They live because of leechers, and because old stuff is hard to find on private trackers (most of them are 0days)Quote:

Well on a tracker that has a small userbase,ratio woudn't be neccesery. Ppl woud seed to help other get the file, not everyone is a ratio whore.
As long as you give back 1:1 for each file you leech (or have the torrent to seed a fair amount of time for those old torrents where it's hard to seed back), then I don't see the point for a global ratio.
The important thing is that H&R are punished, and try to keep the torrent alive as much as possible (that's why those trackers with no-ratio/bonus for seeding time have the best system imo.
hmmmm, i think they call it FTN. an amazing site with great speeds and a very strong community....so you couldnt be more wrong, nt though.Quote:

For example a system that requires a 1:1 individual torrent ratio OR a minimum period of seed time on that torrent. This means that you can grab torrents that has no leechers without risking to screw up your ratio. At the same time, if you can't manage 1:1 ratio you will have to seed the torrent for that period of time before you can close it. In other words, not the same as free leech.
EDIT: Sure, there are solutions where you keep the total ratio that i think is good aswell. Those where you get bonus points for seeding time, which you can use to buy upload credits, or reduce the download count.
have you ever used public trackers.....yes the speeds are awfull....but they have a lot better community then most of the private trackers....and there has never been a virus ,unless some one like you would upload it...with all your "private tracker is way better then public tracker bull sh*t".Quote:

I have indeed recieved virii from public trackers. Check out how many different uploads there are for games and cracks for apps/games. Start dling all of those and tell me how long you will last without an AV.Quote:
