      I did Linux ISOs for a while, but the only ones getting my ratio up where kali and parrot. That scared me a little so i stopped (only seeded distros and didn’t use a vpn).

        I’m guessing the most common distros have regular people seeding a lot just on their PC in the background. Like me. Get your EndeavourOS while it’s hot people!

    my ratio is sitting at 0.47 and is unlikely to budge with rural Australian internet speeds if I download anything ever.

    of course this is a fresh install and I’ve never paid any attention to seeding before

    I’m not super familiar with torrent seeding, but from a layman’s perspective I’m really curious–how do you use so much data? My internet provider yells at me if I go over a 1.5 terabytes, I can’t imagine streaming normally for example while also uploading, or is this over a very long period of time like decades?

    Sorry if this is a silly question

      Unlimited Internet is a thing now, I pay $50 a month for 5G home Internet. I’m guessing you have one of those dinosaur fiber internet where a technician has to come to your house to install internet.

        In most parts of the world, home Internet has never been limited tbh. This is mostly a North American thing.

        I’m guessing you have one of those dinosaur fiber internet where a technician has to come to your house to install internet

        But fiber is much less likely to be limited than 4G or 5G? It’s also not affected by weather, so you don’t get random drops.

        There are definitely bad ISPs out there providing capped fiber, but fiber itself is significantly superior to 5G if you want a stable and fast connection.

          I used to have several outages per year with fiber internet. In the year and a half I’ve had 5G home Internet not a single outage. But you are able to get much higher speeds with fiber, so if you had some kind of business that needed like 10 gig speeds, fibers the best choice for that. But for home Internet 5G is much more superior in reliability, and fairness in pricing for the consumer.

            Is 5G really that much more reliable than 4G? Because on 4G I often get spikes (of lengths between 2 seconds and several days) of low speeds, dropped packages, high latency, etc. Whereas I’ve never had an outage on fiber, nor has anyone else I know. Fiber is also not affected much by other peoples’ usage.

            I think fiber being shit is very much a regional thing, and mostly Northern American. It’s the lack of competition. A good fiber service will outperform a good wireless service any day of the week. And it can be done on the cheap too, if there’s competition. Romanians get gigabit fiber for like 8 euros a month and 300 mbps is the minimum speed offered I believe. The key is that you can’t let a single ISP own the entire network in an area. Should be government-owned ideally.

              5G is super fast, and wow you Romanians are lucky. But here in America ISPs are grinches who charge you 49.99 for the first year and then increase your price to $80, which is a whole 60% mark-up. So before 5G home Internet was a thing, you only had one provider in the area you lived, and this lack of competition basically allowed them to price gouge us over the years till our bill got to $220 for 100mb. 5G was truly a life saver for my families budget. And you are right about cable Internet being more performant, but 5G did introduce some very much needed competition in the telecommunications space.

        I have what is available in my neighborhood, I do believe it’s “dinosaur fiber optic” lines. And I haven’t heard of a 5g connection without data caps where I live either (USA). At least not at any price point I can afford, certainly not 50$!

        I have heard most other countries get way better internet than USA, though. But where I live it’s Xfinity, century link, satellite Internet, or through a cell phone plan and they’re all capped and leave some to be desired speed wise. I don’t even live in the sticks or anything!

          Im in the U.S as well, T-Mobile with unlimited 5G home Internet is $50 a month with no commitment. I’ve used hundreds of GB’s per month with 0 cap or slow downs.

              It uses a cellular connection for your home internet, so it’s limited to whatever the speed of T-Mobile 5G is near you, and unless you live in an area of perfect reception it probably won’t be great for streaming.

      Telia internet, Lithuania. 19,90€ per month, unlimited.

      940mbps down & 580mbps up. Unlimited internet, fiber. Telia is known as trusted company that does not care about torrents and most importantly - never throttles or provides lower speeds. This ISP delivers what is promised. <3

      Also it’s Jellyfin&friends (radarr/sonarr stuff), so it’s all automated. Nearly 40TB of storage in raid5 and automatically downloads movies and some tv shows. And in 4k:) sometimes 100gb per movie.

    I’m probably 90% Usenet nowadays and the rest is mostly public torrents but my monthly data usage is about 4TB down and a hair under 1TB up on average.

    I need to buy more HDDs.
