Most private trackers have some sort of bonus point system now where you earn points per hour of seeding per torrent, regardless of how much data you actually upload. You can then use those points to buy upload credit and raise your ratio
There are some niche private trackers which have an active community that handle quality and requests. Also they don’t let just anyone create a torrent, so you can have assurances that the files have been vetted to some extent and you’re not going to download something unexpected.
Yeah. Normal people have about 100tb of total space. My 96tb (64tb usable) of space is completely average and not at all an indicator of something being wrong or abnormal.
Oh. I was joking. I’m aware that my storage capabilities really are an outlier, even though I still feel inadequate whenever I go to a hoarding community.
I’ve spent around 1200$ USD since I started collecting things back on 2021, which is about 300/year, or 25/month. I don’t expect to purchase anymore for another three years or so, right around when a 24tb drive drops to 150/each. It’s still not like, super cheap or anything though.
Not saying its wrong, but most people probably don’t even approach 10tb. 100tb+ is definitely not the norm. Normies balk at my 50tb, and I’m definitely on the low end of data hoarding.
Nothing “almost” about it. Retail drives are available right now at 30tb. Although, the more reasonable price/GB is at around 8tb with occasional outliers.
I have now a ratio of 9.1 and 250TB of uploaded…
Also my hard drive is getting full. I guess I have to clean up some torrents soon.
Or buy new storage
Buy more storage. Cheers. Awesome ratio.
Buy more storage, but also… join private trackers when they open signups. You’d be amazing there.
Public tracker: You are the hero, getting a 30:1 upload ratio in a mere 30 days. “Wow, this shit is easy!”
Private tracker: “Please… can this torrent even reach 10% upload? It’s been an ENTIRE YEAR! I have 500 torrents in the same state!”

They have to. It’s a requirement, or everybody would quit in protest.
I never really understood private trackers TBH or rather the reason behind them. I like the idea of publicly sharing more anyway
The advantage of private trackers is that:
There are some niche private trackers which have an active community that handle quality and requests. Also they don’t let just anyone create a torrent, so you can have assurances that the files have been vetted to some extent and you’re not going to download something unexpected.
Already there
that’s a minimum of 27TB of storage, what kind of monster is your computer?
That are only 3 hard drives.
I bought myself parts for TrueNas.
1000 where half of it was the storage.
Thats really not that big in terms of a NAS. Some crazy fuckers on reddit had literal PETABYTES of storage.
To be fair tho, those people are an extreme outlier.
Yeah. Normal people have about 100tb of total space. My 96tb (64tb usable) of space is completely average and not at all an indicator of something being wrong or abnormal.
Maybe for Americans storage falls from trees, could you share what is this normal supermarket where I can buy 100tb of total space?

HDDs are getting massive. You could almost store all that on a single drive right now.
Nothing “almost” about it. Retail drives are available right now at 30tb. Although, the more reasonable price/GB is at around 8tb with occasional outliers.
Yeah i knew they were coming but last I saw they’d only released them in the mid 20TB range and was too lazy to look it up.
coughs in 50TB
Huh?
Thank you for your service.
