Why limit seeding unless you’re on a metered connection?

[-] psudo@beehaw.org 14 points 6 months ago

Because I have limited space.

Seeding doesn't take up more space, unless you were planning to delete the thing, which doesn't make much sense.

In my case - of course it takes up space that would otherwise be free. I only get what I immediately use and I mostly don't need it anymore directly afterwards. If I'd only seed as long as I need the file I would never reach a ratio of 1, let alone 2. So yeah, a ratio of 2 leaves enough space for me to work with, while giving back double then what I took. I don't see the problem.

Why not? You keep every film every episode every-thing you consume?

[-] dessalines@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 months ago

Of course, why not? Hard drive space is cheap.

Seeding doesn’t take up space, as long as it’s on your disk you should seed it.
