<![CDATA[Is flexget worth it?]]>I loved flexget with the RSS reader until it straight up destroyed my ratio to the point of demotion.

If you aren't aware of flexget, its a nifty RSS enclosure downloader written in python:  https://flexget.com/
Why should this matter?  Well, only to Power Users:  https://www.gaytor.rent/getrss.php
I have it set up as a daemon on Windows 10.  Here's my yaml (sensitive info omitted):  https://pastebin.com/KXSr8Qve
and here are your instructions for windows service: flexget_headless.exe -L debug daemon start (every 7 days)

So is it worth it to run a seedbox like this?  Well, either my speeds are configured incorrectly, or…yeah.  Avg dload:  ~800 MB/day, avg. uload:  ~700 MB/day, giving me a lovely n00b ratio of 0.94 and auto-demoting me off of power user.  My ratio takes the piss on this one.

I am not ratio begging but this brings the question are seedboxes worth it for your ratio? I've left this thing running two weeks now.  I do have it performing a cleanup every 7 days (limited SSD space).  Think I should extend that?  But I'm used to torrents going dead after a week.

What settings would you recommend that would bring it up? I got all my downloads paused in favor of my seeds right now and on super seeding mode.  Ratio recovery sucks, and there's no freeleech category on the RSS.

They generally tend to have much faster speeds than a conventional residential internet connection, and they can leave your torrents seeding, even when you turn your computer off, or in my case, when the internet drops because it's getting stormy outside and the VPN doesn't want to play nice with my MLPPP setup.

Also, due to the nature of the speeds of seedboxes, it can be a great way to boost your ratio in a hurry.
