Don't like their point system. You get charged points each time you download a torrent. Other then that it's almost a perfect replica of Demonoid which makes me wonder if their involved with this site.

Yea the icon is too big as well. You'll dread their point system though. The advantage is that it will boost the forum community. Maybe over time it won't be such a bad thing at all.

True but the big red icon is still ugly. I think their someone how involved though. Even the seed to leech ratio looks healthy.

Looking like is not being like. Demonoid's content was the best ever. Millions of torrents. Thanks for the share, but so far it's a wannabe tracker with 5000 torrents.

Your right:D The new icon won't sway from the site though. I am getting some old chills though. Thats a good thing though.:P

Yea it will need time. Demonoid was around for like 3 or 4 years i think.

was gonna say the same thing, give it a few weeks... Content seem to be added quite steadily as it is...

And while you may dislike their pts system... I think they just want people to upload torrents to build up their database. They probably will get rid of it once they have alot of torrents available.

Yea i actually retract my earlier statements. I no longer see it as a bad thing. It did take about 20 minutes for me to process that though:)

Hi, im the owner of torrentstorage.com I noticed this board was generating hits to my site, so i decided to check it out and see what was going on over here at filesharingtalking
Nice site by the way Admin
Just figured i would quote a post or two in this thread to fill thinking minds
The site has been up and running for about 100 days. I saw that someone asked that question in this thread somewhere
anyhow here you go

This system was added to cut back on the leechers- Hit and runners as i call them.
Seems to be doing to trick too

When was a demon ever purdy?? That wasn't the look i was going for. If i wanted that i would have added amanda pete as the "icon"

A wanna be tracker?? Not sure what that means. Please DEFINE

to be honest the only reason why i joined was because it looked similar to Demonoid and it helps me remember how good Demonoid was :) Hope it gets as good as Demonoid in the future

PS: Fix the damn red demon ..looks terrible to be honest ;)

The demon is ugly, but your right. It needs some improvement but i think it's gonna be a huge tracker in the near future.

Has a demonoidish look to it. I think if more ex demonoid members saw this site they would flock to it and eventually bring back the demonoid we all remember just as a different name.
This will be a site I'll keep my eyes on.

I don't see how anybody would say the points system is a bad thing. Unless you have a major fixation on downloading hundreds of torrents daily, you should be fine. You get an amount between 25-75 points PER TORRENT seeded several times a day.

Thanks, I'll check it out...

They seem to have a pretty healthy content of PC Games


EDIT: Actually all of their games (PC & Consoles) are mixed together...

You get an amount between 25-75 points PER TORRENT seeded several times a day.Not checked out their system to any greater degree. But pretty much all point systems has the same flaw, it does not benefit those who actually seed.

What happens in a point system is that users will seed 20 or so torrent but cap their upload to 1kB/s, hence they get calculated as seeding without actually doing anything useful.

With a normal rating system, you KNOW (apart from cheating) that a user with a decent ratio has contributed and done something useful. He has at least contributed as much as he has taken.

Hence, a point system is in my opinion a seriously flawed mechanic, which is why most people resent it. It will also attract people with an extremely slow upload, who cannot manage on a normal ratio site which makes it even slower to download. Which is too bad, it looked like the site had some potential.

I'd like a demonoid replacement.. but I don't really like the looks of this one.

especially with the point system.

Ratio applies as well. If a user was to set a slow upload limit the ratio system would take effect
users that dont maintain a ratio over 0.50 will have their account terminated
It the users account is under 0.50 for more than 5 days the system disables their account.
It wouldn't matter if they had 50000000000 points
With both systems it makes it hard for hit and runnings to stick around.
users must be willing to share or they wont last long
