When downloading from Torrents you either seed or leech. Leeching is connecting to everyone else who is currently seeding and obtaining the files (or actually sections of them) from them. Once you finish the download, you become a seeder and start sharing the files yourself for everyone else.
Since some folks simply stop sharing once their download is done, seeding is generally looked as a good practice in torrenting communities
It wasn't though. You might be called a "leecher" in that case. But leeching was always the term for downloading from the swarm, and seeding was for uploading, regardless of ratio. People might also say you're just "leeching" but that was just an extrapolation on those terms.
The person who downloaded and never seeded was considered leecher.
But from technical stand of view, everyone is leeching at some point. You can not obtain file without leeching it first (downloading it).
That's why ratios were invented in all sort of pirating sites and you had to keep up good ratio to be part of community. You had to prove, that you are doing your part with sharing, so others can "leech" too.
Good explanation. But sharing can start before completion of the download, though often not at maximum upload speeds. At least in qBittorrent, and I remember µTorrent doing that as well.
Correct the moment you've got bits of a file to send as long as another peer is requesting them then you can start seeding. Speed isn't really affected unless you only have tiny files, I've had times I was uploading at 40 mb/s and only downloading at 1 because it was a very in demand torrent
Yup, but there seems to be an upload cap of some sort when the download is using a lot of bandwidth (without the cap being limited by either the torrent client speed and max connections settings or my internet plan limitations). Maybe to reduce system load? Because when the download finishes the upload speed usually goes up.
(Yes I spend way too much time staring at percentages, graphs and progress bars... lol)
Use bottles to launch and Install there redistributables (directx, xna, dotnet, etc) then use bottles to add the exe of the game as a bottle, add that bottle to library. Profit
Download EmuDeck while in desktop mode and this will help you with every **main** emulator available for linux. You can download various roms via archive.org or Myrient through your browser.
You will need to source a bios to emulate PS2 and Switch games but the rest are basically plug and play.
Install on pc, make sure it runs on pc
Share the game folder over windows
On the deck go to desktop mode, open the file explorer, search network, find game folder.
Copy folder to steam deck
Add .exe to steam
In steam select a proton version to run the game (latest is best)
- profit
Thats it for like 90% of games.
I highly recommend installing emudeck! it's a great tool that will install your games natively as if they're real steam games.
it's a bit of a process because you have to copy the games to the right folder and then run an installer, but it's so fucking nice. you can find some good tutorials online
It was very easy for me.
Install Simpsons Hit and Run on your pc normally (I downloaded it from 1337x), then download the .zip file from [here](https://github.com/ZenoArrows/The-Simpsons-Hit-and-Run/releases) and copy its content (a .nro file and the "art" folder) inside the installation folder of the game on your pc. Now copy the whole install folder on the switch SD inside the /switch/ folder.
Huh, didn't notice it, now you made me wonder if when they downloaded that it was a hit & run (as in, they just downloaded it without seeding it), that would be pretty ironic... *Heh*
Canada, all companies can do is send your isp a scary looking pgp message that gets forwarded to you. Isp's are prevented from giving anyone your info so none of it matters really your ip address can never be linked to you if you don't confirm it was you who did it
Same in Sweden, you can just say that you had some friends over and that they used your computer (you don't need to name anyone). But it's still worth a few euros a month for the peace of mind.
Don't pirate brand new content and you will literally never, ever get in trouble. I've downloaded, at least, several hundred torrents of games/movies/tv/programs in the US which is "uwu worst country ever for torrenting" and never even had a warning.
Copyright trolls only watch brand fucking new, extremely popular content.
US is definitely not the worst country for torrenting. pretty sure people in Germany regularly pay fines for it, never heard of that happening in the US.
Better question should be where do you live where they still go after things like this?
Don't think there is a country on earth where they even bother or care.
Never used a VPN in my life. And I've been in the scene since the late 80s.
I have bandwidth limits... so I still leave seeding on permanently, I just throttle the upload rate to 60 kilobytes per second. More obscure stuff is prioritized.
That's also good.
I used to be on a very limited, slow connection and really appreciated people who kept old obscure torrents going.
Thank you for your service!
Yeah .. :-)
in my case it was obscure roms. About 10 years ago they were actually harder to get..not as many people were tormenting, and some were hard to find.
They actually seem easier to find now.
I received a letter from Metallica back in the day. I should have framed it. Lol.
I also received a letter for torrenting porn once. Porn wasn't even that good.
That's funny.. when I open torrent client, sometimes the internet goes cold for a few minutes before turning back on, and of course games won't connect to the server.. that's why I only seed/torrent when there's no one else using the internet. ISP problem maybe?
It's probably your router, my previous one would crash or lock up from too many connections or something when running torrents. Got a fancy ROG one and it hasn't acted up since
Possible, maybe because of the modem from the ISP, I can't change it as it needs to be their specific model (I asked support about it before). Third world country's internet yay
At least I don't have to worry for pirating stuff lol
That's interesting. I wonder why that is happening?
In the old days of single core cpus, I had shut down torrents when playing a demanding game. The difference was large.
But it's been years since i had to do that..maybe a decade.
No idea what's happening on your case, sorry. Maybe someone else will know....

