Don't be a douche. There is some one of a kind stuff out there that's worth waiting for. I'm on private trackers, the usenet, real debrid, and a few even more secret places, and I still have a few dozen ancient torrents that I'm waiting for an elusive seed to pop up.
>>1378938 nta but I'd do the same shit if the music was lost media everywhere else. I'm still trying to collect the entire discography of a band I like because they released all their EPs at select concerts only and no one has uploaded any copies to the internet so I have to wait around on buyee to see if some jap will sell what I'm looking for.
This. The stuff I leave running forever is lost media, possibly the last remaining copy anywhere. It's no skin off my nose to let it sit and wait. It's like anxiously awaiting a pterodactyl to fly over me, there's an exciting anticipation to wait for something that might go extinct if I don't grab it as soon as I see it. Waiting for a sleeping torrent to show up is more likely than a pterodactyl, and less fatal.
