SuperTorrents
Learnbits
x264
AL
dididave
Bit-HDTV
Full contact zone
Scenelinks
FTN

You receive 0.5 points for every hour the system registers you as a seeder. Even if you are not uploading anything (like when there's no leechers), as long as you're seeding, you get points. These points add up over time.

You can then trade these points for invites or upload bonuses. For example, if I have 75 points, I can trade them in for 1 gb of upload; 250 points for 5 gb of upload. It's a great bonus.

Seems like that system can easily be abused. For instance you have 10 torrents opened for seeding but set your max upload rate at 5kb/s. Your getting the points but not uploading anything even when there are leechers...

Yeah there will always be douchebags out there that do those kinds of things there is no getting around it.

this system really doesn't encourage one to seed. I've been seeding the same six torrents at learnbits for a week or two now. my upload is set to max but there are no leechers, so i'm just sitting there, accruing a ton of bonus points... currently sitting on a ratio of 5.143...

problem is, at this point I can pretty much get away without doing any seeding, if need be. I could probably download consistently and never catch up to the bonuses.

good system for the users, bad system overall for the site. it's just BEGGING to be abused.

Some sites base your bonus on your upload speed. So if you cap your upload then less bonus....much fairer system.

But on some of the smaller sites, who want to stay small and elite, there are fewer leeches and the bonus system is needed there to entice people into downloading. Swings and roundabouts really!

supertorrents

is quite a new site but bonus system is flawed

[deuce6000]

I talked to admin at supertorrents and if you are seeding and there are no leechers you dont get as many points as when you are actually uploading kbs.Which is good to know.

Different kind of bonus seeding... if you've leeched a torrent that's already played out and has a more than 20:1 ratio of seeds to leeches, you automatically get .5G/day credit towards both the torrent and your overall ratio. :)
