Can you use emule? Usually they have very rare stuff

OP, what'cha got and where? I'm always looking for the classics.

[–] Redvenom@retrolemmy.com 27 points 6 days ago

if you can, please keep seeding your weird stuff, you are the salt of the earth single seeder

Me seeding the entire Ghibli movie collection vs me seeding Future Boy Conan.

Insane how Miyazaki is universally loved and yet so few even know about that show. It's like people loving David Lynch's films without ever having heard of Twin Peaks.

The thing with piracy is there are always so many duplicates. For every piece of media, there may be a hundred different torrents for it with varying popularity. People might be obtaining Future Boy Conan from a torrent different from the one you're seeding.

I think I have that among my torrents. 33 seeders.

Maybe you're still seeding a torrent that's no longer as popular.

A couple of months ago I downloaded a 1970/80s movie that was so obscure only private trackers had it. I am virtually the only seeder, my radio is currently 1.8 which is the highest I have. (Might not be high for others, but I just download 10yo tv shows that have soo many seeders they dont do much)

Please identify the very unique and obscure torrent your are seeding person on the internet for science!

[–] LoafedBurrito@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

About once every couple years someone downloads the rare stuff I have. It's not like some secretive movie or anything, mainly just really hard to find drumming videos or the 39 seasons of cops I downloaded that don't exist in any physical media format.

I don't even like cops anymore, but I love being the only seeder. Makes me feel good to help other people out.

Very annoying.

And they take up almost no space, so that makes it even more annoying. I make sure to keep seeding as much as possible.

Consider seeding Anna's archive torrents, you can choose how much space to donate.

Does it? I just leave it alone. About once a year I take inventory and nuke all the stuff that obviously does not need seeders.

[–] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 6 days ago

Yeah, I am noticing that when I sort by ratio the stuff at the top I mostly didn't like that much

GTAVI.6.GrandTheftAutoSix.Full.Game.leak.iso

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 days ago

I never take out my JAV from my seeds, and I love seeing the odd download here and there. I wish I could find more rare stuff in the wild because it's been years I've part of a private tracker and I don't much like the whole concept :/

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104617/

You got this?

Don't know why I got a downvote, I've been looking for this movie for decades. It's hilarious and I want it.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Hilarious? "Oxygen Starvation"?

There's no synopsis, so I don't know if the title's joking or you are.

[–] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Its about Ukrainian recruit in the Soviet Army, based on the experiences of the writer and director. About the dehumanizing nature of the military.

Hilarious is not the adjective I would use.

[–] eah@programming.dev 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I wanted to watch Well-Founded Fear (2000) on immigration in the US. As far as I can tell, you can only get it by purchase on Vimeo. $12 to rent. $150 to buy. It's too obscure to have a torrent.

[–] Semjeza@fedinsfw.app 3 points 5 days ago

Just leave it in the background and know that number trends up.

Also, shows for infants are either on trackers I don't have access to or just thoroughly under-provided through torrents.
