The Fifth Horseman Kosta will be around in early October. He's the only person with the authority to decide on this matter - regardless how much power us admins might wield around the site and forum, this kind of thing is beyond our right to decide.

Hi, bob-satan. I guess I'm not quite following your question. Anyone can seed a torrent, including the machine/user that is running a tracker.

The reason I suggested doing a private tracker is partly to avoid the situation of seedless torrents. If there's some kind of share:leech ratio enforcement, it promotes leaving game torrents seeding in the background--and helps reduce the number of abandoned torrents.

Did any admins come to a decision about this? I know it'd be a rather difficult undertaking, but I think it'd be worth it--just to see the larger/cdrom games shared with a wider group of people.

Sounds good, and quite understandable.

GTX2GvO Yeah a private tracker for abandonia games could be useful..
But it shouldn't end up the same way as HotU is dealing it's torrents..

(Torrents are around but No one is seeding,... On any torrent :mad

Abandonia needs to check regularly and Automatically whether a certain torrent is still having any seeds left and handle dead torrents according pre-set rules..

Well.. That's just my opinion... :amused:

Gotcha--sounds like things are already taken care of, then. (But if anyone thinks running a tracker would provide any advantages, my offer still stands.)
