The end result are different.
BCG system will result in longer torrent life. There is no way freeleech will ever achieve that result. That to me is the biggest different.
Global freeleech over a short period of time benefit members with fast line giving them huge buffer, but for those with slow pipe they will be just a slight improvemt in the ratio.
Nope I've never viewed BCG as freeleech as your download counts. I never really like the seed point system till I took the time to understand it. It's actually a well designed system that allows it so no matter how good or bad your connection is you get credit for seeding.
In freeleech, download amount isn't supposed to be counted (that is why FTN is said to be always freeleech). However, in BCG download amount is counted. So i would say, it isn't freeleech rather a nice bonus system.
I never bothered to understand seed points system cause I never have problems seeding back at BCG.
If you can't increase your ratio over 1.0 this way it doesn't look like free leech to me.
damn only 52 votes, thought there would have been more than that.
53 right now :P
And my vote goes for "No" for the reason already stated by squirr3l.
I wouldn't call it a freeleech but it's a very fair system and I like it.
Reminds me a little of the system FSC uses with the time related ratio boost thingy.

That's because it is considered a complicated issue, look at the responses in this thread for instance and see how posters have swayed with their thoughts and opinions depending on how much they understand what it is you are offering.Quote:

And it doesn't help those with phat pipes/seedboxes, they have to get back to 1:1 regardless of the SP system, because they can.
