is ratio-less the future?

Yes, please use it to shut your mouth before you end up sticking your whole leg into it AGAIN, Eric!...

Be quiet, trader.

His title is a lie?

I see torrents as something of the past now. Usenet is my main source for everything. No ratio, no speed to worry. For $10-11 a month is more than worth it. Besides rapidshare and other file sharing paid services, Usenet will have the longest retention as well. I don't think ratio free will be the solution for torrents through. I do agree that there are so many torrents that get overseeded and many that don't get seeded. I think the best system BCG has it. Try grabbing just anout anything and you will get great speeds and also you can find very old stuff there.

that's not true.
trackers like Karagarga have a better retention than Usenet.
many reseed requests for 2-3 years old torrents are filled every weeks.

Reseeding is not the same as retention. You can request a repost on usenet and I've seen them fulfilled within days for games up to ten years old.

As far as 'no-ratio' sites go, SITR and FSC have been operating 1:1 / xxHRS / seedbonus policies for years and though SITR looks to be becoming a ghost-tracker, FSC still thrives.

Just imagine some music tracker with no ratio system... No one would care to seed older music...

[The_Martinator]

I'll have to join the people saying ratio-less is not the future.

As mentioned, it works with small, community oriented trackers, where people want to genuenly help the tracker by seeding stuff for months. At big trackers, people would stop seeding as soon as they reached the minimum seed time.

Ratio-less trackers should be dedicated to some content like movies or games for example..If u make a general 0day tracker ratio-less there will be a lot of poor-seeded torrents which will lead to nothing..So ratio-less for "secret trackers" and ratio based trackers for general 0day content..

[john pal]

I believe in no ratio tracker. I know, I'm a dreamer... In the end is almost the same sh*t. No ratio doesn't mean no rules. There are scripts that can detect cap speeds and other stuff. The problem is that people always goes in their best interest and not in the interest of the community. And unfortunately their are the biggest part of bt world users.
