I know people go on about ratios and yadayada, but the popular stuff will always have seeders, seeding popular stuff is just helping people download quicker.
Seeding the rare shit means that torrent continues to exist.
So much stuff has been lost forever and a large part of that is torrents no longer having seeders.
You are in a fortunate position - you can make stuff available (this is nice and generous) while hardly having to upload anything. Consider joining a private tracker that gives you credit for TIME seeded, not Gigabytes of seeded material. Then just keep the stuff you download in the download folder for a long time before moving it/deleting it.
I use seedpool - it’s the only private tracker I use and I only use it for the stuff I cannot get elsewhere. It has a convoluted up/down/time ratio and minimum seed time limit of ten days which is easy to stick to. They do freeleach periods and some content is not ratiod at different times - people are committed to it, and the quality is good (descriptions and subtitles are always accurate and in sync), but I don’t really understand it (and am not prepared to spend any more time reading the user guides and forum as it all makes very little sense to me). I seem to have got a good ratio / allowance by seeding for longer periods without actually uploading very much - I do not really understand how or why. It seems to have loads of massive files for films (like 60Gb remuxes) which is a bit of a waste IMO - I avoid these so I am never using hundreds of GB of my storage seeding.
I keep downloading rare shit and no one else seems to want it.
Even the popular stuff seems to only upload for a day or so.
Also, I think deluge only wants to seed five things at a time then puts everything else as “queued.”
You can probably set deluge settings for more than 5 torrent queued. At least qBittorent have this kind of setting.
Keep seeding the rare shit please.

If you were able to download the rare shit, that means somebody else was nice enough to keep seeding it. Please carry it forward.
I’m trying.
Nice. In my experience you’ll get a few hits a year, but enough rare torrents and you’ll be seeding almost continuously

There’s trackers that do that? Which ones? I’ve avoided private trackers for specifically this reason.
