New Ratio Requirements
-
After careful consideration and observing the effects of the minimum ratio being set at .250, we have decided to implement minimum ratios based on the table below. Some of the factors we have taken into consideration are:
1. Torrents are not being properly seeded and are becoming ?dead? in a significantly shorter period of time.
2. We are getting feed back from Uploaders informing us that they can not upload new torrents because too many members are leeching one of their torrents and are not seeding after they have completed the download. The Uploader is therefore seeding for a longer period of time.
3. The surprising number of members who support either keeping the old ratio of .350 or raising the ratio even higher. Looking at the ?Poll? numbers on the ?Home? page, 31% of members fall into that category. We expected results of 10% to 20%.
4. Reviewing all the comments in the different ?Forum? issues, we could not find ONE good reason for keeping a low ratio, but many valid arguments for a higher ratio.

New Rationator Version 2.1
Nearly nine months after we implemented rationator 2.0 on our tracker we had now enough time to review and discuss the results of Rationator 2.0.
After some discussion we decided that the gliding scale is and was a good measure to learn about ratio and sharing, especially for new users.
We did not overlook that long time users with a big upload amount had some problems with the big minimum ratio 0f 0.8 - so we decided to loosen rationator 2.1 a bit for members with big download traffic.
In general we prolonged all grace periods for all users which get a ratio warning.
Here are the new values:
| | Download | Minimum Ratio | Warning period (to fix) |
| | –---------- | –----------- | –--------------------- |
| | < 2 GB | .200 | 7 days |
| | | | |
| | < 5 GB | .250 | 7 days |
| | | | |
| | < 10 GB | .300 | 10 days |
| | | | |
| | < 25 GB | .350 | 14 days |
| | | | |
| | < 50 GB | .400 | 17 days |
| | | | |
| | < 100 GB | .450 | 21 days |
| | | | |
| | < 250 GB | .500 | 28 days |
| | | | |
| | < 500 GB | .600 | 35 days |
| | | | |
| | > 500 GB | .700 | 49 days |Please note: If you do not meet the minimum ratio requirements within the prescribed Warning Period, you will lose your download rights. This does NOT mean you are banned from the site. You can still seed and once you have seeded enough to get your ratio to the Minimum Ratio requirement your download rights will automatically be restored.

Yes, that's why we are letting it drop to the bottom of the forums.
