which is the most effective ratio system?
1>no ratio/freeleech 24/7
2>tough bonus points(bcg/fsc..)
3>easy bonus points(ipt...)
4>liberal ratio system (like tl/revtt/thebox/..)
5>strict ratio system (like bitme/tv...)
6>a few freeleech torrents every now and then to help the ratios is all i need




well when i joined in here good old FTN was the only one with freeleech and also every one and including ME wanted to be a part of the tracker....seems like a long time ago

i tot freeleech would be fun its not about not seeding back its more about like not worrying about the number of leechers before i would download an old torrent...most of the old movies i would want might not have leechers and i might not be able to seed back everything i downloaded ....

well after a while there opened a bunch of new trackers the fall of oink triggered everything and every one of those offered freeleech

is freeleech really an effective method to maintain a good seeder leecher ratio and also to keep the members interested in downloading from your torrent
if it is soo effective how come revtt,TL,black cats all these old well established torrent sites would have ratio system.....

i personally think may be these new torrent site must have a ratio system initially and then filter out the leechers from seeders and eventually make their torrent site ratio free like in a year or so....even "the great Demonoid" had a ratio system all tho it was more like free leech.


may be these polls might help in some way i dont know,i am trying to contribute to the trackers because i really care .

A liberal ratio system, I mean we need some order in a community. Or else it will become a jungle.
This ensures the torrents longer life span with some flexibility on the users habits.

A liberal system which would utilize both users with slow upload speeds and people with speedy connections like seedboxes.

No ratio system, only upload counts.

Must seed back a torrent for 60h after the download is finished.

strict ratio system + tough bonus system = blackcats

dont get me wrong, I LOVE that site, but i was stupid when i first started using it, and let things go before they hit 1.0, and now my account is screwed unless i re-dl a lot of the torrents, and seed them for the bonus system.

i DO have a pretty decent ratio there too, (almost > 2).

it is a solid system.

no ratio system=no seeders=no nothing

A fairly strict ratio but with a liberal bonus system so that people with slower connections aren't unfairly penalized.
Free leech on old torrents .

An evolved, intelligent ratio system, similar to the ones of FSC and STMusic (iTS and FTN's ratio systems sound promising as well). A good ratio system should realise that some people either have very slow connection, or snatch their torrents way later, so no matter how long or how hard they try, they can't seed back what they've leeched, because there are simply no leechers. Moreover, very old torrents should instantly become freeleech (usually, by that time only overseeders with very fast lines stay connected, so they can take care of the speed anyway), and bonus should be rewarded to those who stay connected for very long even with no leechers.

The most effective ratio system?


FreeSeed? Only counts the download and not the upload?
or, only counts what, 1% or 10% of the real upload?

:P

I voted for no ratio/freeleech 24/7 :-)

I like this: no ratio/freeleech 24/7

But of course that if all trackers have this, there will have no leechers............

So i think the best ratio system is no ratio + 48h of seeding like iTS or FTN, but i like the system of SITR too................

Imo, something like iTS and BCG's have. Time requirement combined with a bonus system.

24/7 freeleech without any restriction (seeding time, individual torrent ratio, etc) would be the worst system.

No ratio, but seeding time for sure... And add bonus for this - that would make people seed way more longer.

blackcats-games has the perfect ratio system. Seed untill 1:1 or after a certain amount of time seeding. Even if you don't upload anything your ratio becomes 1:1 for whatever you downloaded.

2>tough bonus points(bcg/fsc..)

Tough? It isn't tough, but I am in agreement with any system that allows you to download anything you want, and if it takes time or BW in giving back then so what, that is after all what the whole point of the scene & warez is all about - getting the stuff to your PC for you to use without having to go to the retailers and handing over cash.

A few freeleech torrents/Freeleech period

like docs.torrents.ro (the best torrent and also the largest in size are usually free leech.)


relaxed ratio system like demonoid.



oh and no pay-to-leech bullshit.

any bonus points is good thing IMO
24/7 freeleech will increase HnR , need very Strict rules with that
