Seeding Bonus

On the tracker, there is a list of the torrents with seeding bonuses available.

Torrents with a Seeding Bonus have a blue spinning number beside.

Upload Amount Example
If a torrent has, for example, 3x Seeding Bonus, this means that the amount of upload you do while you are seeding or stealth-seeding will be multiplied by three.

If you upload 5 GB while you are downloading the torrent, the tracker will count your upload as 5 GB.

But if you upload 10 GB while you are seeding or stealth-seeding the same torrent (and while it is still with the 3x Seeding Bonus), the tracker will count you uploaded 3 x 10 GB, which is equal to 30 GB.

On this case, the total upload is 5 GB + 30 GB, which is equal to 35 GB.

Bonus Expiration Example
Below are the details of a torrent with 3x Seeding Bonus:



According to the image, the Bonus will be in effect only for more 1 day, 3 hours, 33 minutes and 40 seconds.

After this period is over, the torrent won't have a Seeding Bonus, which is equivalent to say that the torrent will have 1x Seeding Bonus.

Keep in mind that when a torrent that has a Seeding Bonus is free, the torrent can automatically stop being free immediately after the Seeding Bonus expires.

If you want to download the torrent only while the Seeding Bonus period is in effect, you'll have to plan ahead.

Tracker PMs
When a torrent is set free, the members that have already downloaded the torrent will receive a private message (PM) on the tracker asking the torrent to be seeded, regardless if they have already been seeding it.

Often, more than one private message about the same torrent is sent. Ignore the repeated private messages.
