How to get me to stop seeding your torrent
(After the hit n run period is over)
I'm kind of a dedicated perma-seeder unless something has a ton of seeds otherwise, but it's time someone called out dumb file naming.
I am right now deleting your uploads from my torrent client:
If your file is called [your.release.group].name.of.film/show
(I'm looking at you, McPwned. Also WATCHABLE)
If your tv show season file is called "Season 1" or "series 1" or god forbid, just "series" .. or god absolutely help you here, "episodes"
If your tv show episode (stand alone torrent) is called "episode X" without the title of the show
If your episode file is called just "Pilot"
If your collection of a director's early work is just called "shorts" or "mini docs" (no director name) or your dvd extras are just called "special features"
If your live music show episode is called "11-12-1078 [guest stars]"
If the title is misspelled
If the title *starts* with a number, is abbreviated painfully / one word excerpt from the title, is just the episode title without context, is an acronym I can't figure out, starts with a #, etc etc
Please friends, name your files something reasonable, like the name of the show (+ the season/episode) or the name of the film. Take a second to double check everything. If your release group name or some other info ("director's cut", "unsold pilot," "NY cast" < examples of helpful stuff!) has to go in the file name, be a dear and stick it toward the end.
Smooches.
EDIT: I really hit a nerve here! I guess we really need to name our torrents "show" and then call people entitled for wanting the show name in them. 👍🏼
Don't have an aneurysm, anybody
