Have they done selective free leech only on certain pre-chosen torrents?
-
yeah some sites will do like editors' picks freeleech for specific favorite torrents, which is basically them propagating their tastes
-
ah, so interesting
-
on what, when an influential artist like david bowie died, their entire discography would be freeleech
-
I would love to see the data on demand elasticity with freeleech

i remember http://what.cd had like a really low download/upload sitewide ratio so at some point they just were spamming freeleech days to alleviate the ratio
-
it feels like power grid management a little, you want 1:1 production and consumption, anything else is a waste or a strain

They also hand out freeleech "tokens" (1 per download) to reward users for uploading torrents, filling requests or seeding a large number of torrents. They further incentivize activities that would normally increase your ratio.
