'The Scene' music BitTorrent tracker - Now a ratio free site

[anon]

When browsing through the usual file sharing forums today, I came across several recent threads about TheScene.Ro music tracker (TSCN). Since this was not exactly a brand new torrent site, i decided to check what the renewed buzz was all about. Ever since we featured it for the first time last January, TheScene.Ro has apparently undergone several changes in the last few months, One of the major changes is that the site has now become a ratio free tracker. In the meantime, TSCN has beta tested an automatic torrent upload script with some good results. Additionally, 3500 inactive accounts have been pruned and public registrations have been made available once again.

The tracker is open right now.

For now, the only rule kept is that all users must make at least an amount of 300 mb / monthly , for not getting disabled

milibits - shouldn't be too hard

Hopefully (for them) they meant megabytes

HD-Bits.ro-style? Well, at least it's not 10GB this time.

So I have to fake 300 MB every month:)...now trackers are asking for intense cheating instead of banning cheaters.Anyway Ratio Faker works there..just use "set my upload 1.000-1.500 times my download"

I think the original intention is only keeping active members Still, it's a nuisance for members that for one reason or the other can't move that amount of traffic every month (small bandwidth, ISP limitations, lack of time, etc.).

Any ideas about if they disable this requirement when your account is parked?

Well I can't find the park option in the user cp..

That's kind of silly nonsense. To force users go log in and download (and upload) 300mb/ monthr. I personnally don't agree with that.

Never mind faking/ That's a differnent thing. It's actually no different than bitme.org, except that with them, if you have a high enough ratio and enough DL/ UP amounts, they don't consider you for disablement.

if we had to choose between:

- no ratio, minimum monthly upload
- ratio, no minimum monthly upload

...there is a catch for every system, i'd probably be pro 'no ratio' system because:

- you can download a lot (with ratio you have to choose, even when cheating) and have a wide selection for uploading
- minimum seed time applies (if its a must it can be irritating, if its a choice between time seeded & ratio acquired then its a better system)
- you have to login monthly (just about the same everywhere)
- minimum monthly upload - the only real downfall as it forces activity even if the minimum amount isn't too high, a better system would be to allow cumulative minimums to span a wider time, like 3-4 months, so you wouldn't be banned instantly if you miss a monthly minimum
