How do y’all download tens of terabytes damn, what kind of 4k are you downloading, and for how many years, holy shit

  • How: lots of storage, good networking infrastructure, patience What: anything that was originally recorded and not just upscaled to 4K Time: my current repertoire of 127 torrents I built in five-six years

    The download isn’t just payload download, it includes the overhead. Even if you only upload, a bit of overhead is always counting towards your download. In practice, this means that the maximum possible ratio you can have is around 32 (meaning, for 32 units uploaded, there’s 1 unit of overhead downloaded). With huge upload sizes, that overhead starts to become relevant.

    I’m by no means a super user, I mostly download movies that are 1-5gb in size. Been on the same tracker since 2015 and I got 1.35TB downloaded.

    Have the popular stuff and you will be sharing. Have a look at the size of each entry and multiply by the ratio:
