Hello everyone. Most of us here agree that BCG is the best gaming site on the net. It goes without saying that their SP system is truly unique and what it's done is that a user can dl ANY torrent without having the fear of messing up their ratio and thereby getting banned.
Could major sites such waffles,what,bitmetv,KG or upcoming sites(excluding ratiofree sites) adopt such a system? Waffles is incredibly hard to seed on, should it really be so hard to grab a file and never be able to seed it back?
The one argument I've heard very often against this is that it reduces the incentive to upload. To that I have to point to BCG, users there haven't stopped uploading have they? I feel that users should upload if it would benefit the receiver or just for the fun of sharing and not just to get a big ratio. Demonoid is another example of people wanting to share for fun or the appreciation they would get when someone would benefit from it.
I suspect SP also eliminates hit n runs. Seed for the allotted time and you're done and if someone else needs the file and there's only one seed you can reseed it. There's really no need to hit n run if you're in it for sharing( probably still happens though).
SP also gives users with mediocre connections an opportunity to maintain a decent ratio amongst seedboxers.The speeds at BCG are great and so I don't think speed is such a big pitfall here to not implement SP.
So,could this model be adopted more often in the future? What do you guys think?
