Nightly. The heck you guys doin that it needs to be on when you sleep?
Torrenting?
If it's taking that long, I find a new torrent with better seeds.
Sometimes there are no better seeders. I'm currently downloading a 150GB torrent file and there is literally 1 seeder that isn't always online. And I get like 100 kbits/s from them.
It's been a few months of runniny may torrent client almost 24/7, but it's currently at 99.81%
And I thought I had it rough lmao
May I ask what this is?
I seed torrents
Like... Forever and not just to keep a 1:1 ratio? :O
It doesn't cost much to provide this first '1' to someone else. It's kinda nice to share a thing you yourself like, even if indirectly, especially if you happens to be the only seeder. I purposedly left my PC a couple of times when I saw that and that peer is hanging wirh an incomplete download.
Also, real-debrid
He is clearly talking about seeding Linux ISOs.
Oh ok than its fine.
Downloading an piracy are valid explainations for extended uptime, so it's totally on topic.
It's not up to you to decide that. So no.
Someone asked why one would leave their PC on overnight. I answered with a use case relevant to me and a lot of other people. I'd say it's on topic. What rule did I break?
Check your actual uptime in the system, because oftentimes just because your computer has visibly shut down, doesn't mean that the system has actually shut down. Oftentimes it just goes into hibernation instead, Which doesn't reset your uptime.
Edit: before you down vote me, have some extra context. Microsoft changed the default behavior for Windows 10 and 11, when you click shut down in your start menu It will do this deep hibernation instead of actually shutting down. They save state your operating system effectively, and then shut down, and then when it boots back up it restores that save state. They've done this in an attempt to speed up boot times for most people. All of your things that run on first boot don't actually have to rerun if you're not booting all the way from scratch. If you're just restoring the state from before the shutdown, it's like you never shut down at all. This means that your uptime often doesn't get reset unless you actually do a restart.
My PC only goes into hibernation if I select hibernation/sleep. If I select shut down it turns all the way off. I know because in sleep or hibernate, it leaves all my RGB on, as well as the lights in my mouse and keyboard which is the main reason I shut down instead of put it to sleep; I don't need the electric light show while I am tryna sleep.
The reason why I suggested still checking up time is because sleep and hibernation are different. In sleep. Yes, your RGB would stay on. In hibernation the power to the device is completely shut down but the state of your computer is saved to disk and restored when you power it back on. With some computers you can even completely unplug the power from the device and plug it back in and when you boot it back up you would still resume without resetting uptime.
This is the new default behavior in Windows 10 and 11 when you hit shut down. With Windows default behavior right now they've basically replaced shut down with. Your uptime only actually gets reset when you restart, not when you shut down and then power on later.
