I'm on MAM + other private trackers. MAM isn't particularly strict on rules, and it's ridiculously easy to have a positive ratio there what with all the freebies.

Private trackers are designed to make sure there's always plenty of seeders. They mostly do that by enforcing that people maintain a certain ratio - i.e. don't just hit and run. (There's other advantages like that you can request re-seeds and the system will message previous seeders but that's besides the point) You can't force people to maintain ratio if it's easy to game the system - that's why there are these rules about IP addresses.

Many torrent clients are broken, or just lie about their upload stats. Those clients are banned, as are other that are broken in ways that cause others problems. Phones are a terrible source to download from - signal issues, limiting battery usage, etc. They just waste download slots that could be used for real clients on real connections.

Where is all the freedom on that shit?

Are you serious? You're getting this stuff completely for free and you're whining that there's a few house rules. Entitled, much?

This is the part I don't get, atp you could even ask for a subscription or payment for a well managed private tracker and I think it'd be worth it for a large number of people.

Why are we complaining about free media again???
