<![CDATA[Question about making a torrent Freeleech and seed points.]]>Hi,

Just an idle thought. When I spend seed points to make another member's torrent upload freeleech for a while, does the original uploader get those seed points, or do they go into the general void?

thanks!

@MrMazda Thank you, was just wondering as it could make for a nice big thanks to the og uploader, but them going back into the void also makes sense!

you can still make a nice big thanks by thanking multiple times, in case you didn't know it was possible, but how thankful can you be? 😂

I don't think making a torrent (mine or someone else's) freeleech has a net benefit to my seedpoints or upload count, but I have a lot of both, and sometimes I'll spend to points to freeleech an older torrent--mine or someone else's--to give it new life. There's some older stuff on here (10+ years) that will soon go to Torrent Heaven w/o being freeleeched that I think new users would find interesting.

Just my opinion, of course.
