STN goes P2L

Nothing you can't find elsewhere:



Although they have a request system where you can ask for any release and they'll try to find it on the topsites they have access to. As well as the possibility of uploading stuff from other trackers to prevent you from ruining your ratio there.

funny. i always thought that selling leech axx was exactly the same, regarding as selling "scene shits". And some people who even staff some sites sell it to their members.
That's worse than STN's philosophy if you wanna go down that road.
 
No member should donate. I am sure there are better or equal to this site(never seen it) so why not use a site that is free,easy to seed on. What will they do start over with new members if nobody donates? Doubt it. being too greedy or doing something desperate like Forcing donations is why sites are shut down. Is this a BT tracker or RS,MU? Does not sound like a site that is safe nor does it sound like the staff care about their members, just $. So if you upload and follow rules but do not throw the site money they kick you out. Pathetic.:sleep:


"Following this 14 days i.e. Trial expiry any accounts that have not adopted a sponsorship slot will be disabled.. and finally 7 days after this the accounts will be pruned permanently if the user has opted not to make a sponsorship adoption of Euro 3."

I'm curious as to how many torrents do they have, I would presume It's several hundred thousand, well that's how many Demonoid(when online) or torrents.ru has.
 
It's incredibly easy to seed at TL and power users get 2 invites every month. There is absolutely no need to donate at all. You can donate if you want to support the tracker, or if you're too dumb/connection isn't good enough to keep a ratio.

For STN, if you dont donate, you're banned from the tracker.

That's so similar. Why hadn't I seen it before?
 
There are some trackers that do not engage in any of the activities mentioned in the P2L argument (sans "sites that are ratio based are p2l (as you pay with your bw that costs you something" ).
As far as I know, Docs.Torrents.Ro and Tv.Torrents.Ro neither display ads nor take donations. I'm sure there are more.

Isn't that essentially what STN is doing? I'm guessing that he is one of the ones selling "leech axx" as thats one of the core principles STN was founded on. Ever since the beginning, for an (extremely) lucrative fee you could request scene files to be uploaded as torrents, or for an even greater fee directly download from their scene ftp slot. When I first saw their site this greatly drew my suspicion but I shrugged it off at first as the site seemed to be doing quite well...

As for my thread, I do realize in the grand scheme of things it won't really make a difference. But after seeing the irony and absurdity of their recent shift I couldn't help but post it here and hopefully shed some light on the tracker. Perhaps this thread will make (somewhat) of a difference on how people view the tracker :ermm:
 
They had good donation contributions in start but when they began to introduce one after another P2L factor like pay for this , pay for that, their donations dried up rather quickly in the months to follow. Hard negative response against such sites is the best way to prevent such practices in the future.
 
actually wasn't me. but more chances will come :happy:

I understand your attitude towards the site, and share it in some points. I just don't think we're going to make any difference with this, because actually the members who don't pay will be disconnected in few days and learn it the hard way.
Just let them go. They're indeed selling leech axx, only via a tracker, not a FTP server.

Wow, I missed this line the first time I read it.

I also missed that. Kind of got disgusted and bored and after the first few lines.

I can't believe a brand new site has the balls to try something like this. I wonder how many members they're going to have after this 14 day trial.
