And here are my qBittorrent stats. I left my computer running for 6 days, I never thought I'd get this far! But that electricity bill's gonna sting...

It's good to give back to the community.

EDIT: To any three-letter agencies who might be reading this post, I was uploading Linux ISOs and scientific research papers. I would never dream of uploading copyrighted material...

    A Raspberry Pi with an USB drive should use no more than 20W of power, if you want to further your endeavors.

    Good on you seeding useful stuff. Last time I had to get my ratio up on a private tracker I had to seed download 50GB and seed close to 1TB of granny porn.

    I liked everyone's faces, when they asked where I got such a good ratio, that is was all granny porn lol.

      I feel like you shouldn't be advertising online that you're uploading large quantities of pirated media? Just kinda seems like common sense? Some of you guys are very trusting lol.

      Hey, I clearly stated that I was uploading Linux ISOs and research papers! I never said anything about pirated media!

      spoiler

      In all seriousness though, in hindsight I probably should have used an alt account to post this. If my home instance becomes compromised, I could end up in hot water...
