That would seem to be the magical question , stop do not pass go . Problem seems to be between the site and the key board ? ;) How do you get banned if seeding and keeping a fair ratio ?

i dont have acc there yet, but i dont think its too hard to seed there with 12k of members. or im wrong?No. It's hard to seed there because half the members have seedboxes which can literally download a gig in about 2 minutes and upload at the same speed. That means for poor people like me with a 8mb/374k connection a good ratio is hard to maintain.


For the record I didn't do anything there to get banned. It just happened.

If that happened, maybe ScT staff (or tracker's script) ping your PC to know your speed and if it too slow, they disable your account (?)

That almost one month free leech double upload didnt help you one bit? Cmon, i just have a regular home cable connection and i still got a 4.0 ratio after that.

What were the reasons, i am sure you tried to ask?How do I do that? I asked coolguy but he hasn't responded in about 4 days now. I'd really appreciate it if someone could tell me how I could talk to an admin/mod.

Don't feel bad. Some trackers just suck like that.

I gave OinK a kick to the curb a few months ago. I got tired of seeding certain albums for months at a time in a futile attempt to get a 1:1 ration. It was just more trouble than it was worth.

Yeah oink can be hard to deal with sometimes. I think the only way to keep good ratio there is to have an up speed atleast more than 100KB/s.

Yeah, its is hard to maintain ratio 1.0 with 384kbps up speed unless u have received free upload credit or double up.
But there are a loooot of 0 day trackers these days.
Recently I am so impressed with 2 both sites ( SCP, RevTT ) :w00t:

By the way, is SCT pre time faster than SCP or RevTT? If it is, how fast?

RevTT is miles behind as far as scene releases go.

ScP is also slower than sct for the most part (though I don't expect it to stay that way) but I heard that some 24 scene episodes were uploaded faster on scp than sct.:w00t:

ScT is generally pretty good with the pre's, sometimes FTN is faster. Here is one file for comparison. I know you can't really get a sense of a site from just one file, but this is merely an example between ScT/ScP/FTNfor one file.

Not realy no site is faster it depends which uploaders are around , if uploaders were around when everything pre'd then it would be fun to see who is truly the fastest. But that'll never happen so for now nobody is right and ever will be.

Yeah uploaders have i life too. I think :lol: Just kidding but seriously FTN and scT are generally the best atm. CT is another one with releases faster than even scT in some cases.

I have that kind of up speed and still have ratio probs there unless I really try either a) not to download at all...b) to find some really out of the way cds I own and rip and up c) wait for their once in a while free leach and grab as much as I can and seed like crazy for ages afterwards.

It takes a lot of management.
