Can someone explain FTN's ratio system (or lackthereof) in full detail?

With the ratio system like FTN and other site, it would encourage more people to use the site. I think it would do more good than harm esp. with some kinds of incentive bonus system in place.

Lol. For some strange reason i was thinking 72 hours in my mind. Thanks for pointing that out to me.:lol:

It used to be 72hrs before but have changed to 36hrs for a long while now.

and they disabled invites 2 weeks ago or so and I dont think they will be back any time soon..

u are wrong in overall u can download as much as u want as long u seed for 36 hours and there is no shity list or something like that...and 36 hours isnt much at all,many sites have rule for 72 hours so i think its not hard at all and u have freeleech for ever

It's something worth considering.

I guess it's fair enough. Also correct me if I'm wrong but there are sites where strict rules are in effect against overseeding. I can't recall which, but SCT might well be one of them. It is really hard to compete with GB - seedboxes. It's like fighting a lion with bare hands.

I think iPlay is one of them doesn't like overseeding.

example a file with 700mb and you seed it 1:50 = 35GB

This is overseeding

Damn maybe i shouldn't overseed then? I don't use a seedbox though, just my shitty isp providers speed (Even though it's shitty, i'm still fortunate to have access through them to the internet).

TBH here...if you arent in FTN, then there is really no need for you to be concerned with its interal affairs.

I think that goes for any site btw.
