You’re downloading old and/or unpopular stuff. For you to upload content someone has to be actively downloading that content (that’s how the bit torrent protocol works at the most basic level). If you choose some 5 year-old FL of a Game of Thrones pack with 7,000 seeders, that’s on you

I’m on a few private trackers, never paid a penny towards any of them, and have high ratios in all of them

It did take me a little work and spent some time seeding stuff I didn’t really want but I got there with a shitty home connection (my connection is pretty good now but I built those ratios with dog shit speeds)

You’re going from a source of an encoded x264 and reencoding (the already encoded file) as x265?? What are the results like?

Most people encode from a high quality source like a remux, rather than an encode

It’s a typo, supposed to say “private tracker”

It will depend a lot on hardware and/or software but I’d bet users would see some artefacting, ghosting, and general noise when they play your x265 file

As another comment pointed out, an encode of an encode is banned on a lot of trackers… Or at least an encode of an already pretty lossy encode (x264) won’t be allowed

Does the filesize change much?
