The uploaders use their free time to make these packs, often taking up 50-100GB+ of space on their boxes, to keep the users happy and people were almost hit and running on them.
After 1 to 2 weeks some of these packs were dead. It doesn't help that multiple sites steal the packs (some don't even take the effort of removing the -ScT tag), where it's easier to seed so people grab them there instead. With all the packs now being Free Leech it should encourage snatches, and vastly increase the life of the torrent, be it with completed seeders or even just partial seeders taking advantage of downloading a few free leech RARs from the pack.
