P2L sucks....
btw, TL has site seedboxes? all of their stuff is uploaded by members, not by site boxes like SCC or ST
Yeah, well. If you're being hard on P2L sites, then pretty much every tracker that gives some upload buffer to donators falls into the same category. In the end TL is probably a lot cheaper too, because a monthly 6-8 Euros won't get you far at most other trackers with a donation bonus system.
If you don't have access to a good internet uplink or aren't in the lucky position to host servers cheap/for free, each tracker will have to face donations sooner or later. They are a necessary evil for a private community that can't be supported by advertising. In my opinion donations are probably inconsequent in the grand scheme of things, because what are a few hundred dollars/euros compared to several terabytes of transfers?
Maybe there are some owners who aspire to make money with their private trackers, that I don't know about. I don't believe that it is working for many and even then the expected amounts are likely to be small in most cases.
