The problem is connecting the people who have the files with the people who want copies. I have some weird stuff I’m sure someone might want, but no way to know who.
I found a bunch of obscure movies from the 1930s and 1940s when a friend asked for some. I’m still seeding them. And I do mean obscure, not like Citizen Kane or something that everyone knows.
Wat… The lone seeder is elevated to mythical status in torrent culture. People take great lengths to preserve old content - whether that’s by seedboxing, ripping physical content, or even the more backend stuff like trackers who have entire systems devoted to “reseed requests”.
Deleting a torrent is probably the most heartbreaking thing i can imagine. My most prized possession is a ratio 1.00 torrent from 2014 that was 0.00 until 2021.
Rechecking, it is now at 2.00 which makes me unreasonably happy
Edit for more happiness: A copy of Monkey Shines (1988) that took me about 14 months to download is now at a 2913 ratio (since February)
The private tracker I use have random stuff like reality shows for Norway television, all the Olympics transmissions, and BlueRay rips of movies from the 30’s. There’s also the popular stuff, but you would be amazed by the random stuff people upload.

Oh sweet child you have a rather myopic view of the weird shit pirates find and their willingness to data hoard.
"What do you mean I should* remove data?? I might need this! " - definitely not me

I once found a bunch of the old Disney Nazi propaganda cartoons, wonder if they are still out there
I knew someone who had multiple seasons of both Mr. Rogers and Reading Rainbow!
But I also probably know someone who has Thanos and Fast and Furious.

Thank you for your service.
There’s a few 90s movie torrents I think I’m the only person left seeding. Things get forgotten about so fast.

We’re not young people, your original comment is just wrong and makes no sense. Or tells us what YOU preserve.
I don’t think he understands what a joke is
“All these dumb kids don’t get my super great jokes!”
I’m not completely wrong, it’s a joke! Isn’t it funny how I got all of my facts incorrect? Upvotes, please!
You misspelled ignominious in your username.
I know, dude. It’s an inside joke with a friend, if you care.
