BCG opens up IRC channel for invites

If he donates instead of seeding, why not going to Usenet where you get unlimited full-speed downloading for your money? :blink:

well with usenet, it is not possible to get older and rarer content
retention is one of the salient points of BitTorrent

I got the impression he meant he donates for upload credit on every tracker...

i bet you will be surprised on how many do that.

or if they are tight wads they cheat instead lol

i guess because it makes no point selling GBs in BCG (it being practically ratioless)
the ratio is still monitored on a per torrent basis, and your overall Actual Ratio isn't much important

BCG donors do get some advantages for their donations

So basicly if people want to leech and run the place is BitGamer? The system is unique but seems bring disadvantages to tracker lifeline too..

..some people contribute by seeding back if they not able to donate, some can donate and buy GB so tracker can keep alive. if everybody just seeding, who will pay server bills?

Ever though not all donors may want something in return for their money, other than knowing they helped a place they like remain alive?

Based on scenario happen, i dont think so, at least 7/10 who donated because expecting something. Btw stoi, did BCG really got enough donation every month?
