FTN Gets Rid of Ratios.

[th0r]

Wow, maybe I'll start using my FTN account now. Thanks Brandon!

FTN leading the way

cant wait to get there....

[SkullForce]

WOW, it is real.
Wonderful, long life FTN>
Will this state last forever or for few month or year?
THANX

I can see that that the leeching state is improved and the seeding state is greatly improved and both state will be unbelievable in about 2 days.

good thing who needs ratios but you still have to 1:1 or 36h

If they're innovative, then so is The Pirate Bay and all the first trackers. No ratio used. Ratio was added because people never seeded back what they took. Adding ratio is innovative, removing ratio is not.

Removing ratio and keeping download speed fast and torrents well seeded is something new, innovative, never happened before

yes it happened before, ask Wild
anyway he won't tell you...

Cool idea, would be great if other sites did it too.

Not to steal any thunder, but again, it's not new.

Umm... maybe im blind but im not seeing a listing of my current ratio anymore.
Anyone else having this problem or must i be downloading to see it now?

All it shows is Power User, but i thought at one time there was an actual ratio that was shown, maybe im trippin' hell i dunno

The response:

We could show ratios but then we get everyone saying how hard it is to seed here or we get those "look at my ratio" type threads. We also get people worrying that they are about to be banned. Don't worry about ratio, just seed fairly and you'll be fine

It is good to see others relying less on ratio, and I'm curious to see what the next part is, but this part is not new.

Hats off to FTN, definitely leading the way - will be interesting to see how it turns out and what the new phases will be.

Even though am not a member, but won't this affect torrent retention cuz there would no necessity to seed beyond 36 hrs and could well result in torrents goin dead within a couple of days.
