Demonoid Confusion

Is it true that ratios are not a big thing on Demonoid?

Ratio is absolutely meaningless there, not to mention they use an IP system to keep track of it, which isn't very accurate at times. Unless you care about that icon next to your nickname or what people may think of you for having a low ratio, don't give the matter further thought.

If you download a torrent, and remove the 'member-number' from the file name... it won't count toward your ratio... regardless of what IP address you are using.

Of course it will, as long as you seed it from the same IP address that is currently associated with your Demonoid account.
What the file is named is irrelevant, as others have already explained to you.
 
There is alot of mis-information in this thread.

Semi-Private = the forums are private (registered members only), the Demonoid tracked torrents are private, the 'external' torrents are public.
Ratio is not meaningless, but it is not enforced... it's mostly a 'ego-thing'.
They do not track by IP address... they track by 'member number'.

For example - White.Collar.S02E04.By.the.Book.HDTV.XviD.FQM.269XXXX.6834.torrent

269XXXX.6834 is a member number... edit that number out of the torrent name, and it becomes a 'public' (non-ratio) torrent.

Anyone who tells you differently, is mis-informed.

Then perhaps you can explain to me why my ratio hasn't changed since they were bumped off of Leaseweb?

A. Same IP, edited filename.

Do you know the story of the donkey which thought it sang better than the Nightingale?Well,if you dont know,the message conveyed by the story is:Ignorance is bliss and bliss it is,for the ignorant.Ofcourse if you think the Donkey sings better than the nightingale then its a different story :)
 
Some don't. That's why you can find "DHT patch" mods for different uTorrent versions on TPB. Demonoid's tracker has had its fair share of downtime in the past, and someone had the idea of removing uT's private flag check, so that he'd be able to finish his downloads, because many (although not all) of the Demonoid torrents he was trying to download had the flag set to 1, due to an uploader's mistake.

Fact - Demonoid torrents do not use passkeys.

True.

Fact - Torrents downloaded from Demonoid (while you are logged in) will have a 'member-number' in the filename.
Click to expand...

Wrong. That isn't a member number, it's just a number. My Demonoid UID begins with 443, while the number in torrent files begins with 632.

Fact - Torrents downloaded from Demonoid (while you are a 'guest') will not.
Click to expand...

True, they won't have that number.

Fact - Demonoid torrents downloaded from other index sites (i.e - The Pirate Bay) will not count towards your ratio at Demonoid (even tho it is tracked by Demonoid).
Click to expand...

They will if you've logged in to Demonoid with the same IP at the time, regardless of where you get the .torrent file from.
