What's the maximum ammount of bonus seed points that can be obtained by uploading screenshots to ONE torrent? 10 points? 1 point for each valid screenshot? What if I upload 20 valid screenshots, will I still get 10 bonus points?

MrMazda

This depends, as some torrents will allow you to upload more than 10 pictures to a torrent. That being said, it is one SBP per picture that gets approved.

@lsheperd:

Is there any specific filter to find torrents that need screenshots/covers?
I need those bonus seedpoints.

Just curious, Why do you need the seedpoints? According to your stats, you have a ratio of 1.8, which is nearly twice as high as balanced, and double-plus any danger zone.

Just kidding. I'm improving my ratio so I can download some huge HD collections later.

Another question about uploading screenshots/covers…
I've found an ebook that doesn't have images.
Is it okay to upload screenshots of its text/words pages?

MrMazda

Yes… If that is what the true content of the torrent is, then pictures of the pages showing the text would be accepted, as they're considered to be an accurate representation of the contents of the torrent.

One way of doing it is, if you have the book, scan it and save it to your computer and upload it

MrMazda

If you're using a Windows based computer, you can always pull up the PDF (or whatever format it's in), so as do display it on your screen, then press the Print Screen key on your keyboard. From there, you can paste the screen dump into a program like Paint, then crop the result to just the section that displays the content… Then, simply save the resulting image, and you have yourself a reasonable image to upload to accurately depict the content.

Thanks for the great info!

So… I just uploaded a torrent.
Seed point-wise, is it better to upload just 1 picture while editing the torrent and only then, after the upload is completed, adding more screenshots to it?
In other words, is there any difference for providing 1, 10 or 20 pictures while submitting a new torrent? Are there any bonus seed points for those screenshoots that are uploaded with the torrent?

Yes to your 1st question
To your 2nd question, if you just uploaded 1 pic at the same time you uploaded a torrent, you can add more with SBP to boost for each picture approved by the mod. With 10 and 20 pics upload same time with the torrent, you cannot add anymore pic(s)for an extra SBP. To your last question - None

Just for clarification, I thought I read somewhere that screen shots were to be kept down to 10? It was a post regarding screen shots that were deemed "spamming" I think, and had to do with people sticking things up just in order to drive up points. I am getting ready to do a rather large upload, if the cap is 20 that would make my job infinitely more easy!
