how important is retention to you?

alot of people say content and speeds are important....even pretimes. but how important is retention. some trackers get rid of torrents very quickly some will keep them for a good amount of time as long as somebody is seeding it. this is one of the key factors for me when deciding how i really feel about a tracker

Retention is pretty important as well. I think content with healthy amounts of seeders takes the cake for me though.

Which is why giganews rocks!

201 days and counting :D

Yea I may join them. I like the nzb content I been seeing as of late.

Retention means nothing to me. I don't grab anything that isn't fresh and I don't really think it is that cool to have X number of torrents with almost no action.

there are alot of games i decide i want to try long after they are released. finding a site that has them at a decent speed is a godsend...otherwise i have to rapidshare them

on everything but 0day sites I'd say retention is very important, unless the request system/community is good. then it doesn't really matter...

Yep, retention is a huge thing for me. I usually grab more older shit than new. Pretimes and speed is also very important, but that's all a lot of sites care about.

and i meant community as in people going out of their way to upload something for you, not as in an 'elite members' tracker, ie those 2 newish level 5's :rolleyes:

I think it depends on the type of the content

for movie it's important but for softwares it's not
