It’s still available to buy direct in AU (it did go OOS but I just checked and it’s available). So hopefully that means the AU scalpers won’t get much traction

My first thought was pipe it to /dev/null but it sounds like you want it to linger for a bit before it goes into the shredder

reAdarr sorry. A radarr shutdown would have sent a lot of us into a meltdown

Yeah there’s bug fixes I’ve been following for 3-4 years that have no traction, I wouldn’t hold your breath. Considering readar just got discontinued I wouldn’t be totally surprised if the same happened to lidarr.

Mechanics I’ve seen to avoid this:

• Occasional sitewide freeleech
• bonus points for seeding duration irregardless of upload, can be traded for reducing download
• freeleech torrents (only counts upload not download)
• partial freeleech (25/50/75% download counted)
• Timed freeleech (free first 24h)
• Download % counted reduced based on seed size (seed >1tb and everything’s freeleech)
• Reduction of download % counted based on rank
• Forum competitions for bonus points/freeleech tokens
• Freeleech tokens giveouts

Hell, there’s quite a few PT’s that don’t care about ratio and just have minimum seeding times on torrents.

Plenty of these trackers have been running 1-2 decades on 1 or more of these methods just fine.

Almost every site is laughably easy to keep ratio if you read the rules/FAQ, look at some what’s to build points/ratio, read the forums, and don’t go nuts In the first week while your establishing your account
