What is considered a fair donation of seed points for someone if I download their torrent?
No such thing ...
‘Seed Bonus’ is a way of encouraging members to seed files.
The bonus is computed on how many hours you leave any files on ‘seed’.
For every hour you have a file (or multiple files) seeding you get .5 points for every hour. In other words you get ONE point for every TWO hours you seed!
The bonus you get depends on your choice.
There are four levels of ‘bonus’ (the bonus is the number of GB’s that will be added to your “Total Upload” number.
The levels you can choose from are:
Seed Bonus Points - Upload GB Bonus
100 - 1.0 GB
200 - 2.5 GB
350 - 5.0 GB
600 - 10.0 GB
YOU chose when and at what level you want to get your Bonus Points,
just click on the “Seed Bonus” and it will allow you to select to use your points to increase your upload amount and thus improve your ratio.
Remember that your ratio is calculated as upload amount divided by download amount.
So increased upload will also increase your ratio.
- Seed bonus points can be used to put a torrent on freeleech status for a certain period of time.
Freeleech torrents do NOT count against your ratio (download amountl) as long as it remains on freeleech.
Seed bonus points used to put a torrent on freeleech are not given to the original uploader,
but are instead is a community donation for freeleech by all users.
If you upload a new torrent, you might get rewarded by other users with seedbonus.
