rutracker (ex torrents.ru) news - new non ratio suicidal system

so after some long thoughts while smoking weed, rutracker admins decided to gave up with their war with cheaters and daily new accounts registering "exploit" and changed their ratio system. now it's basically don't require you to give anything back, don't promote high speed seeding, releasing etc... first three torrents per day are "free", then you have to seed some amount of torrents to be able to leech more. size or speed of what you seed don't matter at all. partial seeding with current system brings only penalties for the new "time bonus" system.
there's a lot of protests with cutting upload speeds to 10/1 kb/s and such going on right now but staff don't have no enthusiasm to change their system to promote back uploading.. we'll see how it will turn out, "fat" torrents will suffer the first...

i can just hope that members will keep seeding the rare and exclusive torrents (vinyls rips/albums/discographies).

I don't really understand, so is the site basically freeleech now? Could you explain a little more. Thanks mate. :)

You can leech 3 torrents per day for free.

If ya need to leech more you gota pay 5 TimeBonus points per 1 torrent.

1 TimeBonus (TB) = 3 hours of seeding torrent

The amount of download torrents is limited to 100 per day...(it's the maximum 3 of them for three, 5*97 TimeBonuses)...

so yeah it's "ratio free" now until they will not think wtf they just did.
crazy stuff :D

well, I think it is a good move. You still need to seed to get TimeBonus.

Where can you find out how much time bonus you have?
