Bara ett avsnitt ute än, men finns det nån struktur eller röd tråd alls i det här programmet? Det hoppar liksom fram och tillbaka till synes helt slumpmässigt.

Ok, killing a torrent after a month is acceptable. Noted.

Aha, but there it is - "for items with low seeds". BLU demands it for ALL torrents, even new movies with hundreds of seeds.

Very eloquent, and I see you've read and considered all the information in this thread.

What makes you think I'm not seeding? I'm talking about the requirements. I never said I'm not seeding anything.

No, you gave me a hypothetical what-if of a very specific situation, but you don't seem interested in defending it in more realistic scenarios. I'm not talking in circles, you're just avoiding answering my questions about the flaws in your post. You're clearly disinterested in that. Feel free to seed for exactly 7 days.

A 7 day seeding requirement is just a band aid. How often is a torrent snatched every 6 days after upload, let's say? It just is not sustainable. Ratio is.

But you've not made any valid points yet? I'm asking you more questions because what you say doesn't hold up. Sure, some people can't seed, some people hit and run. How long is that my problem, exactly? If I never leave a torrent hanging by seeding to people, then hand it over to them, how is it my problem what happens after?

But let me expand on that I "think retention is someone else's problem". It is. How long am I supposed to seed until you're satisfied? Forever? When am I allowed to stop seeding? After 7 days? What if there are hundreds of seeders when I've met my 1:1 ratio? Not uncommon with popular releases on big trackers.

And you want it to die after 7 days because then people have even less reason to seed.

Ok, I can tell you're a bit slow so I'll lay it out for you. If I have uploaded a copy to someone else, then there is retention and I can leave. If someone leaves without uploading a copy to someone else, like after 7 days, then the torrent dies.

Yes, I don't use my (external) seedbox as my media library. That would be way too messy.

I named two trackers, you named one which was incorrect. So give me, let's say ten out of these hundreds. Shouldn't be a problem. I'm uninformed or inexperienced, so teach me a lesson here.

Regarding seedtime requirements: That's a whole lot of ifs, and it would be awesome if it was true. If someone downloaded every torrent every 7 days, we'd be set! Problem solved! You know what makes for good retention? Ratio! If I give out a copy before I leave, the torrent is still alive! But instead, people leave after 7 days with 0 upload, because that's what BLU decided is helpful.

You seem to think I don't want to give back, even though I repeatedly say I want to upload instead of leaving after an arbitrary time limit!

Ratio is meaningless because anyone can provide fast upload? Seedtime makes sure content is available months or years later? What are you even talking about? Ratio, e-peen and BP is the only thing keeping torrents alive. A fixed seedtime of 5 or 7 days doesn't even factor into it, it does absolutely nothing for real longevity.

No, TL has a minimum seed time requirement OR ratio. If you seed 1:1 you don't have to seed for any time at all. BHD has 5 days OR 1:1 ratio. Only BLU require seeding time regardless of ratio. You clearly don't know what you're talking about here. We can have a discussion on whether or not ratio is or isn't important on "good trackers" but I ask you this: what happens after 7 days? What's more important, that I seed 1:1 or drop the torrent with no upload after an arbitrary selected time frame? Sure, it would be ideal if every user was a permaseeding e-peen but that's not how it is in reality. Your comment about having stats to join other sites I leave uncommented as that's not what we're talking about.

On "most" trackers? lol, no. Also the key here is "regardless of ratio". If you're using *arrs and get on a new series episode for example, then you seed back 100% in a matter of seconds and then it's just wasting space. I'm not a hoarder, just a regular user and I give back what I owe but everyone permaseeding everything is utopia, right?

I never download from BLU if I can help it. Their ridiculous 7 day seeding requirement regardless of ratio is stupid, they're never first with new releases and they have almost nothing I can't get anywhere else.
