^^^^^^^^^^
thanks for that answer teflon
All ratio-free trackers and those offering bonus points for seeding have that issue to some degree, unfortunately.Quote:

i absolutely love btn, but i wont be letting my bitmetv account die anytime soon. it's an absolute gem for hard-to-find non-scene content
Judging by the forums the forums I'm guessing quite a few.Quote:

Recently downloaded something about a year old from post date, said it had 2 seeders and 2 leechers, I got ~1gb from one peer (partial leecher most likely), and 5+GB (the rest) from one single seeder... Never even saw the other leecher or seeder connect :\
Has BTN gotten better about the seeder count on older packs of series? I don't really mind if something comes in slow, as long as there are enough seeders that if a few drop off, I can still complete the download.
