I did Linux ISOs for a while, but the only ones getting my ratio up where kali and parrot. That scared me a little so i stopped (only seeded distros and didn’t use a vpn).

From my primary seedbox. This is probably my best ratio and upload total but I’m more proud of maintaining a decent ratio on higher downloads with more competitive trackers :)
Looking at my stats on a tracker, I’m almost at the peta uploaded with ~200 TiB down, so I guess a 5:1 ratio. I had no idea but now I’m going to look and screenshot this milestone once I hit the PiB!
I’m probably 90% Usenet nowadays and the rest is mostly public torrents but my monthly data usage is about 4TB down and a hair under 1TB up on average.
I need to buy more HDDs.
Usenet guy here so no real ratio, my downloads for this month so far are:
The total is since end of Feb iirc.
I think you’re the winner here mate lol, my stats are puny in comparison
I’m a regular 1:1 overall casual user. I’ve both seeded generously and leeched precariously over the years, but i can safely say i’ve given as much as i took.
I’m on Usenet, so I don’t worry about that sort of stuff.
This man seeds…
What’s a seedbox ? How can I setup one?
Seedboxes are typically a remotely hosted server in a strategically located datacentre, configured to provide users with a way to download and seed torrents more efficiently than at home.
You can rent a seedbox from a bunch of companies (monthly cost, less effort), or you can even set one up at home (one-off cost, more effort).
Here’s a list of seedbox companies to check out:
- Bytesized Hosting €14.00 / Month
- Dediseedbox $10.00 / Month
- EvoSeedbox $5.00 / Month
- Feral Hosting £10.00 / Month
- Giga-Rapid €0.99 / Month
- HostingByDesign €6.59 / Month
- RapidSeedboxes €8.00 / Month
- SonicBit $2.15 / Month
- The Seedbox €10.76 / Month
- Seedhost €6.00 / Month
- Seedit4.me €11.99 / Month
- Seedmonster $9.99 / Month
- Swizzin $15.95 / Month
- Ultra.cc €4.95 / Month
- WhatBox $15.00 / Month
- Xirvik $12.95 / Month
A bit more “home user friendly” explanation:
Basically your home PC where you download “Linux ISOs”. But because you don’t like picking everything (movies/tv shows/etc, but not pc games) manually - you want to automate it.
“Automate” is called Jellyfin/Plex and underlaying microservices, such as Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr, QBittorrent, Bazarr and so on. You want this to be available 24/7 so it automatically adds content (movies/shows) to your “wishlist”, downloads when it becomes available and automatically appears in your Jellyfin/Plex server.
This is why you usually dedicate a server for this, which runs 24/7, usually at home. And I guess you call it “seedbox”.
Some other users set up VPN on their server, configure qbittorrent to use ONLY vpn connection (to avoid getting emails from their ISPs for pirated Linux ISOs lol) and call it “seedbox”. They first torrent anything to seedbox, then they download from it to their PC. In my case it’s not needed, since everything is automated and I access all my “Linux ISOs” from Jellyfin.
Buy why do you need so many linux isos? Can’t you just pick a distro and stick with it?
I’m not super familiar with torrent seeding, but from a layman’s perspective I’m really curious–how do you use so much data? My internet provider yells at me if I go over a 1.5 terabytes, I can’t imagine streaming normally for example while also uploading, or is this over a very long period of time like decades?
Sorry if this is a silly question
Unlimited Internet is a thing now, I pay $50 a month for 5G home Internet. I’m guessing you have one of those dinosaur fiber internet where a technician has to come to your house to install internet.

In most parts of the world, home Internet has never been limited tbh. This is mostly a North American thing.
I’m guessing you have one of those dinosaur fiber internet where a technician has to come to your house to install internet
But fiber is much less likely to be limited than 4G or 5G? It’s also not affected by weather, so you don’t get random drops.
There are definitely bad ISPs out there providing capped fiber, but fiber itself is significantly superior to 5G if you want a stable and fast connection.
I used to have several outages per year with fiber internet. In the year and a half I’ve had 5G home Internet not a single outage. But you are able to get much higher speeds with fiber, so if you had some kind of business that needed like 10 gig speeds, fibers the best choice for that. But for home Internet 5G is much more superior in reliability, and fairness in pricing for the consumer.
Is 5G really that much more reliable than 4G? Because on 4G I often get spikes (of lengths between 2 seconds and several days) of low speeds, dropped packages, high latency, etc. Whereas I’ve never had an outage on fiber, nor has anyone else I know. Fiber is also not affected much by other peoples’ usage.
I think fiber being shit is very much a regional thing, and mostly Northern American. It’s the lack of competition. A good fiber service will outperform a good wireless service any day of the week. And it can be done on the cheap too, if there’s competition. Romanians get gigabit fiber for like 8 euros a month and 300 mbps is the minimum speed offered I believe. The key is that you can’t let a single ISP own the entire network in an area. Should be government-owned ideally.
5G is super fast, and wow you Romanians are lucky. But here in America ISPs are grinches who charge you 49.99 for the first year and then increase your price to $80, which is a whole 60% mark-up. So before 5G home Internet was a thing, you only had one provider in the area you lived, and this lack of competition basically allowed them to price gouge us over the years till our bill got to $220 for 100mb. 5G was truly a life saver for my families budget. And you are right about cable Internet being more performant, but 5G did introduce some very much needed competition in the telecommunications space.
I’m not Romanian actually, it was an example of what fiber can be when your government doesn’t let monopolies happen.
I’m glad 5G works for you. Here in Estonia it’s a lot more expensive than fiber and fiber itself is significantly overpriced (100 mbps being like 27 eur a month, unlimited cellular data more like 50 and that comes with no guarantees of speed or even availability).
