I saw many speedtset proof @ inv section.
I don't think speed is important for most trackers such as oink \mvd\ , few leechers @ those trackers.
It's easy to keep ratio even u have 30KB up conection, just seed long time.
I got my first 10G upload @ oink in about 3days with 60-70KB up conection before I got my VPS.
maybe speed is important for bitmetv scc.
Speeds are important in some select sites as it's a sort of "race". The faster you download a new wanted file, the more people you can seed to, the more ratio you actually "milk" off the torrent, the better.
I agree thatQuote:

speed is important for scene sites but other sites i dont find it that important..
i have slow ass upload and never had a problem keeping a good ratio so no.
clearly its necessary. We need to keep those hordes of dial up users out ;)
well dial up users cant really maintain a ratio
"I got my first 10G upload @ oink in about 3days with 60-70KB up conection before I got my VPS"
You either got damn lucky or downloaded a grip of stuff.
speed is very important if you want to join the race for new torrents.
speed is also important when you are seeding many torrents, you don't to want your upload speed to be the bottleneck.
Speed is very important in my opinion, i hate downloading torrents at low speeds, when im on a tracker like bitsoup and getting 60 kb/s it pisses me off, id rather be on ScT and down at my max home speed of 800 kb/s

i believe good speed it's very important, but it's not a disaster if you don't have it, i have low upload speed but i can still keep good ratio at good trackers like oink or sct.
if you can decide between a slow connection and a fast connection? what would you take? :blink:
is your answer: "i don't care!" ??????
probably not.
so ask again:
is speed important? :wacko:
of course it is. the faster the better!
Well that depends. If speed is great and content sucks, you don't do anything with the tracker. But if content is great and speed sucks, the tracker is usefula. If speed and conten are really good, the tracker is great.
dude, we're talking here about personal dsl speed. not tracker speed.Quote:

For e.g i always max out on all of my torrents..except Demonoid..
Be it TL/Revtt/ScT... My speeds are always same...
So for me at the moment ScT and TL are same...:D
Because i dont care about Rarity and Contents appearing few minutes late doesnt matter anything..:D
Do you mean does your speed decide what tracker you should be in? or
Do members of a tracker really care about speeds given by the tracker's peers?
I'd say no. And I also think its unfair how people will judge based on speed. Theres always a way to keep a good ratio. Now as far as sites, if your speed sucks, you probably wont like SCC as much as say TL because they get a lot of the same content and SCC would be so much harder to keep a good ratio. However on a site that you can't compare to another tracker, you fin ways to seed, whether its partial seeding or getting torrents from other trackers to seed. If there's a will there's a way, you just gotta be a little careful about it.
On another note: I don't care about speed but I ask for speedtests just so I can compare them with ratio proofs... it's very obvious when they're mismatched and someone is trying to cheat you. ;)

Having a faster connection helps enormously for sites like bitmetv and sct (Notoriously hard to maintain a good ratio). Its not impossible but just means you have to work that bit harder.
