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…

      It always made sense to me, because when you create folders for your backups, it will always get sorted chronologically.

        Yes, that and for most databases as well, easy sorting shit no extra rules or frameworks to make it make sense to the computer.

    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".

    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.
