Any recent changes WRT partially seeded torrents?
-
In the past few days, several torrents that started seeding but then paused / stalled for a while were deleted.
Normally, torrents that never start seeding are automatically deleted after three days. But torrents that start seeding then stop before completion are not deleted.
In my experience, more than half of torrents that pause or stall for a few hours or days do eventually complete to 100%. Those that never complete seeding aren't automatically deleted from the site, although most of us eventually give up and delete the partial files from our seedboxes.
The partially-seeded torrents that were deleted recently do not seem like the types of content that get DMCA. One example: two movies from the same studio; despite a pause of at least a few hours, one of them completed to 100% and is still alive, the other got to about 50%, paused for several hours, then was deleted.
So I'm curious if there was any change to procedures or operations regarding partially-seeded torrents? Or is this just because of an unusual number of Uploaders deleting their own torrents for whatever reasons?

@urx585 all new torrents are automatically deleted if the uploader fails to either:
a) seed to completion to at least one peer
b) actively seed the torrent for 48 hoursthis doesn't mean the torrent will be immediatelly deleted after 48 hours, as there is a grace period of some sort. The uploader doesn't have to seed for 48 hours non-stop, they only need to accumulate 48 hours before this grace time deadline.
If a torrent becomes unregistered before this period, it is because the uploader has deleted it himself.
