Seeding bonus system
« on: May 19, 2009, 11:24:08 pm »
Will there be a possible inclusion of a point system for seeding in order to help people with their ratios? For example, each person would gain a point for each hour they seed and be able to exchange their points for upload credit.

This would help a lot since the majority of torrents have very little, if any, seeders.

I dont think that is fair becoz not every one has a fast internet connection....

and not everyone can always afford to seed

especially from poor countries...

Personally I dont care. If I could vfly at no cost and have all the exam papers and textbooks you want on your pc I would. I am trying to get the torrent server back up but my tech guy says we need a raid system which involves more technical trikery.

That's good to know.

Let me know if you need to seed a perticular torrent, I can do that when my internet is idle. :]

When everything was functioning we had real problems persuading people to seed. If anyone has ideas to persuade people to seed can they let us know.

I think there's a way. Private trackers use that method.. It's like you have to have a good seed/leech ratio in order for you to continue downloading from that particular tracker. (:S)

lol, i just came across this ---> http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/90e6p/why_do_people_seed_torrents/
(for noobs) :D