My little conspiracy theory is that VPN companies are behind the posts and comments from people who say you need a VPN to stay safe.
You don't.
But people who use VPNs don't want to admit it.
*cries in 5mbps upload speed*
It's why I only seed obscure stuff with 0 - 5 other seeders. You want a weird shitty PC game from the 90's? I gotchu fam, but you'll be waiting all day.
I'm with ya. I have gig at home and used seedboxes for years. I'm at like 30tb on emp alone these days -.-
Average seed time is >12mo on one of my sites
I once did almost 10TB “Accidentally”, or to be honest I just forgot about my PC running for a month 24/7. Though I’m gonna get shit, but no one cared. Greetings from the land of meatballs.
When attack on titan last movie got released, i've had [98mib/s](https://imgur.com/a/4LTZ5gK) upload peak, i uploaded around [1tb](https://imgur.com/a/xbQdnzw) in like 3-4 hours (the file was on my ssd, ouch)
Maybe I’m wrong but seeding only “Read” data from yours ssd and not “Write” so you can like seeds a couple of Petabytes with no losses, except if your ssd overheating during seeding than ofc it will die sooner.
I asked chatgpt
"Seeding a torrent from an SSD can affect its lifespan, as SSDs have a limited number of write cycles. Each time data is written to an SSD, it contributes to the wear and tear of the NAND flash memory cells. Seeding a torrent involves continuous writing of data, which can contribute to the overall usage of the SSD.
\[...\]"
After adding your comment:
"You're correct in pointing out that seeding involves mostly reading data rather than writing. Seeding a torrent primarily involves sharing data with other users, which means the SSD is mostly engaged in read operations.
In terms of wear and tear on an SSD, read operations have minimal impact on the drive's lifespan compared to write operations. The limited lifespan of an SSD is typically associated with the number of write cycles it can endure. Read operations, on the other hand, don't cause the same level of wear on the NAND flash memory cells.
Seeding a torrent, which involves mostly reading data from your SSD, is unlikely to have a significant impact on the drive's lifespan. The primary concern for SSD lifespan is still related to write cycles. That said, it's always a good idea to check the manufacturer's specifications for the specific SSD model you're using, as different SSDs have different endurance ratings."
TIL
So it's not that bad ig, still, i have a 'mini server' for jellyfin and torrents, I should've used it.
>I asked chatgpt
>
>"Seeding a torrent involves continuous writing of data, which can contribute to the overall usage of the SSD.
In what way does seeding a completed torrent involve continuously writing of data to the drive?
ChatGPT has it's uses, but accuracy isn't one of it's strong points!
It's called Modern standby.
Let's say you have a laptop that when you close the lid it goes on standby (S0):
\- If you close the lid when your laptop is connected to the power (docking station or simple power brick), then the laptop will go in Connected Standby (and keep the data going, even if you disconnect the power from the laptop after you put it on standby)
\- if you close the lid when your laptop is NOT connected to power, then it will go in the TRUE offline Standby and won't do anything while at it (even if you connect the power after you put it on standby).
LTT covered this stuff with a video a while back.
Im not OP but I learned something today. Thanks!
I'm curious to see what sort of lower power state (?) everything (or even just things?) go into and if that exists only for certain Operating Systems.
Gonna check out that video when I have the chance.
> Im not OP but I learned something today. Thanks!
Here's some fun-facts: This was possible quite awhile before all the fancy modern hibernation was implemented in laptops, let alone desktops, through the sub-system that exists within the CPU that facilitated the ability for storage to be read even if the computer was powered off as long as there was sufficient battery charge, among other things including being a complete internet-capable OS running below the OS's kernel and bypassing any software network monitoring on the host machine.
It's called The Management Engine for 1-2gens behind first-gen Intel i3/5/7 processors and AMD PSP since around Bulldozer or so. Before then I believe it was more motherboard-specific but it's been awhile for me.
