    Different torrent clients have options for that. Most will seed indefinitely by default, but some you can set to seed just for a specific amount of time or until you upload a certain percentage of what you download.

    Are you asking about the basics of how tormenting torrenting works and how torrents are distributed? Nothing wrong with that, I just want to make sure I don’t write a wall of text, explaining something you already know.

    Edit: Spelling. Ducking autocorrect.

    Be safe. Use a good VPN for pirated content and don’t trust that what you download is what you expect it to be.

      Well I am stationed where we got a T3 connection. But I am a serial abuser of laptops. I always or have recently used Nord. I am here for another month. I just figured spread the wealth. Figured i could use the shit out of the connection and make young people get stuff they wanted like college books and stuff for free.

    If you are in the US, or any other country that has strong copyright enforcement, using a VPN is an absolute necessity. ISP’s usually have some form of 3 strikes policy for being caught downloading copyrighted material. As in, 3 strikes and your disconnected.
