For too long imo, piracy had become a “grab it all” environment. The old “Caring is Sharing” mantra seems to have disappeared. So maybe, this Lemmy could revert back 20-30 years to become a real sharing community. IDK.

I usually keep stuff to seed until 3.0 ratio or longer if I’m keeping the files. If it’s just taking really long and I need the drive space at 1.0 or even earlier. That should be ok right?
If you don’t have the space to be able to keep things around, that’s understandable, but less than 1.00 is considered to be leeching and is frowned upon. You’ve given back less than you’ve taken. I consider 2.00 a fair minimum, as you’ve returned twice as much as you’ve received to the ecosystem. 3.00 when and where you can is more than most will do, I think.
I just keep things seeding until I need more space, then I’ll remove things based on ratio, average upload per day, and how much I want to keep the torrent alive. For example Queen Charlotte ratio is at 81.12, I don’t really like it but since a lot of people want it I’m keeping it up. Alternatively for anime it’s mostly a ratio of 2-3 but because I know how few people actually seed anime I keep it up (doesn’t hurt that it’s only like 1 GiB per episode too). As for removals I’m probably gonna remove High On Life soon since it’s pretty heavy at 35.98 GiB and only has a ratio of 4.67 after 2 weeks.
I’ll get rid of single episode anime at the end of the season because that’s when packs will take over what people download. I’ll keep seeding packs whenever I get them though.
Ah that’s a good point, should probably be doing that.
