seeders who continue seeding weeks and month after the download is complete are basically mercy from overwatch
Is that not the normal? I just started sailing again recently, and I legit feel bad having to clear out an old torrent to make room for something new.
I felt the same, but there's just things that's forever popular. I don't mind not seeding, if there's already 200+ doing it.
But for all the niche things, and for personal favorites, I'll seed for a loooong time.
For popular stuff I stop seeding when I've uploaded 10x the download size. For other stuff I keep it uploading forever.
