Best idea a tracker ever had?

[Razgriz]

Yep, that was pretty obvious, lol.

as far as i have experienced, ratioless usually comes with a rule like 'seed for 72 hours', with as a result that older torrents are bad seeded.

I may be wrong, and maybe it's perfect for some, but i haven't seen the advantages over a tracker with ratio

It variates from tracker to tracker (like everything else in the world variates). The bad seeded part is true on some well known 0day trackers, but that's not the case on a tracker I know. No seedingrules exist but yet members keeps seeding their files for months, and some members even for years.

actually, the best idea a tracker ever had was inviting me to be a member.

no ratio = TPB as a pioneer

Can someone be so kind to explain the share index system to me?

For ratio whores... it only takes you up to a 1 ratio and it leaves your actual ratio as crap, so they will still want to seed.

The more you upload the less time you have to stay on the torrent, so it discourages you from capping your bandwith.

And the seeding time is based on torrent size so bigger files need to be seeded longer.

And at the same time, allowing this ratio free type mechanism encourages more downloading and more peers!

I like to see a tracker where members can earn bonus from downloading and not just seeding.

As would I. This was actually brought up on another track. Hopefully the staff took notice and will implement such a system. This would be a fresh new way to promote more leeching.

Gifts too? This operation you have going sounds more fun than MSN :O.

I like to see a tracker where members can earn bonus from downloading and not just seeding. Combine that with some form of h&r rules; it can increase the trackers' activities.

some tracker give out karma/bonus for downloading (along with uploading and seedling) if that's what you mean

But is this karma bonus for traffic activity big enough to make a difference?

Also sorry rart but I just noticed this so I made a motivational pic for shits and giggles.

yea its empty.. :shifty:

A tracker thats under dev is gonna implement something never ever seen before..and yeah, downloading activity is taken in account as well in the complex and kinda holistic algorithm being developed and tested.. :happy:
ya all will get to know about it in good time.. :yup:

Why do you think so? A ratiofree tracker both helps and improves the activity on the site astonishingly (at least the one I'm on).

I also think the users and staff play a big role in accomplishing this. If you have friendly staff, dedicated users and few/none rotten apples this works greatly in it's favor. And the "tracker you know" has succeeded in this.

Maybe Pretome and PTN for its gold points system and Blackjack!!And for being a ratio free tracker!!

The Share Index system is unique to FSC, and was designed to help those that find it hard to seed back enough to maintain a healthy ratio. For each 24 hours of connectivity, members earn a ratio 0.10 for each active torrent. That means that even if no one leeches from a seeder, within 10 days of sharing he will have a ratio of at least 1.0 on that torrent! This special ratio is called a Share Ratio, and is basically a bonus, added to the traditional up/down file ratio.

The Share Ratio is added to the member's file ratio to create a combined ratio, which is called a Share Index. The Share Index is the defacto measure of sharing on the site. If you are partially successful in seeding some data back, the Share Ratio for that torrent will help to boost the file ratio. All this goes into the Share Index.

Haha. That bastard. I'll have to find some way to get back at him. Its been a rather slow day and I've been a bit bored...

 

[Margarita de la Rosa]

Funnily enough, in 2007 sometime, i made a staff thread saying we should try ratio free, lets just say most of the staff thought I was mad, torrents would die overnight, everyone would hit and run, members only seeded for PU/SPU (well saying as though we got rid of those and have not seen a drawback in the above, that was rubbish) etc etc.

But as you know, we never actually went for it, even though I wanted to (and i still think it will work, but we have other plans now)
