1: You got banned i dont know why, neither do i care, you got back in, whatever, I just hope for your referees sake, you dont get caught and banned again.
2: Regarding SP.
It is there to help members like that, Slow speeds, No Leechers.
But what would you rather have, we still have the hit and run policy, but no SP, I know that i can download a torrent on BCG that is 2 years old, and within a week of seeding, i can have a 1 ratio on the torrent, even if no leechers come onto it in the next 2 years.
The whole idea is, members are not scared to download any torrent on the site, because as long as you are a seed, we give you the 1.
Now lets take a site with just global ratio, you download a torrent that is 2 years old, you have no chance of seeding it back, so you either Hit and run it, which does not help the life of the torrent or your ratio, because you still take the hit, regardless of your buffer, or you have to sit on the torrent for months to see a leech, to upload something on that torrent.
and the 20:1 is there, so if you are on a torrent with less that 20 seeds to 1 leecher, you upload to get the leecher, to become a seed, quickly, so you can getback to earning SP.
We also do not have a minimum seeding time either, if you download a torrent and you seed it back to over 1 in 20 minutes, you can stop the thing if you want, it may not be good etiquete, but we do not punish for it.
To me its a great system, I have downloaded torrents that are over 2 years old and got over 1MBs download on them, actually they have maxed out my download of 1900KBs (20meg connection), and i also know that if i can seed something for awhile, my ratio will go up, because a leecher will not be scared to download an older torrent. I seeded Xenosaga 1 for 300 days, it was 15gig (or there abouts) and i uploaded 80gig on it, and that was with a shitty 80KBs ul but or 10 hours of the day 25KBs and that was split over 30+ torrents.
If all you do is grab a game, limit your upload, as soon as you reach 1 with SP, stop it, then you have totally the wrong idea o what we are trying to achieve, we wont ban you for doing that, but its not what it was designed for.
I just cant see anything wrong with the SP System, and this is from someone, who used to have a 500mhz laptop, 11gig hdd, 25KBs upload and used to
Run the tracker
Be the first to upload games onto Suprnova
seed those to 1000`s of leechers
within a week they were dead (because we were public)
So sorry, but i just laugh at those that say "BUT", there is no BUT I have been there and got the T-Shirt, I still have a shit connection, and i also dont use a SeedBox.
