A few months ago I grabbed this torrent from rarbg, and it took weeks to download. Often going days with no seeders.

I finally got it, and decided I’d seed beyond my usual 2x to help others get this. Then rarbg went under, and now I think I’ll just keep this one going.

    I rather just stick to Real-Debrid, and never worry about seeds nor seeding ever again. Cached torrents are the future!

        Disagree. I use a paid streaming service that’s every bit as convenient as Netflix, but has a library consisting of almost anything you could possibly think of. No need to hope somebody’s seeding it, or go searching through dozens of different sites. It’s one super easy go-to source that not only has the content, but remembers where you left off, allows user profiles, etc. That convenience is worth paying for.

    When rarbg went down I immediately went and for any torrent I still had loaded in my client I quadrupled my normal ratio (3.5 -> 12.00). Then I also just increased my ratio generally.

    I wish I had more disk space to keep things going even longer, but I really gotta cycle stuff out unfortunately.

      When rarbg went down I waited a couple weeks for straghlers then stopped seeding all rarbg torrents. Is there a reason to? How will people even find these torrents?