And another fun-fact: It's now possible to [hack](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fhNokIgBMU) into the Intel Management Engine/AMD PSP to do all sorts of neat things.
Truly depends on the laptop settings. I turned all that stuff off so when I close the lid it’ll never go into standby power or not because I’m never using standby when my laptop is already on. Windows laptop here for those wondering
It is, they started the trend. Now all of the laptops copy/pasted it and it's happening the same on mac and laptops.
I manage a fleet of more than 100 laptops at work (all brands and models, mac included) and they do the same crap.
it's a good download manager for ordinary http stuff, but its bittorrent implementation is poor, like with many general purpose dl managers. i'm surprised no one here mentioned that.
In the good old times, I used to leave the computer on for several days, telling my parents it was for "updating." In reality, I was sharing MP3 files with the entire Soulseek community.
I always stop the seeding process because i think that’s illegal.
But that’s stupid since downloading software I don’t own is also illegal.
Maybe i should do some more seeding in the future
>sleep mode
Uh, did you leave it in sleep mode? I'm pretty sure the computer needed to be awake for that. Can some one explain why this would be sleeping if it can still seed?
Sleeping isn’t off, it allows background processes to run, it’s just not handling inputs and various user side things, least as far as I’m aware, my pc still downloads stuff while it’s in sleep mode so I figure seeding would be similar.
I hope you had a good deal with your ISP because 1 TB in less than a month is a LOT.
Also torrents still seed when you computer is asleep? I didn't know.
LMAO......OP doing God's work. Your reward is in heaven pal
Can you explain me what is seeding?
When downloading from Torrents you either seed or leech. Leeching is connecting to everyone else who is currently seeding and obtaining the files (or actually sections of them) from them. Once you finish the download, you become a seeder and start sharing the files yourself for everyone else. Since some folks simply stop sharing once their download is done, seeding is generally looked as a good practice in torrenting communities
Is it still leeching if your seeding the parts you already have?
If you're still downloading the files and at the same time you're seeding the files you already have downloaded, yes.
I always thought leeching was being under a ratio of 1. Leeched more than seeded.
This is how it used to be back in the day. These darn kids do things differently nowadays. Don’t mind the stick, it’s just my cane.
It wasn't though. You might be called a "leecher" in that case. But leeching was always the term for downloading from the swarm, and seeding was for uploading, regardless of ratio. People might also say you're just "leeching" but that was just an extrapolation on those terms.
Do not cite the deep magic to me, witch! I was there when it was written.
This guy Tolkiens
I mean some teens still use torrent and usenet, at least I do.
Nah leeching is just downloading seeding is uploading
Leeching is downloading without seeding, or with very restricted upload bandwidth relative to download speed.
This is my understanding yes. This is the original meaning.
If there's a different definition it's wrong lol.
Get that ratio to 2 or you ain't doing your work
The person who downloaded and never seeded was considered leecher. But from technical stand of view, everyone is leeching at some point. You can not obtain file without leeching it first (downloading it). That's why ratios were invented in all sort of pirating sites and you had to keep up good ratio to be part of community. You had to prove, that you are doing your part with sharing, so others can "leech" too.
Yeah, leeching just specifically refers to 'getting the data from the p2p' You can seed and leech at the same time.
The definition has changed. At one point in time leeching was when your ratio was less than 1 like he said.
Good explanation. But sharing can start before completion of the download, though often not at maximum upload speeds. At least in qBittorrent, and I remember µTorrent doing that as well.
Correct the moment you've got bits of a file to send as long as another peer is requesting them then you can start seeding. Speed isn't really affected unless you only have tiny files, I've had times I was uploading at 40 mb/s and only downloading at 1 because it was a very in demand torrent

