**This is not an idea for the client qBitorrent! It is for possibly changing a bittorrent trackers software.**
I know of trackers where you have to seed endless amount of time before your ratio is >| 1.0. This does not motivate anyone of us, and a lot of humans want to cancel partiating of the torrent-download in their BitTorrent-client.
I propose:
Two weeks seeding algorithm with a bonuspoint base(like HDBits).
When more than half of the torrents are actively seeded in two weeks(no event= stopped), than get extra bonus point over your activity you already have. With this system end users should be able to trade those points for extra upload count. This would make users ratio saved.
My question:
Would this accelerate a swarm, and so motivate users to ‘just’ download torrents 'more easily'?
I my mind this would make humans less defensive to download a torrent on populair BitTorrent-trackers.

OR
Don't use trackers that "enforce a ratio"
AND
That is not a protocol 'enhancement' of any kind. The trackers that force a ratio to be kept is where that should be pitched to, it is not something that BitTorrent requires at protocol level.

Where did you see me talking about a protocol?
Re: Bonus points idea for populair trackers.
Tracker communication with clients IS part of the protocol.It is for possibly changing a bittorrent trackers software.
