The Browse Page!

[slimdogp]

All the sites I use regularly I check every day.

So if a new torrent gets uploaded, and I don't jump on it the first day.. that means I don't want it, at least any time soon. Its nice to go back and search for stuff, should the need arise. But I think that many people approach sites like this, not just me.. and once they see it and pass on it once, its out of sight out of mind.

a random system new an old torrents to pop-up on the main browse page would be interesting

Bad idea because only new torrents should be at the top inorder to get new downloaders

If I've got a good ratio then I will download old torrents. If I have a crappy ratio then I won't, until I have a good ratio.

Then again, stoi, at your tracker there is a ratio requirement for each torrent. So by downloading an old torrent someone is binding into a contract that they will seed it until the cows come home. Maybe they don't think their computer will live that long.

you see this is the fucking problem. (and yes i am swearing about it because it pisses me right off)

On any other tracker out there, they will have to seed it till the cows come home, if they do not want a hit and run on that torrent.

On BCG they seed it for 3 days + say a max on a month and thats for a 25 gig 360 4 disc game, or a PS3 bluray game.

So the max you will ever have to seed any torrent is a month, and a lot more are way under that, 5-10 days usually.

but on any other tracker, you would have to seed it till the cows come home.

Not necessary mate. You see, it's psychological.

No matter what, people are less likely to dl stuff that is buried. However...

On other trackers you've got the psychological benefit of knowing that even if you seed for one year and only get .75:1 ratio that you're probably safe to purge as long as your not the only seeder and your overall ratio rocks.

At BCG, you can seed for perhaps 3 years and never hit that 1:1 ratio. People know this and it makes them wonder if their hardware will still be viable by the time someone seeds it.

Even if you allow them to leave early, they just don't want to let anyone down. Not at BCG.

Whoever thinks this, with the SP system in place, has terrible English skills.

stoi you might need to hire some translators for the SP guide if that's the case.

yeah i know i dont understand at all.

you seed a 4 gig torrent for 72 hours + 40 hours you have a 1 ratio on it. thats with no leechers at all btw.

and on BCG under 0.8 is still a hit and run so even if your .75 argument was valid, its not on BCG either.

I think you want to re-read our noobs guide to the SP FAQ just so get it, because you obviously dont.

And people wonder why i bang my head against a brick wall sometimes.

I have no trouble seeding there, even on older stuff. I dont see the big deal really.
I think it comes down to most people aren't reading the rules, and don't know that they can have 0 leechers but still get 1/1 in a reasonable amount of time.
I must admit, I'm one of those who didn't read, however, since I have no issues seeding, I feel its a non-issue with myself.

*hands a padded helmet to stoi*

I'm aware that the seed points make it ok to hit and run after only a month or two. However, I'm looking at this...

[stoi]

a month or 2, i honestly do not know where you are getting your numbers from lol

i just said a 4 gig torrent with no leechers will take you 112 hours, with leechers a lot less, and that includes how long it takes you to download it.

112 hours = 4 1/2 days of seeding.

that to me does not equate to a month or 2. lol

well your ratio on that torrent is 1.7 you dont get SP after you get to 1.0

so your point is?

I'm aware that the seed points make it ok to hit and run after only a month or two. However, I'm looking at this...

That means that you can benefit the SP system because you have more than 1.00 ratio on that torrent .. SP only works with the torrents were you have the lowest ratio...
