Just crossed 1PB total upload, felt like bragging a bit. I'm sure others who have been at this for years and years would put my numbers to shame, but I was excited to see that 4th digit tick over! :)

20:1 is crazy! Maybe I'm just interested in niche stuff, but I struggle to keep mine in the 1:1-2:1 range :(

You are doing god's works. Torrents with few seeders are important to keep alive!

If you want to increase your ratio you can just seed something popular

That's why I keep my Arch Linux ISO up to date, according to my qbittorrent stats thats one of my most popular seeds so it helps the ratio out. Plus it's really useful to have as a rescue system for when I nuke my machine 🙃

The highest on my server is over 400:1 and it's a random romcom my wife wanted. Go figure, lol
