How long do you normally seed torrents?
1. I do the bare minimum to satisfy tracker rules
2. I seed for a long time to boost my ratio and create good buffer
3. I prefer ratioless tracker where I don't need to seed as much
4. I seed for a long time to earn bonus points
?
depend on the file i used to seed for months
I seed pretty much indefinitely. Doesn't hurt me at all.
Depend of the file, no average 1 week.

average 1 week.
I try to seed torrents with low number of seeders as long as I can. The rest, I keep until I get a decent ratio.
depends on the file for me.
I seed torrents about months 'cause I only use one tracker.
Before i used a seedbox i rarely seeded 1:1 because it was on pc i always was using. but now depending on the size of the torrent around 5/10:1
Forever untill my HDD is filled. Can't throw away these bonus points after all :tongue:
Bare minimum
Can't seem to get 1:1 on a per torrent basis so seed for points
It depends on what I'm seeding.
Unless something has no activity for several weeks, I generally seed for a month or two, if there are still downloads or if there are few seeders, I will seed longer. I try and flag torrents by priority, and then cull based on age, never less than two weeks.
I seed to earn bonus points and buffer and to fulfill requirements. I don't have a massive sized seedbox and it's 96% full right now seeding mostly 2160P movies from Framestor and Epsilon.
Usually at least for a couple of weeks, always up to tracker H&R standards. IF I have the seedbox space for it, for as long as possible to build ratio/earn points/contribute to the community.
Until it dies :d
Combination of 2 & 4.
I have an ratio setup for anything auto downloaded via RSS that seeds for 3 weeks. These items typically get rotated out and replaced.
Anything fetched manually keeps seeding until I need the room for new stuff. Smaller files that don't have much impact on disk usage or bandwidth typically stick around forever; some have been seeding constantly for years. I'll never remove anything that hasn't seeded to at least 300% or been seeding for at least 2 weeks though.
If there is still use for it I will seed for as long as it is active, so usually a long time
Depends on the rarity (how many other seeders present), if I'm the only seeder present I'll continue to seed indefinitely...
Typically ill seed have 6-700 seeding at all times usually clear out anything older than 6 months once they hit that old. I like having bonus points as buffers.Quote:

I also use P2P to backup my media collection, so keeping the swarm healthy is a high priority for me.
I seed indefinitely!
seed minimum 2 monts, until the seedbox runs out of space, then I delete 😘
