awesome i always check peoples ratios when i get requests for reseeds... it pisses me off when i look at their ratio to see it at 0.3 etc... i dont reseed stuff for them unless their ratio is above 1 because they dont deserve it and i aways mantain mine above 1 be it uploading or donating.. they should get their ratio above 1 before sending requests..

people who after a reasonable amount of time, 50 - 100GB downloaded who cant maintain a ratio above 1 should in my opinion lose their account... they are leeches and shouldnt have the luxury of getting the great uploads that we all enjoy and (most) are thankful for their efforts...

We have an automatic system that disables accunts that does not follow the ratio rules. It works well, but most people dont realize by removing the files directy after download they are getting closer to becoming disabled each time because of their ratio slowly suffering more and more so its a heads up to help the users, not to complain.

Hi, new user here.

About the hit and run, i have seen this done on other private trackers and it seems to work well. I have a question to raise in case it has not been placed here. Like my case after i finish a download i turn off my client all together so that i can stream it on my network. Does the system that checks for hit and run take into consideration if the client is not turned on. I am sure i am not the only that does this. But as soon as the client is turned back on you can be sure that seed will still be there.

Temporary turning off is tolerated as some people like to sort out stuff by folders and then continue seeding.
If you stream something normally it shouldn't be affected by using torrents. Streaming HD stuff over wireless network to your Playstation 3 for example can lag, but with wired connection it goes good.

Im ashamed to say i have only a 0,9 ration with (340 down 312 up).
donated 20$ to get member but after that all is "real" upload gb:s..

My problem was a weak wireless connection giving me something like 300kb/down at max with 5-10kb/s and i could only have my computer on daytime while I imagine most users is active during (my) nights.

But thats been fixed! now i can dl 1-2mb/s and up 300kb-1mb/s so WAY easier to get ratio, and my comp is on 24/7.

Since that was fixed i went from 0,83 to 0,9 in a week so soon i dont have to be embarressed anymore. (Increasing ratio is pretty slow when u got so much downloaded..)

ugh... New, just reading this... I've got mine set to automatically change and had a friend set this up for me so I'm pretty much screwed right?


Update... So I've figured out that I can just add the files back to the folder after download and seems to be seeding again. 15 on one 16 on the other it looks like. So I assume it's working. I'll leave up longer than the 48 hours or until I need space. Hope this is okay and don't get penalized because this is the only way I know around.

Yep, you are a smart guy. You sorted it out before I had time to reply!

Well done!
