A few days ago I download a movie but the movie was in another language and I’m definitely not going to watch it because of that, I still completed the 1:1 ratio because at the end of the day I downloaded the file and used other people’s bandwidth, but what is one supposed to do in this situation?
I mean, with a 3gb movie it doesn’t matter, 3gb is nothing and I’m sure there are those who download stuff just to seed it even though they will never use it or watch it, but something that happens to me very often is that as a Linux user I download a game (let’s say FH6) and I download the Steamrip version but it doesn’t work and then I find out that the Empress version does work (don’t ask me why because it was Empress who made the crack) and now we are not talking about 3gb, we are talking about 200gb which is a considerable space for my PC, even if I have 1TB of SSD 200GB is enough and depending on the time it takes to get to the ratio 1: 1 can be worse.
Edit: Thanks for all those answers!
I go ahead and download the right one immediately. Then I make sure I’m seeding to a ratio of 1 or at least past the minimum seed time for the tracker. And as long as there are a few seeders, delete.
