Rationator 2.0 Requirements
-
Rationator 2.0 is online
After careful consideration and observing the effects of the minimum ratio being set at .250, we have decided to implement minimum ratios based on the table below. Some of the factors we have taken into consideration are:1. Torrents are not being properly seeded and are becoming dead in a significantly shorter period of time.
2. We are getting feed back from Uploaders informing us that they can not upload new torrents because too many members are leeching one of their torrents and are not seeding after they have completed the download. The Uploader is therefore seeding for a longer period of time.
3. The surprising number of members who support either keeping the old ratio of .350 or raising the ratio even higher. Looking at the Poll numbers on the Home page, 31% of members fall into that category. We expected results of 10% to 20%.
4. Reviewing all the comments in the different Forum issues, we could not find ONE good reason for keeping a low ratio, but many valid arguments for a higher ratio.
