for those wondering how good can it be to use the seedbox, just look at the ratios of SJmike, cjlcooter and myself.

too much GB uploaded to our accounts because we seeded our shows using the seedbox

We also didn't put any limits (so far) on the number of different locations (IP's) for each user but if we find anyone abusing it we will put it to use.

The donation for ratio is the last possibility a user can think... We have it because some people may prefer to pay than to share (some have bandwidth limits, time limits, crappy connections, etc).

But like LeperMessiah26 said, $10 for a Gig is just too much...

No,i was saying put the price up to $10 for every 1gb...that would put people off not sharing

Instead of...I`ll just download this 4gb show...but i cant be arsed to seed it back..i`ll just pay to get my ratio back..then they see it`ll cost em $40 to get it back..they may actually just keep the the window open...i know i would!!!

Im with you duder. set $10 for 1 gb. and maybe $35 for 4 gb. and so on. that would, like leper said, make people seed alot more. and keep their window open.. Im lucky that i have a nice connection so i dont have to pay :P And since i dont have alot of shows that you guyz dont have.. I give back to the community by seeding the show for a few weeks :)

Yet the guys here have to take into account Server Costs. That stuff isn't cheap, so this will also help to pay server costs

Server costs aren't involved in this. The tracker itself doesn't use many server resources.

You (and everyone else) can always post a repeated concert if the quality is better than the previous one :)

here is my idea for everyone who downloads a torrent (from Metapge) no matter if it is a audio torrent or a video torrent, i think it is only fair if anyone who downloads something uploads the exact same amount they downloaded, this will keep the hit & run people out of here, and if they do not abide by the rules then i think they should be banned from downloding any torrents it is just my personal opinon...

well a ratio 1:1 would be so hard to keep. but i guess we are fine now with the .75 ratio, the members will seed more once the automatic enforcement is working.

yes i know that look at the torrents almost everyone of them there is only a couple people who actually keep uploading when they have finished all the others get the torrent then close there windows, i am just saying i think thats the way it should be give what you download back as a upload. i personally believe this is the only way for people to give back from what they have taken..
