Re: Should we ban thoughtless leechers?

on dime (not that am comparing this site to them) has an automatic setup.
if u reach below .25 they stop you from downloading. and then u can only up.
something about it is manually set through the site..and is not even humanly controlled. the whole point of keeping a decent ratio is to keep seeds on a torrent and keep them alive!!!...its really disturbing to see 100 people download a show that was upped a week ago, and then there is 1 or 2 seeders...i voted for .50 ratio at least. thats only 1/2 of what u took.
and on the other hand some people (like me)dl a bunch at a time then seed it out for a month or 2 so it may appear that a ratio was low....but you must keep seeding to keep a torrent up, otherwise it dies!...my true opinion is
there are way to many freeloaders...uploading is only your time and hd space.
if u cannot give any of it back, then u r selfish and you should be cut off...
if u keep fronting some weed from someone and never pay,u will eventually or right away be cut off....sharing is caring and there isnt a whole lot of caring left in this world....its a shame that free things(which is great cos i already pay for ther net)get ruined by people who dont care! just my .2cents
thats probably worth .1/2cent

Re: Should we ban thoughtless leechers?

Who cares about ratios. Those who give will give, those who take will take. Not everyone has the bandwith to give back what they take. All that matters is that the music is circulating, and it always will. Before you bash my ratio, you should know that when i signed up here i downloaded older torrents. I've slowly been bringing my ratio up, and will continue to do so.

I'd like to see the code for ratio added there, because I agree that I wouldn't be interested in reviving a torrent for a lousy ratio. I know I can always look up their user names, but it seems like adding a line of code is a much more efficient solution, and maybe the constant listing will help prod some people towards better behavior. (yeah, I know, wishful thinking, but wtf)
I just added the code so if you hover over the user's name in the Peers List, their stats will show up.

Re: Should we ban thoughtless leechers?

I think if you want to start banning thoughtless leechers, don't start a torrent based site. How do you think shit was done before torrents. Some of us have to steal all the wireless we can and we are firewalled and can't forward our ports because we don't know the idiot who left his wireless unsecure and know there would be no way in trying to educate them on port forwarding.

My balls are dry, suck my balls!

I am leaving... again...again... again...

Nice feature, thank you for adding. This and the "Your Seeding Opportunities" feature makes this site very comfortable to use.

And regarding the topic, I agree with others that I wouldn't be interested in reviving a torrent for someone with a lousy ratio.

something we [TTD Staff] have always pushed

understandably not everyone has the upload bandwidth for a 1:1 ratio, but there are numerous other ways to give back...vines, B&Ps, freebies, etc -- all great ways to share

They should be banned. No doubt about it. People who share build the community and those that dont crush the community. Ban these mofo's!
