edit 2: thank you to everyone who replied.

edit: What type of leechers are acceptable and what kind are not acceptable according to you?

It’s amazing how much I need others to validate my actions. I wish I could live guilt free without this. But, I can’t, so here I am. Good people of lemmy, judge me

I don’t have a lot of internet. I get like 1.5 GB of internet a dafy and it’s 4G, not truly 4g, more like 0.2 mbps to 4mbps at max and I don’t seed after I am done downloading my torrents. If I had greater amounts of Data, like limitless data or something like 2000GBs per month or something, I would constantly be seeding, but I don’t. Are my actions morally justifiable? I feel guilty when that last seeder seeds me all I need and when someone needs another seeder, I turn off my seeding :(

I mean, I don’t want to do it, but with the data I have, I can’t afford to seed much, what should I do?

I might take some time to reply to you, I ain’t abandoning the thread btw, is https://sh.itjust.works/ down? Just asking, I could not access it today

PS: I seed books and stuff like that. I mean, they are only like 1 or 2 mbs and I seed em when no one else is. But you know other stuff like extra legal videos series, soap operas etc etc are beyond me

      I leeched when I was on limited bandwidth now I am the sole peer for about a dozen hard to find torrents. Balance in all things.

    for every person who leeches on mobile data and can’t afford to seed, there’s someone who has a freakishly powerful rig that seeds like 17 different torrents 24 hours a day. if you can’t afford to seed, don’t worry about it, because people who can afford to seed often do. things balance out in the end
