Download a popular movie and keep your computer on for a while 🤷♂️
Although, seeding stuff that isn't popular is also important. I don't know what you're seeding but if no one is leeching maybe there aren't a whole lot of other people seeding either. When someone does leech, they might be very happy that you're there keeping that one torrent alive.
I was suddenly nostalgic for MythBusters again, and in my acquisition I found a couple seasons that have pretty low seeders. Will gladly be a forever seeder even if one person a year leaches
There's a fanedit out there of the complete series Mythbusters with all of the flashbacks and filler removed. No more 5-minute long "before the break" segments.
Do you know the name of the fanedit? I'd like to check it out

You're doing the Lord's work, thank you for your service o7
Good trackers reward seeding old torrents
I have a Raspberry Pi with the *arr stuff and Jellyfin that's seeding 24/7. I tried looking for popular stuff on the private trackers I'm on but they always have so many seeders in comparison to leechers that I don't know if it would actually help or worsen my ratio.
You don't even have to download the whole thing. Anything downloaded will be shared with other downloaders.
