And here are my qBittorrent stats. I left my computer running for 6 days, I never thought I’d get this far! But that electricity bill’s gonna sting…
It’s good to give back to the community.
EDIT: To any three-letter agencies who might be reading this post, I was uploading Linux ISOs and scientific research papers. I would never dream of uploading copyrighted material…
Good on you seeding useful stuff. Last time I had to get my ratio up on a private tracker I had to seed download 50GB and seed close to 1TB of granny porn.
I liked everyone’s faces, when they asked where I got such a good ratio, that is was all granny porn lol.

I’m Detective John Madden with the NFL, you’re under investigation.
This seems more appropriate.
First of all, thank you very much for your service.
Secondly, you’re crazy lmao
scientific research papers
When JSTOR comes knocking you are going to wish it was the MPAA instead

Sorry to hear your dreams are limited.

im at 30TB uploaded but i swapped setups last year and idk what it was at before. so 30tb 1 year
OK but wait shouldn’t that emoji be named ‘sickle and vibe’ instead of ‘hammer and vibe’?

A Raspberry Pi with an USB drive should use no more than 20W of power, if you want to further your endeavors.
Even the newest Pis use around 2W on idle (which seeding torrents basically is). I’d say the whole setup would be under 10W, or under 5W if the disk is 2.5".
Spread your seed far and wide, let it cover the Earth.
on the other end of the spectrum: I can’t even do port forwarding to seed shit
Thank you for your service.
Thank you for your service 🎖️
How does your ISP not molotov your house for this lol
Probably because the ISP is getting paid
I don’t know about your country, but in mine the download and upload of home connections are both unlimited
I might dislike my natal country for many aspects (Mexico) but oh boy, it’s unlimited home Internet connection and 0 fucks given about torrentig aren’t certainly those.
Are you talking about speed or the amount of data you can transfer? If the speed is unlimited then oh boy, gonna move to Mexico :)
I meant uncapped yeah, speeds are average, but se can get decent fiber amounts.
Vpn
That doesn’t change the fact that there’s suddenly an extra terabyte being uploaded through their pipes.
I had some fun issue with inconsistent speeds a while back so I set up a docker container to periodically run a speed test and show that on a web gui. After about a month I stopped at ~200tb of network traffic both ways, not because I got a warning, but because I scared my isp shitless with statistics clearly illustrating them that they’re not delivering the service I pay for.
A TB over the course of a week. Thats less than 200GB a day, which is like, one update to a Call of Duty game.
Again, UPLOAD not DOWNLOAD.
OP probably has symmetrical fiber so there’s little functional difference. Unless you mean the ISP would just assume that all that upload usage is due to torrenting. In that case, you’d be surprised at how much upload somebody can utilize when they actually have access to it. iCloud/google photos backups of a bunch of pictures/videos you take while you’re out suddenly occurring when you connect to your home WiFi, streaming yourself playing video games online, all kinds of stuff can cause all that usage. They can still suspect but what are they supposed to do about it?
So what he pays them for the data and they can’t see if he is doing anything illegal. Just because i am curious did you really expect them to molatile him/her. Two or three games with teir dlc is about or over 1 tb anyways.
Downloading, yeah. Uploading, no. Most ‘normal’ folks aren’t uploading terabytes of data.
Over six days, that’s about two megabytes per second, so 16mbit/sec. Residential plans are often 25 or 35 mbit/sec in the US on cable.
A similar traffic pattern might be a 4k security camera, typically 10mbit/sec, and likely over a VPN.
People work from home using vpns. That’s usually what they assume your using it for. That or a home business.
I’m in this group. I happen to do CAD modeling and have to regularly sync 10GB+ models over WAN, so large spikes or even constant uploading streams are not unusual for me.
Right, I’m not disagreeing with you there. Shit, I use a VPN for work as well. I’m not uploading terabytes of data. Downloading, maybe, but I’m not running any servers at home.
All I’m saying is that using that much upload bandwidth, regardless of what’s being uploading, might throw up some red flags at OP’s ISP. They might force OP onto a business plan.
Oh yeah, for sure. Does any ISP have unlimited upload though? I used to work for one. You’d have to go to business regardless because of the cap, from my experience.
FYI, scientific research papers are more often than not copyrighted.
Thankfully sci-hub.se exists.
Pour one out for Aaron Shwartz

I always excitedly go to Scihub or LibGen only to find that they never have the paper I am wanting. Smh
