I really liked the freeleech program, and saw lots of advantages in the program including helping your ratio, and in downloading some file that you might never look at without the program.
I completely agree. The freeleech program initially was great to help boost your ratio and now it is practically useless. I was bordering at a 1.00 and having trouble raising it because many of the torrents I would download were already well-seeded and were difficult to break even (1.0 upload & 1.0 download). When the program first started I was able to get my ratio up significantly. Now there is a long waiting period to make a file freeleech and you have to spend an insane amount of bonus points because of the minimum 24-hour period.
I really hope the staff can find a good way to make this work.
