Re: FTN : before and after the ratio system
I'm not a member of FTN, but I hope you'll permit my input. I got into the habit of seeding old files for long periods on Demonoid. My wife would ask me if I might find some old forgotten movie or musical selection she had enjoyed as a kid. I could usually find it on Demonoid, and even if it had been uploaded years before, there were often at least 1 or 2 seeders. I would then seed it until I had to make space on my hard drives. Even though Demonoid tracked ratios, they never enforced them, which is a bit similar in some ways to FTN. I still have a lot of their 5.1 surround music files ready to seed upon its resurrection. It's easy to keep most files on perma-seed as there is seldom any download activity. Right now, for example, I've got 138 files set for seeding, but only 3 are actively seeding. My office, which has a higher upload speed static IP, has even more files seeding at all times. I understand that FTN has a very supportive and cooperative membership, so I imagine there are many who feel as I do and would be surprised to learn that dropping the ratio requirement had a significant adverse impact on old file availability.

They have a system that you have too seed atleast 1:1 or have the torrent for 72 hours. I think that is right.

Some people don't need to be forced to seed, they share because they want to.:happy:

Sure.
The P2P spirit is pretty strong in some BT/eMule/Whatever communities.
Re: FTN : before and after the ratio system
Besides the spirit of sharing, you also build up your ratio as well.
