Thats no good if everyone gets a seedbox and no one donates and the tracker goes down.

and your buffer goes down the pan with it.

but u see a good reason to donate to a site instead buy SB and live from it? in the eyes of the user it is a much better deal. it cant be compared. or u prefer sites that they only give u invites if u give them money? and then they come brag about how private they are and exclusive. it's all liars. they do it for the money. i prefer to give my money to a company that rents me a server. it's a matter of choice.

And the ones without seedboxes should learn what torrents to download and which not. If everybody knew what to download there wouldn't be such topics like this.

Huh? Shouldn't they just download what they want to watch.. :unsure: Not too hard to 'learn' that, it would hopefully come naturally.

edit: didn't catch up with the thread, see this was already mentioned.

hmm who said anything about invites, or gigs for $$. (i am not getting into P2L or P4I in this thread)

My point was, if everyone got a seedbox, and never donated to another site ever again, there would be no sites for you to use your precious seedboxes on, and all that money you spent on a seedbox, would be wasted, as if the sites go, then your precious buffer goes with it, and in turn no sites to use your seedbox on.

Point is that without the site you will just be left with a very fast connection to surf the internet with.

Oops slow off the mark again.:pinch:

It really boils down to how balanced a tracker is, what precautions (e.g. a proper bonus system) the admins have implemented to prevent the negative side effects of seedboxes from becoming overwhelming, and hurting the site and community as a consequence. Or to put it differently: You should never be forced to download stuff you don't want just to keep a good / acceptable ratio. If that is the case, something is wrong with the design / balance of the tracker.

Or just get rid of this whole ratio system altogether, which actually has has been the trend for a lot of the newer trackers recently.

except that the ratio system is actually the last rampart to prompt users to keep torrents seeding for a long time. if you get rid of it, there's no doubt that the retention will be seriously affected.

Actually you all kinda missed what hombre meant to say.He didn't say he won't donate to a tracker.He leaves open the option of donating to keep the site alive but what he refuses is extortion and bribery i.e he'd rather eat dirt than pay so as to maintain his account on a tracker because he'd be banned if he doesn't.

He prefers working himself out of a mess just like everyone else only that he is choosing to do it with a little help from OVH.Hombre is e-honest and the fact that he is talking about pushing 10TB in 30 days with €30 only(impossible if you ask me)that makes hombre e-hardworking :yes: :yes:

People are never happy.
At 1st speeds were low and took forever to get a pack.
Then came fast conections and SB. Everyone was happy for awhile.
Npw they bitch because some overseed. Who cares what they seed. Just keep the torrent alive for a few days longer.

Someone mentioned about spending on SB rather then hlping out trackers:
Thats a good point, but why download and not go buy it at the store?

If you have bad conections then you should be in p2p.
My sb is 20euros. If you cant afford it then get another hobby

I almost feel sorry for him, after all seeding with a seedbox is so strenous and hard isnt it. (sarcasm btw)
