Re: Bring back the old ratio system to FTN
why dont you cry babies just dont login to ftn and then prolly wake up and relise that you have fucked up, getting green torrents in your history is easy even on 256k/256k depending on the size of the releases but even still up have still uploaded something and during that time you have done more than the 36 hrs or 1:1

Re: Bring back the old ratio system to FTN
No download ratio was a good move..
Re: Bring back the old ratio system to FTN
well i never knew of this rule anyways whether ratio or not as it is i dont use FTN to download anything only for seeding puposes which i got from other sites so it wont concern me much
Re: Bring back the old ratio system to FTN
Hm, FTN didn't remove ratio so you can leech your ass off and don't give back anything at all.If you're like that you don't deserve to be part of it.End of discussion.
Those warnings are just to remind users.
Re: Bring back the old ratio system to FTN
I started to write a long post but it was going off topic so I will start a new post. I Just want to say that I have 190 torrents open on my computer all waiting to get to 1:1 some dating back to April. Most are from oink which people say is hard to keep a ratio (not if you seed for a long time) There are never more than a few running at a time but they do there thing in the back ground.
Ftn has done great a great thing trying to change the mentality of torrenting. It is too bad all the reckless teenagers with large disposable incomes and fast connections work there way up the ladder and get invited there. It sickens me to see people ask for speed tests. They should ask for greed tests.

Now not only they want you to have a fast pipe , but also to have all the individual torrents in your torrent history marked with green . Yes, not the overall 1:1 ratio, but on every torrent . So if you think about getting an old torrent - don't bother , you will wait ages for someone to leech from you .
So after they showed you the generosity to give you an invite, you come straight over to FST and start moaning about them?
As far as the 1:1 thing goes, they also say you can seed it for a certain time period instead. This is because they know that it's not always possible to seed to 1:1.
To be honest mate I really can't believe you had the cheek to start this thread and slag them off on an external forum, you're just being a really shit member to be honest.

Now you sound like a sensible lass.
For me its a case of seeding until I feel that the torrent is dead. On some sites it may be a week, on others it may be months....got one that's just over 6 months.
What FTN have done here is a very brave move. I just hope that the members appreciate this as they have done it for your benefit. If you can then seed longer....36 hours is nothing really.

No - I was talking about the "asking for speed tests" side of life, wtf has a speed test (ergo a seedbox!) got to do with how good a member you are or how good a seeder you are or how good you are at not HnRing or how good you are with respecting other members views or how good you are at interacting with other members, etc, etc, etc!
Sites prefer good members over idiots who brag about how large their e-penis is and are never seen in their forums, and sites should be available to all, only when you fuck up should you never be allowed back.

Couldn't agree more the new system rocks :01:
only thing I would add is if you can't seed for 36 hours then get the fuck out...the minimum should be 1:1 or 168 hours :yup:

Re: Bring back the old ratio system to FTN
I can't believe some people with poor connections are complaining. This is an amazing system for you, you should appreciate it and share as much as you can. I agree with sear 36+ should be increased, I currently seed everything I ever download oink, bitmetv etc. until they expire and would be more than happy to do so on a tracker where i can download whatever without worrying about ratio. Download within reason of course, don't be greedy and keep as positive a ratio as you can.
Re: Bring back the old ratio system to FTN
The post made by the thread starter gets my vote for most ungrateful post.
Re: Bring back the old ratio system to FTN
FTN staffers are the best staffers around. You might think they´ve gone mad with power ( which they have every right to do :P) but they are very down to earth and just plain "normal"
Re: Bring back the old ratio system to FTN
ft.n has great staff and friendly users, my favourite community. from what I have seen so far the no ratio thing has made the site a lot more active, I still think there should be a 72hr seeding rule but I am not complaining at all :)
Re: Bring back the old ratio system to FTN
i find it hard to believe that ppl are complaing about an awesome system..... and most are complaining about seed times!!!??? man how petty and zay are you ppl... if you have bad connections then get a seedbox pure and simple.... stop whinning about that you have to seed 36+ hours.... it isn't a very big deal.... i'm pretty sure most of the ppl complaining would be bitchin a lot worse if the old system was still in place... hehe..
IMO these whinners, are very selffish, and only thinking of themselves... and most likely hit n runners... the system now, curbs that! lamo..... FTN ROCKs!!!
and i hope the staff keeps up the good work!

very well put. i mean how damn hard is it really to seed for 36 hrs anyway. i have torrents that have been seeding for nearly 2 months. these ungrateful pricks dont even deserve ftn imo
Re: Bring back the old ratio system to FTN
I have not yet read any post here.. I just like to express my opinion before sleeping.. :)
I do not know why you would not like it.. but for me, I like it, I seed for ages.. as for getting an invite, that's another story.. and in getting an invite, that is the time they will look at you history..
Perhaps, it's their tracker, If you don't want it.. no one stops you from doing things like leaving the site..
Me, I love it <3
:)
