Power user status - when does this occur?

wesleyrayne

hey again!

was just wondering how the user status thingies work? how much do you need to attain new and improved status levels?

kind thanks

This gets asked often and I always forget where the answer is but….

User Groups - you can work out when you will progress for yourself. Some are automatic, some are in the lap of the gods (they know who they are).

If I can go on to your other query,

Now if you want an explanation about ratio try Here. The last person who understood that was taken away and locked up with three burly bears. No, that is not an invitation.

But you are building a good ratio so don't let it put you off downloading. If you keep your torrent client open it will often be sufficient.

And even if your ratio falls below the required level, you don't get thrown off the site, there are just limits imposed on downloading new torrents. And plenty of people will help you get your ratio back on track.

So just enjoy

thank you so much for the advice! i will indeed be a little more adventurous now thanks to that!
i suppose im a little paranoid at heart so i worry im not doing my bit to keep a website like this working well, so i always feel i need to upload some cool stuff to keep other members with tastes like mine happy. i love to share!
but i will download now a bit more and try get some stuf for my own personal satisfaction and not always think of others

thank you!!

The short and sweet answer is power user status is obtained when you have been a member for at least 4 weeks, have a share ratio of at least 1.000 and have more than 40 GB of upload.

Just make sure you are giving back AT LEAST as much as you take and seed as many as you can. I usually have at least 100 seeding, and sometimes over 200– right now I am seeding 197 torrents so you just do what you can. Don't drive yourself crazy. :cheesy2:

Perhaps worth a mention that the roughly 10TB you have uploaded in excess of a ratio of 1.0 are 10TB that other people can't upload.

And yes, I am setting a bad example

But that would be based on an assumption that the torrents were of a particularly "popular" nature, but on many of my torrents that I seed, there are very few seeders– on of the reasons that I keep seeding them, and at this point in time, the vast majority are older themed movies. (I also use my seedpoints to make movies that I think people would otherwise not try freeleech so as to diversify peoples collections )

Yes, I realise that mine was a very simplistic comment.

But in general these days, if others are downloading, I bow out to let them have a chance of seeding as well, usually after I've done my 1.0.

I applaud your community spirit. I became pretty cynical a while ago
