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.

The only torrent I ever removed my seed cap for was a set of DVD-audio ISOs. I had it downloading for months, but it never got above 5%. Eventually I found the same disc images on another site, so I dropped them in the download folder and rechecked the torrent, which came back 97% complete. The only files missing were box art scans and NFOs. I let that thing seed for about five months.

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

I want to seed too, but I can't get anyone to receive it

Plenty of seeders on private trackers

[–] JBloodthorn@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Good for them.

too many 😭

Yay.

Sometimes certain debried like Alldebried might be able to get you the torrent without any seeding p2p.

But they might be a paid service so that's up to you.

That chance is so low that you might even safe money just buying what you're looking for

Only if it’s still cached on their servers. If the torrent has zero seeders and it’s not cached even the debrid sites can’t complete the download on their side.
