Every time you browse a page on the web site we record the date and time. If that date is six weeks or more in the past, your account will be deleted for inactivity regardless of how many torrents you might be using. So, if you visit the site on January 1st, you're good until February 12th. If you were going to be away for two months, you'd need to have someone browse one page while signed in as you in the middle of that time period.
This rule does not apply to users who have achieved Power User+ status or have donated. If you don't want to have to worry about your account expiring, a one-time minimum donation of £5 (5 British Pounds) will prevent it forever. Or, you could upload a minimum of 10GB of data while keeping your ratio at or above 1.05 and you'll become a Power User+. For most people it's far easier to donate.
