KK so this is purely my own thoughts...
recently lots of trackers - SeX (looked pretty pimped nayway), SCC, THS to name a few - have redesigned their interface to something more 21st century, and less default TBDev...
Now that TorrentLeech is down temporarily, it's showing typical cartoonised banner similar to the rest of the trackers, ie, use of terminal (?) font, or some sort of ansii text (to that effect)... Says staff are doing upgrades; could this be a TL redesign coming along?
The logo is definitely different, I guess we shall see.
I would point to a cluster reorganization, or load rebalancing on the servers.
Something will definitely change, hopefully the UI, because the old one looked horrible.
If they get over the wait time i might request a invite also feel free to post some screens
yeah wait time sucks thats where IPT or SCC wins the raceQuote:

It's looks quite horrible :)
probably it's a matter of habit XD a few days and I'll like the logo.
Yes wait time it's depends on the ratio and in the first days that you signup
true, but what good are the pretimes if u have to wait 4 hours to be able to download torrents u can get it faster with other trackers who copy the contentQuote:

Well true about TL, but thats the way their are making money out of new users and you should edit your post ;)Quote:

From the time that each new torrent is uploaded to the tracker, there is a period of time that some users must wait before they can download it.
This delay in downloading will only affect users with a low ratio, and users with low upload amounts.
Ratio below 0.50 and/or upload below 4.0GB delay of 48h
Ratio below 0.6 and/or upload below 5GB delay of 32h
Ratio below 0.70 and/or upload below 6.0GB delay of 16h
Ratio below 0.8 and/or upload below 7GB delay of 8h
"And/or" means any or both. Your delay will be the largest one for which you meet at least one condition.
This applies to new users as well, so opening a new account will not help. Note also that this works at tracker level, you will be able to grab the .torrent file itself at any time.
The delay applies to leeching.However,if you wish to seed(aka upload)you can do so without wait time,given the fact that you have the 100% of the release!
Me, I just hope the new design (if any) doesn't suck as much as SCC's does now. :idunno:
the new one is more modernQuote:

If you're going to spam, at least post something remotely useful...
It's a whole new site afaik and its going to be kick ass.
If you have wait times and you have been a member for a while then it's your fault.
Wait times are good, they train new user's.TL and other sites with wait times are not for user's that stray from TPB or elsewhere like that matter.

Wait times train new users exactly how?Quote:

Wait times were introduced back in the times where almost every tracker was open for signups, and thus you could signup, H&R an account to death, optionally delete it, and make a new one. Now that many of those sites are invite-only, I think there's little sense in having them, to be honest.
How come I forgot about that...Quote:

Anyway wait times don't do that.
If you want to people to donate either make it virtually impossible to maintain a positive ratio on a "normal" connection without resorting to extraordinary lengths or without benefit of upload credit or else make the site really l337 and then keep threatening to close because you are always running short on funds.
In the latter case it might also be beneficial to brow-beat the general populous ( ungrateful scum that they are ) for failure to donate to a place that they basically belong to in the first place just so they can get stuff for free.
