Upload Rewards?

yngmstr

I understand what you are saying,

BUT the only thing you have uploaded, has 73 of the 223 seeding it now… uploaded less than 2 days ago

Not everyone seeds like they should, or maybe a bunch of those people have already seeded 1 to 1, are you disappointed and frustrated that there are not 223 people seeding it? the required ratio is .350

You do it for the love of it. If you feel that your work in creating a torrent is not met with the utmost you deserve, then you have a choice to make. It isn't up to GU to make you happy it is up to the people that have leeched the file from you...

GU as a whole has a great s/l ratio I think last time I saw it quoted it was 4/1

Again, on private sites you don't do it for the "love of it" unless you are a newbie, retired with nothing to do and uploading is your greatest thrill in life or because you see yourself as a benevolent person. You do it because you want to reach a targeted audience, in this case the gay computer user.

Put it on a public site - which reaches a much wider audience - and you will reach any user finding your upload. There you do it for "the love of it" or the thrill of seeing your offering being spread around the world. You expect people to hit and run.

It would behoove private sites to say to the uploader, "Bring your file here, seed it successfully, and we'll bestow an additional set of points on you to encourage a steady stream of files being made available and making our site the most popular.

Uploaders have to weigh the options. Public or private - which one is the more beneficial.

Actually, he's uploaded more than that, but he regularly has a fit and deletes his uploads. It's almost like a monthly cycle. :whistle:

Anyway, to get an idea of where he's coming from, you can read all of his posts so far on this site.

http://tracker.gaytor.rent/userhistory.php?action=viewposts&id=30729

Notice that every post he has made is a direct or indirect complaint about GT.ru or an advertisement for his favorite torrent site.

As much as he hates us, he sure gets a lot of stuff from here.

I have a fine ratio and regularly support this site by staying connected and helping to seed other uploads. I also support this site with uploads directly to members for reposting to this site in an effort to improve their own ratios. When I look through the directories I see a great many of my files uploaded by friends I've made here and supplied directly through FTP methods. Perhaps raphjd is frustrated because I no longer donate cash in support of this website. I donate to other websites because I want to see them flourish and respect their efforts.

This is a private site benefiting those who run it, not the supporters per se much less the uploaders. Without uploaded product they don't have much to offer. I see many members have moved on to other more popular and friendlier gay torrent websites.

My question has been answered. Uploaders are not rewarded directly for their efforts other then the self-satisfaction of giving to others. I will spread the good word.

Well thanks, and see ya…

I can't recall any members only sites that gives you something extra for uploading things, 'cept thanks from other members and better ratio.

yngmstr

no FOOF I heard that [ LIVE LINK REMOVED ] gives a dollar a torrent…

raphjd

I've never heard of a site that pays people to upload.

I wonder what kind of system they have that they can be able to do that. The costs are very high running a torrent site, so they must be making a ton of money in some way.

This is a quote from a previous post from you Hudson

"please help me out and take the time to download and get it seeded. I want to spread the wealth of these great films."

I think enough has been said.

in another thread you claimed to have a 9meg connection, i'm assuming that's download only.
generally, that would mean you should have at least 1meg up. right?
if so, you shouldn't need any "rewards".
i know you had issues with your connection or client set up in the past, solve them and sharing should be a non issue.
learn how to set up your connection properly, start an upload before you go to bed, and when you wake up it will be seeded.
i bet you can upload about twice as fast as you have been.
you should be able to surf the web and have fast downloads while uploading at 80-90% of your line capacity.
my last upload, 1.1GB, seeded in a few (maybe 6) hours with a 1meg upload connection set at 92KB (it goes haywire if i set it around 100KB, speed tests show 950-1000kbps )
it doesn't take much effort to seed a torrent here.
or maybe you are not getting the service you are paying for?

my reward is sharing and being able to download whatever i want because i have a good ratio.

Nope, I'm frustrated with your constant bitching about this site while you are still getting downloads from us. If you hate this site as much as you repeatedly claim, then leave.

I am unpaid staff, therefore I do not care whether you donate.
