Triangle symbol at the start of some torrent titles?
-
Hi,
Sorry if this has been asked & answered before, I did look around the forum but couldn't find anything about it, I might not be looking for the right keyword?
What does the triangular shaped character at the start of some torrents mean? e.g. "♺ House of Usher (2008)" hxxps://www.gaytor.rent/details.php?id=49657&hit=1
Cheers ;D

This has indeed not been announced or explained, yet.
It is a recycle symbol, which you might know from packaging assorted with a material indiction, like "PS-HD" or "04"(here bigger shown):
♺
We use it to identify torrents which have been promoted to the top of the list. Promoting is done by changing the "Added" date and time to the current time. You'll find then the original upload date indicated at the beginning of the description, for example "Original upload: 2012-01-13 |"
Remark: It might be worthwhile to check if it hasn't been downloaded upon, to avoid double downloads.
We have internal procedures to decide which torrents to promoted. It is not as random as it might look. Most of the time, since we got the freeleech, it promotion is combined with a freeleech period.
Some will have noticed the ~dead? tag assorted with promoted torrents. These are torrents which had for long time no activity and/or no completed download for months. We send reseed requests and promote them to see if a seeder pops -up. If no it will be deleted a week later.

No not at all. There is an equal treatment of all torrents. Taste of team (members) is not a criteria to promote a torrent.
The criteria include (not exhaustive):
- long time "dead" (no activity counter, no completed downloads for months)
- requested "dead"
- help of low ratio members being the only seed (re-seed)
- etc …
