nice guide! i'd mention that it's good courtesy for your seed to leech ratio to be >=1 so you're giving back what you took. given that you're able to seed safely of course
i'd also recommend changing the reddit link to an archived version of the comment in case it gets deleted
Thanks for the tip about the archived Reddit link, I've updated it!
For the seed to leech ratio you're right, but I feel like it might be a bit much to throw at somebody who's just figuring all this stuff out. It's not a guide on how to seed safely, I don't want to encourage people to put themselves at risk who don't yet have the skills to protect themselves.
fair enough, and you do already mention the importance of seeding in one of the last paragraphs. maybe you could add a sentence like "If you decide to seed, ideally the amount you upload should be equal to or greater than the amount you have downloaded to help keep the torrent alive."
Deluge is set to 2 by default.
