Thread: SCENEHD

Some additions. These make SceneHD more difficult to seed and make buffer than it's been before, imho.

In the past few months we have been discussing several way how we could improve on the bonus system, since it is an essential part of SceneHD. After long deliberation and some coding work, we are proud to present to you the following changes. You will notice that we already made a pass at one of the changes below, but decided to rework it after getting a lot of critical feedback from our users, so here is the new version accompanied by two improvements to sweeten the deal:

Upload bonus on archive torrents

Depending on the number of seeders or the age of an archive torrent, you will receive more upload from certain torrents:

Upload Multiplier	Seeders	Torrent's Age
1.5	5 (2) or less	2 years
2.0	2 (1) or less	3 years
3.0	1 (-) or less

(values for freeleech torrents in parenthesis)


Changes to freeleech packs

On new freeleech packs there will be certain restrictions in place for the first 24 hours:
Quote:

<6h old: 5% of upload counted <12h old: 10% of upload counted <18h old: 25% of upload counted <24h old: 50% of upload counted After one day, upload will count fully for packs. The uploader and users with a ratio of less than 2.0 or with less than 250GiB upload (e.g. HD Lovers) will always receive the full 100% of upload.

Archive freeleech (packs) count towards your bonus percentage

ALL archive freeleech (blue font, green background) will now play a role in determining the percentage of archive upload counted for your weekly bonus. You will still have to seed non-freeleech archive material, since the bonus is multiplicative.

Freeleech archive data	Percentage
200GiB	41.3%
400GiB	65.5%
800GiB	88.1%
1600GiB	98.6%
3200GiB	~100%

Changes to bonus system calculations

Variable a has been increased to 188000000000 bytes (188GB, 40 DVDs), meaning you will have to make more non-freeleech archive data available to get to 100% counted.
