So I recently got into a few private trackers which got me pretty excited just to notice today that my share ratio is abyssmal even though I have my qbittorrent configured to seed everything until the inactive seeding time reaches 10 days.
Now I understand I can only seed when someone wants to leech it. That is not what this is about.
As far as I noticed, the private site still considers torrents to be downloaded even when my swaparr cancels the download due to me not getting the metadata for too long. Is this correct? What would be the best course of action to prevent getting ratioed (lol) by inactive torrents?
Is it
a) remove the download from the arr but leave it in qbittorrent so that it eventually downloads and seeds it back without blocking my actual media download?
b) increase the time needed to consider the torrent inactive and remove it to more than my 45 minutes?
c) just ignore it and pray for good torrents that i can seed to increase my ratio? (this option still leaves those abandoned torrents in my HnR list though. isnt this bad?)
