Some great private trakers implement a system where users are rewarded for the time they spend seeding rather than the amount of data seeded. This creates an incentive towards keeping torrents available to everyone for a long time, which makes the whole system healthier.

which private trackers are engaging this approach. Seems worth to join them.

polishsource (polish general tracker) requires you to only seed 48 hours within a week from downloading and nothing more

and some other trackers completely ignore all of that and make it extremely hard to gain ratio. if they all had a bonus points system that would be great though

yeah its red im talking about, they are kinda essential for getting higher up, but i just dont want to deal with it

Yeah, RED guarantees access, but it's also possible to gain access without it; it just takes longer. Sites like TorrentLeech can serve as valid proof for certain sites during applications, for example. Additionally, AlphaRatio also has some recruitment.

yeah, but i would like to get in BLU or AB, and they just don't take applications or registrations

[–] Pulp@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

BLU took applications a month ago though
