I cannot find Wishlist where torrents that you mark with a star go. Am I stupid or what!? Where is it?

You're probably not connectable.

Even though seed bonus is "stuck in 2010" it's extremely generous to offer 0.5 bonus per torrent regardless of size. No problems increasing ratio here and havent had to exchange since like my first year on this site.

It's not per torrent. It's for one or more torrent. So you get 0.5 points per hour and that's it. At least that's what it is for me and that's what the FAQ states. If you know a way of getting more, please let me know. I'm seeding for several sites, but somehow on this one I get almost no traffic seeding. I uploaded a torrent and literally seeded it exactly once, after that nobody ever seeded from me again. The torrent is reasonably popular, but apparently my connection isn't. As I said, I'm seeding on other sites just fine, and apparently I can seed here too when I'm the only option, so I doubt the problem are my settings.

It almost feels like there's a club of super seeders that are hogging all the traffic and basically choking out the rest of us. Which just causes even less downloads and thus less seeding etc. It's not "generous" to offer those bonus points, it's straight up necessary because there's just no other way. And no, I won't donate to a site that basically forces me to through the back door (no pun intended).

I don't really want to jump through useless hoops like fake forum posts or "repackaging" existing torrents. I think it should be enough that I basically just offer what I got here. Fair and square.

OMG you took the words out of my mouth. you said it so well.

i am currently seeding 25 torrents here, 25 torrents on second site, and 25 on third site. and let me tell you, i'm seeding like crazy on those other sites, but none here. traffic turnover is huge there because average joes that do not have seed boxes are downloading a lot. average joe cannot download a lot here because of ratio policy.

i can download here 10 GB per month. if i download more, my ratio goes down too much. do you know how many GB i can download per month on those other sites. 100-500GB. if i'm in this situation here, than 1000s other average users are also. and wouldn't it be better for this site if we all could download 100GB per month instead of 10GB.

it's all about traffic turnover. if it's slow then the site is dead. just like the economy. if everyone starts saving money instead of spending, we're screwed.

what i'm trying to say from the beginning of this discussion is that downloading 10 GB per month was fine for me in 2015, but now it's not enough and seeder bonus should go up.

unfortunately, i do have problem maintaining my ratio here and that's why i am more active on other torrent sites which give me better upload credit.

i think seeder bonus should be updated to reflect bigger and bigger screens and file sizes. for example 600 points should give you 20 GB upload credit instead of 10 GB. that's the point of seeder bonus for those who have trouble uploading.

i think it's in this site's interest that i and others like me are as active as possible, meaning downloading a lot of stuff and keeping torrents alive through 24/7 seeding.

that's just my suggestion. easy fix really

you know what the problem with this torrent site is… seeder bonus is stuck in year 2010.

five years ago, i was downloading 350MB per scene and seeder bonus of 600points = 10GB upload was enough to keep my ratio of 1.0
but now, in 2020, i download 1.5GB per scene and keeping a good ratio through seeder bonus points is impossible.

P.S. I seed 24/7

I download mostly the larger files and have uploaded only a few and relatively unpopular torrents but have no trouble keeping my ratio up just from seeding 24/7.  I don't even buy traffic with bonus points.   I wonder if something is preventing you from sharing data such as low upstream bandwidth or a software setting?

i don't know.
i noticed that when there is a lot of seeders, leechers are not downloading from me. but when i am the only seeder, leecher has no problem downloading from me. probably my internet speed is slower than super seeders'.
