I hate waiting times, i mean come on it's worthless.. say if i needed to get good ratio how would i if theres like a 6hr wait?, so it's hard to get a good ratio..
I have to agree with fearful on that one, i remember joining bitconsole back in the day just to way up my competition so to speak lol and had to wait 48 hours to download, i was like, sod that and just went elsewhere.
and like fearful says if you have to wait XX hours to actually get on the torrent, most of the leechers are already seeds these days with seedboxes and faster home connections, and usually members with a bad ratio have the wait times, but its those that need to jump on them first.
hmmm, maybe we should have wait times for fast uploaders, they already have the buffer, and i always hear people on here saying, members that download from elsewhere and help seed they hate, so this will put a stop to that.
i am joking btw (i think lol)
How about answering the question? If you think seedboxes are a net drain on your site, why don't you ban them? Else, you can limit the total upload on any one torrent to 2x the download.
At the very least, you can admit that your broken site depends on a number of users never using the upload they accumulate.
so the op hates ratios, but loves freeleech.....i guess he hates prvt trackers, or atleast how they're supposed to work...

hate: can not hit and run.
like: in most cases that rule can be violated.
The only site that uses wait time the right way is TT. when you join you can't download anything for the first 48 hours. After that download anything you want. This is to make sure the users know what to do i.e. not go on some downloading spree and dig a big hole for themselves.
