Shows get put into Inactive after they have had no seed for three weeks in a row. At that point, they go onto a list for the Mods and are removed. One thing we don't want to have is a bunch of shows in the Downloads forum that have been inactive for weeks or months and then have a leecher get on and expect to be able to download the show.

I guess if I understood the problem (I have a feeling I'm not 'getting' it) then we could probably work on a solution to it.
well, I guess I don't understand why there is a problem with a torrent that is inactive for 3 weeks why it matters or not if a leecher trys to download it. A lot of times, someone will jump on to reseed it. If noone jumps on, then the leecher will just move on after a few days of noone hoping on to help out. I just thought it takes extra time to recreate the torrent file and then start a new thread.
