Up until recently, I was limited to 12Mbps through Comcast and had no issues building ratio for the 10 years using those speeds, while also dividing that speed between multiple users remotely streaming from my Plex server.

A factor that comes to mind as someone who also runs a Plex server with friends is the importance of hard-linking vs copying files. I may be projecting my own experience from when I first started sailing the seas, but you can save a lot of storage space once you learn you can have a torrent folder AND an organized TV/movie folder(s) without doubling your media collection size!

I’m on 150 mbps and get 0.00 ratio on most torrents. The trackers own guide says to use autobrr on a decent seedbox as the only reliable way to build ratio. I think my best torrent is at around 7.0 after 2 or 3 years, all the others are under 1.0

Back in the day (pre 2018) I was 30/5 on Crapcast and could still maintain a decent ratio. Most private sites now will count the time you seed even if no one gets the file from you.
