Forum Overview :: Rants :: Re: I was so angry, I made a mistake.

[quote name="Zseni: Warrior-Poet"][quote name="Fussbett"][quote name="Fussbett"]So instead of 70 snatches and 14 peers (worst thing ever) they would prefer 40 snatches and 30 peers?[/quote] That should read "So instead of 70 snatches and 14 SEEDS (worst thing ever) they would prefer 40 snatches and 30 SEEDS?"[/quote] While I understand your feral rage, I do think the insane system you're describing has at least one beneficial side effect: torrents last longer. No-penalty systems have torrents that may only last a day or two, penalty systems are more likely to have older torrents still seeded. I don't know, chief. It's great to be on a fast torrent, but also great to find what you're looking for some time after it has been posted. One of the best ways to remove the delay bummer (OMG THE ALBUM I ALWAYS WANTED!!!! Torrent is 20 weeks old... NO SEEDERS... CRY) is to have a forum closely attached to the tracker so that people can request seeders for expired torrents. ThePPN, which I will never quit harping about as an ideal of great tracker design, did this and kept all old torrent files no matter how old and dead they were, and you could always get what you wanted from someone or another. Speaking of penalties and trackers and whatnot, <a href="http://www.boxtorrents.com/index.php">Boxtorrents</a> has optional registration, and registering enables you to leave comments and be penalized for low upload. THAT'S IT. So weird. [/quote]
