Quick question: Have torrenter become lazy?

[tyman]

i try to be the best...its weird when some sites say no overseeding on torrents? But i do agree people have gotten lazy and greedy

[pro267]

I see people who have been at nice, top level trackers a week, and are asking for even higher trackers >> I see brand spanking new FST accounts (~1mo old) with under 50 post requesting top level trackers >> I see users saying free leech should be mandatory >> I see posts asking which trackers it is OK to hit n run at

Quick question: Have torrenters become lazy? Does loyalty and dedication exist anymore?

I suppose a lot of it has to do with lack of education of the private trackers world. For a lot of those 1mo old users FST is the first stop in the private trackers world. They usually have some experience with either other sorts of filesharing or public trackers, where HnR is the norm and it's practically a constant freeleech due to lack of enforcement. These users are simply continuing with the patterns they're accustomed to because they haven't been taught anything better yet.

Regarding users with 50 posts requesting top level trackers - some of it should be blamed on the users which are becoming greedy (human nature, I suppose), but I think some of the blame should also be put on the staff members of trackers, because their decisions regarding who to invite and who not to invite lacks clarity in many cases, and it's not always the most contributing members that are rewarded. If you've been following giveaways by top level trackers (not FSC, by the way) in the last few months, I'm sure you'll know what I mean.

So greed is the answer

Is that also the reason why new trackers pop up daily?

I say its greed. If FSC was let's say a lvl 2 tracker, you would rarely ever c any requests for it. Everyone wants something that's rare n elite

To be honest, I can't see the connection between greed and new trackers popping up.

[RoSsoNeRI]

^^ Your right but there is certainly a connection between greed n rarity

you do have a point here

i have nothing against respected member who ask for invites on FST, but i have less patience for people who ask ftn invite as first bt invite post


For the free leech people would want all the time, well this model has been doing well on FTN for a while, i believe FSC would do just fine with this system also because people care about being a member there

hit-n-run is the ultimate lazyness act and i would never condone it, unless you have a 5 gigs hard drive (who does?) what is the problem to share for a week...?

Don't generalise me... I've been here a few weeks.

I'm not lazy!!!

[RoSsoNeRI]

I don't get how hit-n-run is lazy?? It's certainly foolish but not lazy.....I mean ur not doing any physical hard work, all u have to do is just let ur BitTorrent client run, how hard is that?? The people who hit-n-run r just stupid in my opinion, not lazy.

[KFlint]

lazy because it requires a minimal effort to watch how long you have been seeding stuff in order to stop it at the right time
