Reseeding is not the same as retention. You can request a repost on usenet and I've seen them fulfilled within days for games up to ten years old.
my mistake, you're right on this one.

Re: is ratio-less the future?
No ratio system is a very good system but i don't think that every tracker change their system to no-ratio.. Some trackers need ratio system..
Re: is ratio-less the future?
Big trackers are probably better off with ratio to be honest.
Re: is ratio-less the future?
No ratio will only work with small trackers or very large trackers.

No way. People will stop using seedboxes. Only those users who genuinely are good seeders will keep seeding. But the speed will really suffer. Speed for which ScT is known for. Of course this is just a theory. Not sure how it works out practically.
Re: is ratio-less the future?
Ratio requirements keep torrents alive. Without it there is no reason to keep seeding a file.
Re: is ratio-less the future?
IMO, for most trackers the ratio-free concept is a gimmick meant to attract users. There are a couple of examples of successful trackers who run it but the vast majority are run by n00bs trying to be l33t. There are pros and cons to all systems, but imo its very hard for a ratio free tracker to succeed especially w/ the current state of torrents. Conditioning the user to understand that the cornerstone of torrents is sharing (give back what you take) is imo the best route to take for the overall health of a tracker.
