How would you feel about the idea of weighted downloads, where over-seeded torrents would affect your ratio less?

If you're confused, the idea would be that there is a sliding scale, going from low seeders to high seeders, and it would make the downloaded amount be reduced.

For example, the numbers might be:

10-19 seeders = 75% ratio hit
20-49 - 50% ratio hit

etc

While still keeping full uploaded amount.


"Meh, I don't really think there's a good reason for anything like this." - Ali (8.563 ratio)

"I voted "Bad Idea", and agree with Ali on this." - Honeybucket (2.370 Ratio)

"Wouldn’t it be better to have it the other way around to help keep less mainstream music alive on oink." - trips999 (2.620 Ratio)

"If you download something with > 100 seeders, you haven't got a hope of getting that ratio back." - OiNK (1,337.000 Ratio)

"Has anyone noticed on the statistics page, that the banned user's category is favoring this move 100%." -oedipusex (7.237 Ratio)

Now if they could only unban me from the forum for my dissension in Ray's thread.
