i wonder how much is left from the very early sharing ideals from the dawn of the internet.

do you juat take or do you offer something?

upload stuff, contribute by seeding, rip, be part of a group …?

Obvious answer is that people are sharing otherwise you’d have nothing to download :P

For me I usually permaseed, or at least seed back 5-10x if not planning to keep a download. Also have created new uploads at torrent sites and occasionally fill requests.

I always try to seed whenever I can, since I only have mobile connection

I basically seed forever, and I also upload and fill requests sometimes. I have dozens of terabytes seeding. I see it as my contribution to the preservation of the art, and if I’m going to take up the storage space with it I might as well be seeding it too.

I seed as much as I can but I still have a 0.75 ratio sadly. I tend to dl random old shit nobody wants so i’m just helping the other weirdos like me. I plan on switchi g to linux and I’d like to set up my computer to be as secure as possible and then maybe upload stuff also.

And like in the old times I bring my hdd with me and share with friends when we meet in person !
