@eurisko:

I have uploaded far more than I've downloaded

You have a ratio of about 1.9. That's not really "far more" than you've downloaded.

You may want to consider the time when the download was initiated to completion considering that I began when it was free.

That's not how freeleech works on any private tracker I'm a member of.

It makes your site look shite since the expiry restrictions are so dramatic.

As compared to what site that operates freeleech in the way you want it to be operated? None of them do it that way.

I start a freeleech download, I don't want or need it to expire one hour or minute before I was helping.

Then pay attention to when freeleech ends before you download something.

At this rate I won't get a decent ration.

Seems like your problem if you can't manage your own torrent usage. I've never, ever had a ratio problem here, even from before I had my seedbox.

You're not the only site on the internet..

No, but for the type of content this is one of only a couple that are worth anything.
