the german tracker ts-tracker introduced a seed limit of 500% per torrent today.
when the seed limit is exceeded, upload data is not added to the user stats anymore.
ts-tracker is known for its ultra fast speeds, but also struggled with a overseeding problem. the implementation is the answer to a user poll done half a year ago. 70% of the members voted for a seed limit.
Wow I would think the members would not want that because if you want to buffer your acct then you are capped, but then again it gives others a fair chance to seed too. Hmmm maybe it is a good idea
unless it totally cuts you off from the swarm (like wait times do), then it's a useless move.Quote:

i think it is a good solution though because nobody gets penalized this way ;)
btw who cares about building buffers?
People who don't watch their stuff download might not.Quote:

But props to TS-Tracker for trying out something new - it may work out well, you never really know. Good luck to the tracker.
cuz someone losing yourself and leeching over and cant keep ratio especially in TL it must be . I remembered i had 3 seedbox and in TL ı hardly keep ratio at begining :) after past hours I sprinted;)Quote:

Good think I'm not at that place :)
Thats a nice idea to prevent the overseeding problem, but you can`t forget that overseed extend the torrent live...
I think that some torrents will die early due to this new "rule".
not may b , its definitely a great idea , specially for those who cant afford SB or have average home connection..Quote:

someone can be on a torrent from a SB when its first upped and upload 500gig easy on that 1 4 gig torrent. But someone else could be on a torrent for 52 weeks and seed to 6:1 but they are keeping it alive.
Just like i have saying on my site, (with a completely differnt subject btw) we cant please everyone all the time, and we can never have a perfect system, just hope it works for them and their members.
It helps out those who don't have seedboxes more than people who do.
