But fortunately i've found a lot of great trackers, too.

But fortunately i've found a lot of great trackers, too.
But m8s, I'm talking about music trackers, comparing Pedro's with What/Waffles, bc I use all 3 and the differences between the first and the 2 others is remarkable (in my case, dunno about yours).
I know this is somewhat off topic, but let me tell you why I disagree:
I don't see like this... don't need to have ratio system to stimulate seeders. IMO, seedhours or bonus points (like HDBits) work much better than ratio. If there is no ratio, then must seed each torrent completed for at least 48 or 72 hs, or whatever... or can also be 2 mutually exclusive options: seed 1:1 or until 72 hs after download, which option you get first. In this case, who has slow connection is not affected, even if he/she is unable to seed 1:1.
Exemplifying my reasoning: ATM, i have 50 Pedro's, 58 waffles' and 28 what's torrents in my client, but only 6/136 are active and they are pedro's torrents... This scenario will be repeated day after day, within a few days I will have a good buffer in Pedro's and pathetic buffer in What/Waffles. However, they all became available during the same time on the client and if i receive points for each seedhour per torrent my efforts would be rewarded, and I was able to leech more and more
But i can't leech in What/Waffles bc to keep a good ratio there is a pain in the ass.
OK, Pedro's is not the fastest tracker in the world, sometimes is really slow, but i don't care, if i want a torrent i get it, bc i'm sure that can seed back 1:1 and won't hurt my ratio.
I have a 70 kbps up connection, no big deal, but it's not bad for my country standards, and can keep good ratio in my trackers w/o much effort, but i can't compete w/ what/waffles high speed users... that's a fact. So, to avoid hurting my ratio, my options are upload my own stuff and patiently waiting for freeleech time. That's life...
I don't think that is so simple... tell me something: which the use of seeders if has no leechers?Originally Posted by cinephilia
PS: guys not look at my bad English, google translation helped me quite
i meant to say that the main problem of ratioless trackers is the lack of seeders on old torrents since many users don't care about 'long-time-seeding' if no ratio restrictions don't incite them to do so.
np, you're pretty understandable.

whenever people agree with me, i always feel i must be wrong.
No Ratio is tough to implement (you need good and trusted members) but if you do implement it right, it makes the tracker a lot better I think.
