Thread: Wii-Leech (WL) Review

www.wii-leech.info

Wii-Leech, as the tracker name implies, is a tracker dedicated to anything related to the Nintendo Wii console. There have been talks and polls to introduce Nintendo GameCube materials as well. The tracker is currently running off TBDEV. Wii-Leech does not have a huge peer-base like nTorrents, but you should find all of the newer Wii releases here.

:: ::Uploaders Rules

All uploaders are subject to follow the below rules in order to be a part of the uploader team. We realize that it's quite a list, and for new uploaders, it might seem a bit overwhelming, but as you spend time here, they'll become second hat.

To apply to become a site uploader use the uploaders application form, contact staff to get the link.

Torrents that do not follow the rules below will be deleted. If you have any questions about the below rules, please feel free to PM them and I will clarify as best I can.

Welcome to the team and happy uploading!

# All Uploaders must upload a minimum of 3 unique torrents each month to retain their Uploader status.
if you are going to be away, please let a staff member know so that your account is not affected.

Guidelines for rarring your own releases are as follows:

:: ::Free leech rules

From time to time we will have freeleech for 48hours. This means that when you download from site it will not count against your download ratio.

Whatever you seed back will add to your upload ratio.

This is a good opportunity for members with ratio's below 1.0 to bring them back into line

Anyone who hit and runs on a freeleech torrent will receive a mandatory 2 week warning. You must seed all torrents downloaded to 100% or for a minimum of 48 hours this is for free leech torrents only.


:: ::Downloading rules

No comments on torrents you are not about to download
Once download is complete, remember to seed for as long as possible or for a minimum of 36 hours or a ratio of 1:1
Low ratios will be given the three strike warning from staff and can lead to a total ban

Other relevant information:

Wii-Leech is one of the better places to learn anything Wii related. It's not as active nor as pretty as nTorrents, but you should be able to find what you need and get the help when you need it.

The forums are not the most active; but again, mods will usually get to you fairly quickly. There are a few other users who are also fairly active there as well.

Overall assessment:

Content - 2/5
Speed - 3/5
Pretimes - 3/5
Community - 2/5
