This has been asked before, obviously, but I haven’t really seen it in the specific context for my situation.

I pay for a seedbox and have used up more than half of the space with files I’ve downloaded and have continued to seed. A mix of public trackers and private ones. I usually only delete something I’m seeding if it’s been a few months and there’s a lot of people contributing to it, mostly to keep space for the things I like.

The problem: I’m running very low on space and it looks like I’m the only one seeding some things (there’s a 0 under seeds, so that’s just my assumption). There’s also some big files (20+gb) that don’t have a lot of other people seeding them. My ratio for some of these things is really good, but some it’s basically nonexistent because no one else is downloading it.

Obviously, I’m going to have to give up some of these at some point because paying for more storage isn’t an option (I’m actually trying to downgrade if I can) and if no one wants these things, there are other things I could devote that space to instead right?

So basically, for perspective, when do you personally decide that it’s time to let a torrent go?

For more context, the most seeds one of my files has is 16 and my highest ratio is ~60.9. These are two different files.
