-"download-only users" as you're telling them how important it is to seed and give back after taking the resources (lemmy.nz)

I keep downloading rare shit and no one else seems to want it.

Even the popular stuff seems to only upload for a day or so.

Also, I think deluge only wants to seed five things at a time then puts everything else as “queued.”

If you were able to download the rare shit, that means somebody else was nice enough to keep seeding it. Please carry it forward.

I’m trying.

You are in a fortunate position - you can make stuff available (this is nice and generous) while hardly having to upload anything. Consider joining a private tracker that gives you credit for TIME seeded, not Gigabytes of seeded material. Then just keep the stuff you download in the download folder for a long time before moving it/deleting it.

Nice. In my experience you'll get a few hits a year, but enough rare torrents and you'll be seeding almost continuously

Keep seeding the rare shit please.

I know people go on about ratios and yadayada, but the popular stuff will always have seeders, seeding popular stuff is just helping people download quicker.

Seeding the rare shit means that torrent continues to exist.

So much stuff has been lost forever and a large part of that is torrents no longer having seeders.

You can probably set deluge settings for more than 5 torrent queued. At least qBittorent have this kind of setting.
