The only thing I am concerned about is that it is a private tracker. I can imagine the members who are refused access to it (for whatever reason) are going to get angry, and it could end up tearing the community in half. How would members be selected? It could be more trouble than it's worth, especially if it's going to be an elite clique like fasttracker

the only people wont be allowded r non-FST and 56k users and i dont think 56k users would waste thier time with worthless try to download large files.

Thats ridiculous. It's true not many dial uppers would bother with movies but what about software and mp3s?

I have no problem if 56k'ers use it. I was on dial up until a year ago simply because broadband wasn't available in my area - and I live in the UK. I imagine there are many people elsewhere in the world who are on dial up through lack of alternative.

it will be no good if 56 k users join cuz all bandwidth will go waste as more 56kers join the leeching, or mybe they can be only allowed to music and software section.

You could easily solve that problem by tracking share ratios.
say like if you dl over 2 gig you need to have a ratio above 0.5 or get banned from the tracker (not this site&#33. Something like that.
So everyone (56k to 10MB) can join, but no-one can leech.

I&#39;m not sure how you could prevent 56k&#39;ers from joining in. If this is just an addition to the forum, then they will have access if they are members.

It would really be there loss if they joined in on large torrents, because chances are the file will be finished before they are. They will have wasted time getting a big chunk of a file that is no longer being seeded.

Wouldn&#39;t that mean having our own tracker?

IF we have a password protected section and filtered tracker so no other extrnal user can join. there r lots of ways to prevant unwanted users to join the tracker.

[tracydani]

I had thought we were discussing using someone elses tracker? That would seem to make enforcement of anything difficult.

If this is the way to go, i would go for our own tracker&#33; Just for this community.
IMO the only way to control and keep track of things.

just my 2 cts...

we must have our own tracker other ways any one can steal our bandwitdh by connection to it from any where, we must use own tracker so we can ban ip&#39;s that r not listed.
