why are u so worried choc? ur ratio is pretty good... ur suggestion is gud in theory but somethin like that cant really be implemented... becoz a p2p community survives and thrives becoz ppl seed back atleast an equal amount of wht they DL... if we moved to time based ratios, then after 3 wks or so nothin wud be available here... ppl wudnt bother seedin any of the older stuff... and that wud just be bad for the newcomers.
