Maybe its time to start using greedytorrent on ipt many of my friends have being using since 2-3 years and they don't have a single hnr also have more upload stats since they download and get there upload statz handled by greedy torrent
While the stuff they are doing is odd, it is still pretty easy to rack up 50 points and "zap" the straggler torrents. If I couldn't do that, then I'd be more irritated. As it is, I just go with it. :idunno:
I'm not even complaining about their rules, take it or leave it. It just seems to me that they should encourage people to seed longer and buy that extra 3TB hard drive by making the bonus points more useful and having some members who are on other good trackers bring quality stuff to IPT, not have those 50 similar versions of movies. Pissing people off is hardly the best way to improve a tracker. Look at what What.cd did with it's PU forums to encourage people to contribute more.
You don't HAVE to seed for 17 days, but it means if you have a piss poor connection and you download an old (or new) 10gb pack and only upload 10mb in 399 hours, then after 17 days it is considered 1:1 and the torrent is marked as fully seeded, you can continue to seed, or not as the case may be.
You may also donate, or use your buffer or use your seed points, or now use the 17 day rule to mark the torrent as completed, nothing wrong with having choices.
But like all the huge general 0day sites, it's a cash cow for the owners, they stopped worrying about the old values of file sharing a long long time ago.
Good point and totally unrelated to coercion or anything.Quote:

Sorry Guido.
Btw and here I be serious,I knew that IPT was taking a slow boat to Hell as soon as they created a FLAC section.
But 17 days I think no tracker wants to me to seed for that long even on BCG i can get SP much faster and IPT is a ratio based tracker.
EDIT - I forget to mention that I wanted to choke the developer of IPT who couldnt even code a simple seed record time system seems like they are getting there work done from Afghanistan to save money
It's also possible to get 50 points by seeding well before the 17 days seeding point on IPT, thus enabling you to zap the torrent much earlier than 17 days, it's horses for courses and choices, no-one forces anyone to download from anywhere, but before you do just be aware of their rules on their site of where ever that happens to be and if you don't like their rules, go elsewhere, there's always more than 1 pub that sells beer :cheers:
thats all i do these days seed get pionts zap them dam torrents ;) just seen the 17 days thing today tbh abit damm long im on sites ask 24 hours some 48 hours others a week youd think the seeders leechers they have there they wouldnt be so bad i tend let shit run till need space anyway so dont really worry about things even after zapping them normally let it go on just a peace of mind thing and get piont for next torrent :P ...and heyy btw dont you run a anotherplace bro are you didQuote:
