Deester, you're testing my memory :crazy2:
But I think I was making the point with the two dead links that a large (4+GB) non-DVD torrent was available to everyone whereas a smaller DVD torrent could only be seen by 'power users'.
I find an even more sensible way is not to worry about ratios - most sites seem to have more problems getting enough downloaders rather than keeping seeders.
I use one British TV site where it is almost impossible to seed to 1 because regulars are using seedboxes or getting in immediately. At least they have the option of a freeleech of the week to allow people to catch up.
On the other hand we both know a site which doesn't monitor ratios and it allows people to get on with other stuff 😉