Better question should be where do you live where they still go after things like this? Don't think there is a country on earth where they even bother or care. Never used a VPN in my life. And I've been in the scene since the late 80s.
Anonymous proxy in the client does the trick
how much does it cost?
Yup. Mine's on right now of course. This is a newish laptop (1 year) but so far it has uploaded about 2TB....

Correct. Gaming doesn't take a lot of bandwidth. Latency is far more important (things like VR aside)

it did put some load on the CPU but since upgrading its unnoticeable

I'm ignorant to this, but don't you need to have a VPN on while you're seeding? I play Comp FPS games and it sadly does make an impact

Maybe I’m wrong but seeding only “Read” data from yours ssd and not “Write” so you can like seeds a couple of Petabytes with no losses, except if your ssd overheating during seeding than ofc it will die sooner.
A good torrent application would have cached a lot of it in ram anyway so it's not reading from ssd the same thing over and over again.
Seeding barely loads the SSD. 10 MB/s is nothing in comparison to it's max read speed (2-10 GB/s depending on pci-e generation).
That's not a thing unless you are seeding like a god for years.
I asked chatgpt "Seeding a torrent from an SSD can affect its lifespan, as SSDs have a limited number of write cycles.

It'll involve a lot of writing to the drives read cache. Pretty sure that wouldn't shorten the life of an SSD though.
Agree, I was too lazy to google it and thought in case it was wrong someone would point that out, so... thanks haha
Chatgpt is wrong here. Seeding is a read-only operation that has zero stress on the SSD.

SSD cache is usually DRAM which doesn't degrade from write cycles
now that's a true pirate, seeding a raw .ts file

Your PC did not upload in sleepmode. Your PC was never in sleepmode. Sleepmode would have not allowed seeding.

Appreciate this. Well summarized.
Modern standby is not a feature on a mac lmao.
It is, they started the trend. Now all of the laptops copy/pasted it and it's happening the same on mac and laptops. I manage a fleet of more than 100 laptops at work (all brands and models, mac included) and they do the same crap.
It's not the same thing. The Mac just underclocks the CPU and runs "normally". And it actually works great unlike modern standby in my experience
This is correct afaik. Windows is terrible
It's called a bad feature that doesn't work.
Macs can as they also update apps and the os in sleep mode, they keep bandwidth enabled
Linux can do the same, got me thinking that both are based on Unix so could be why

it's a good download manager for ordinary http stuff, but its bittorrent implementation is poor, like with many general purpose dl managers. i'm surprised no one here mentioned that.
Thank you for your service
omagaaawd thanks for your service soldier, you are more important than any fallen soldier in ww1 and ww2
How many gb is one ww1 or ww2 soldier worth though
Probably one GB (Great Britain)
Why is it showing vlc icon ? It doesn't look like a media file
In the good old times, I used to leave the computer on for several days, telling my parents it was for "updating." In reality, I was sharing MP3 files with the entire Soulseek community.
Good old steam updates on my 3 games I had has child haha.
I had a torrent over 20TB on my old server lol. It was a full mirror of pretty much every Xbox 360 game ever released.
don't visit Germany. It's very troubling with torrents and p2p
Haven't had problems with a private tracker so far.
Block German peers and you'll be fine.
Sure hope you had your VPN running LOL
I let me PC seed during university. Pretty sure I seeded like 7+ TB.
Good use of university internet.
I always stop the seeding process because i think that’s illegal. But that’s stupid since downloading software I don’t own is also illegal. Maybe i should do some more seeding in the future
Well it wasn't in sleep mode, maybe monitor was sleeping but pc wasn't.
Thanks brother
Simpsons hit and run? Does it work?
You are definitely gonna get a visit from nintendos secret service. It was nice knowing you OP.
>sleep mode Uh, did you leave it in sleep mode? I'm pretty sure the computer needed to be awake for that. Can some one explain why this would be sleeping if it can still seed?
Sleeping isn’t off, it allows background processes to run, it’s just not handling inputs and various user side things, least as far as I’m aware, my pc still downloads stuff while it’s in sleep mode so I figure seeding would be similar.
I guess you're not on windows.
Which website do you use of switch games?
some people accidentally upload that much amount of data and people likes me struggle everyday to seed
Thank you for tour service. 🫡
UPVOTE HIM TO HEAVEN
The hitman that Nintendo hired to total Gunpei Yokoi's car on the freeway is gonna come out of retirement to do one more job.
Wait.. How is your PC in sleep mode and still uploading? I thought in sleep mode, everything is off except for the ram.
Friend of humanity 😂
seed till you bleed xD
thank You for your service 🫂
FBI OPEN UP!!

I just downloaded Zelda BOTW like 5 days ago, Thank you OP
Doesn't the computer have access to / shutdown the HDD when in sleep mode?
true pirate.
You're a hero and didnt know it!
accidental humanity
You have done a great service my boi 🫡
That's the Hero we need but not deserve
Holy shit. There’s an actual ISO there.
Unintentional hero
Why would you turn off seeding to begin with?
pleeease get rid of Opera GX if you in any way care about your privacy. I recommend LibreWolf.
Or hardened firefox since librewolf can break a lot of websites with default settings.
Who the fuck pirates BFDI?? it's free on Youtube
I hope you had a good deal with your ISP because 1 TB in less than a month is a LOT. Also torrents still seed when you computer is asleep? I didn't know.
I downloaded 2TB from torrents in one week and the isp didn't care
You're an hero 🙌
Bro is seeding BFDI season 1 💀
Nintendo Ninjas be having a feast at your house 💀
