they've changed the ratio requirements lately as well to make it a bit easier. as i read it, if you seed everything you've downloaded for at least 72 hours a week you won't ever get a ratio requirement.

Pretty much, they realised that most people don't own seedboxes and such, so as long as they show they're 'trying' to share content (instead of doing a hit-and-run on torrents), they shouldn't be punished with a ban.

Brilliant stuff.


Also, they used to give invites in their IRC channel, not sure if things changed or not (I got mine about a couple of weeks after it launched). Sadly, I don't have a great enough ratio to get any more invites
And, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but chances are if someone else has an invite to share - they wouldn't. It's stressed that the ratio of the person you invite, could reflect your own standing on the site.

It's based on uploads of people you invite so again, as long as they try you can get bumped up ranks with them

they should run it like The Box, with different grades of torrent.
