no. you just need to be smart about it, though. follow the rules like ramrod said so you stay in good standing.

trim the fat...kill any torrents you aren't required to seed if your ratio is good.

honestly the site he posted that image from is ridiculously easy to maintain ratio because practically every movie has a freeleech option for a very nice 1080p rip and 2160p rip.

I use a VPN. I search on rarbg.to for movies and tv shows and download them via Utorrent. I move them to my plex folder after downloading and they are deleted from Utorrent so i never seed anything.

yea teh site i use is easy to keep a good standing. thats why my ratio is 3 in the terabyte level. but as Cad said there are free leach versions of most things. BUT....... when you examine them a 1080p movie might be 2-3 GB. but you look at the freeleach version that 1080p file might be 8-10GB. I think the people that upload those encode them in an inefficient manner to boast their seed data. So you need to watch out on the freeleach files. But you still need to seed the Free leach files for 2 weeks unless you zap them with the uploaded date or bonus points.

Like i said if you download a popular freeleach porn file, and just let it up load and let your files upload for the 2 weeks you will stay in good standing.

I have multiple files that have uploaded into the hundreds of GBs.


here is a free tip. My Saved By the bell super pack, Nip tuck s01-07, and modern marvels mega pack have all uploaded over 300GBs each over 3-4 months


ETA: also if you have caps on your data i would not do this.

teen titans (2000s version 74GB), regular show, steven universe and i'm trying to think of a few others get crazy amounts of upload love off them. i have to turn my torrents off towards the end of the month each month esp. the 'overactive' ones to make sure i don't go over my 1TB cap.

100% of my 2160p movies are shite; washed out color.

i have to assume its because they are ripped as HDR and my non-HDR 4K tv can't render the colors correctly but that's just a guess.

my server also stumbles occasionally serving 4K and the quality difference isn't enough for the hassle so i'm sticking with 1080p for now.

thats what im assuming..... but when 10 seeds are near 3-4 GBs..... then you have a free leach at 12GB. im suspect.

i have not had an issue with this. But i do have an HDR tv.

I have a 4k folder that i only allow people with Nvida shields and 4k tv access to. If it tried to stream from any other device, Plex tries to transcode it down to 1080p, and even my i7-8700k cant to it and it freezes everything up.

you want your plex server to direct play as much as it can.

one problem I don't have..

My TCL seems to work incredibly and my PLEX server was "borrowed long term" when I severed ties with an engineering firm so its a beast and I enjoy that all it does is stream video to my tv

in particular Ferdinand and the original Incredibles. How do those look for you? Do you have them in 4K?

and why are they RAR? is that really more efficient than a single file?

also i ended up with 74GB of ISO DVD images. can i turn those into plex-playable using handbrake or do i have to play 'which crippled windows app will extract the videos'?

RAR is like zipping a file up. it is just a compression.

yea you need to convert the iso to a mp4 or mkv (i try to use mkv for all my high quality stuff.


i dont have either of those in 4k...... are they true 4k? i only try to download true 4k HDR movies not upscaled.

right, but because the movie is already compressed, zipping it up only saves like 1% or less over the original filesize. just makes no sense. this isn't a text file being zipped up.

yea i know...... thats why you ned to look at the file names and learn to read them to download the particular files you want so you dont have to unzip or encode.

i try to download H265 HEVC too. better than H256
