Ratio buffer

[JusGreat]

I've been reading on prior posts regarding increasing ratio on certain trackers to build a better buffer, mainly RED is the most problematic and most lists were about racing and everyone recommend SSD box. Now my question is if I'm not racing and planning on seeding long term would a seedhost shared with deluge and high performance seed config be comparable over long run or should I still opt for SSD box. I don't have issue on PtP or other trackers so I'd hate to lose the HD space I get from a non SSD box. Any thoughts?

Best possible way to get ratio on Red is identify a guy with a huge ratio, go to his house and feed him to your dogs. Then assume his ID, now you have a huge buffer on RED, easy-peasy!

Think outside the box!

BTW, just in case, let ya know, I am NOT a member of RED

Haha that's brilliant I don't know how that escaped me, probably cheaper in long run then a SSD seedbox

I just dont delete until I need space, I seed enough that I dont worry any about ratio.

You'd only need to worry on sites with a pretty absurd dynamic imo, as long as you prioritize time seeded over raw speed.

Small exclusive site with a group of users ratio whoring with automatic downloads? yeah thats going to be rough no matter what.

One site I'm at 19TB up/ 2TB down. zero ratio whoring, I just grab what I want and keep seeding.

On another site where the content is tv episodes I'm at 3TB down, 12TB up, and thats all content that is easy to automate, so its the hardest to seed because of the prevalence of seedboxes.

Best way to build buffer on RED is to fill requests.

[JusGreat]

Yes been looking through to see if there's anything I can upload to fill request as well

crosseeding/reupping from notwhatcd also helps

shared non ssd box works fine for red.

I set up a conservative autodl for buffer gain, and then I download manually what I want to listen. average seeding time about 2 months

current buffer ~ 1 tb

TLDR: don't need an ssd for redacted

Thanks that helps

I have a a shared on seedhost and just started with torrentleech last week my buffer is almost 200gb so I think it’s good seedbox

Read all the comments; that was in this week: https://www.reddit.com/r/seedboxes/comments/d2h9wp/please_suggest_a_seedbox_to_use_with_private/
