot of upload credit.
Distributors who need low storage, high bandwidth, robust connections when online, but not necessarily high uptime. They just distribute the new and popular stuff.
I think the better private trackers recognize this and have systems in place to provide credit to people who seed rare torrents.
Is there a thing where you can link these to other trackers to make it available to more leechers?
I asked this question and was linked a github that keeps an up-to-date list of trackers that work. That, as far as i can tell, is the best i can do.
They’re public torrents, if people don’t want it then there’s not much i can do
I think so
