关于recycled torrent的详细说明，注意最后一段。注意，这种种子在你获得足够的sp后会自动消除你相应的下载量，例如，你下载了一个4g的此类种子，sp足够后会削掉这4g下载量，相当于变相的freeleech，不过，这样并不增加你的上传量，除非你有真正的上传I see a few questions asking what these are, so I am making a thread until we get it in the FAQ.
Torrents with the recycled pic under their name are recycled/download free.
Recycled basically just means its been bumped to the top of browse, these may be torrents that were uploaded 2 years ago, popular torrents, big torrents (like PSP packs) or just if we are feeling generous, 0 day torrents.
Now for the download free.
If you download one of these torrents, there is no wait time for SP, you start gaining SP immediately after you finish downloading the torrent.
If you get SP to take your ratio to 1, then the download comes off your global ratio, for the acheivement table it stays on the actual torrent in your history.
You get to keep what you actually uploaded, we DO NOT give you the upload to 1 with SP, so as an example.
4 gig torrent, you seed it till you get SP which should equate to about 40 hours (depending on how much you actually upload), so lets say you upload 2 gig (so 20 hours to get SP). once SP reaches cost, your Download will come off your global ratio for that torrent so 4 gig in this case, but you will keep the 2 gig you uploaded (you will not get 4 gig uploaded from what SP gives you).
If you upload to 1 or above, before SP takes you to 1, you do not get the download taken off, the idea is, if you were able to upload to over 1, you must have a good connection anyway, and be able to absorb the dl.
The basic principle of this is as follows.
Members will seed torrents for longer, hoping that what they are seeding gets recycled.
Members wont be scared to download recycled torrents, because the chances are, their download comes off.
Because there is more members downloading recycled torrents, there will be more seeders, because more leechers = more seeders.
You can also search for only recycled torrents on the browse page.
The drop down with Active, Only Dead, Including Dead also has a Recycled option, select that, and click search will bring up all torrents on the site that are recycled/download free. which equates to nearly 2,000 torrents at the time of this thread.
so there you have it, any questions about this dont be afraid to ask in here.
***IMPORTANT: Your first torrent on this site should NOT be a recycled torrent. There is still a bug which results in your account being leechwarned and thus you can't do anything afterwards with your account anymore until it gets deleted after 4 weeks.***[ 此帖被snon在2010-05-25 11:09重新编辑 ]
