  • I am keeping some torrents alive and have mad seed ratios on some of them. If it goes under five seeds and I’ve downloaded it.

    To OP, the more seeds a torrent has, the easier it is for everyone to download it, and the less each seeder has to contribute. Think of it as a sort of giving back to the community.

    Obviously, the latest episode of popular TV show doesn’t need your help, but obscure bits of media can actually die out. Or stuck at the same 40% for months.

    Since the files are just kept on everyone’s computer, if no one has that file while online, no one can download it. No central file repository.
