I'll admit, when I first started torrent I was not really familiar with how it worked and how important seeding was. I would just use magnet links without configuration to save the torrent and seed after completion. Well.. I have finally, got myself back to 1.00 after a couple months and working to try to always seed double what I get for each torrent.

Often times I was one of the few random seeders available for some of these torrents. Friendly reminder to give back because you never know when you're one of the rare cases that can complete someones long lost file download!

Private trackers enforce ratios, and good private trackers reward long-term seeding, which is part of why I like private trackers.

I'm very proud of my CG account that turns seventeen next month.

EDIT: No I don't have invites, before anyone asks.

Yeah, this is also a problem though. I'd love to be on a private tracker as I was in the past, but once you're out it's just too much of a hassle to get back in.

I miss eMule though. I always loved to share some rare exotic stuff and see someone decided they want that and I provided it. It's not just about bandwidth, though I had pretty big numbers there. Torrents just don't hit the same.

Ed2k/kad network still have good health with new and old stuff

Problem is how most networks are configured today that prevent HighID on eMule, severely crippling it. It used to be annoying to have LowID in the past and reconnecting usually fixes it, now it's a given and you can't get out of it. It's so hard to get uploads going and it makes me sad :(

The problem with HighID/LowID on eMule is the same on bittorrent or any other p2p, you need someone with port forwarding to upload/download content. In my case I am out of cg-nat and sharing 24/7.

[–] RejZoR@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago

It's not. Bittorrent uses newer methods to connect that work with current network configurations where eMule devs stubbornly refused because it would create some overhead like we're still stuck on 56k or ISDN era and never improved it.

Apparently there is a way using VPN with P2P, but I'm not gonna pay for it just to run eMule...

This reminds me that I had to limit my public seeding.

Accidentally did 65TB in 18 days.

Yeah... It's still going so fuck it.

To be fair this is actually a linux ISO.
