I've been seeding two seasons and also the latest episode of Never Mind the Buzzcocks for weeks now. My ratio is still below 1.0. Boo, hiss.

Anyone know what ratio needs to be maintained before they give you the boot? I'm somewhere around .93 or something.

I signed up the other day with no invite.
It beats UKnova.

You need to maintain at least a 1.0, Laurie.  I don't know how long it takes for a warning to be sent out if you remain below that minimum. 

I was so worried about managing the ratio that I promptly donated some money to take the pressure off.  Needn't have, as it turns out, because luckily the shows I've downloaded have turned out to be popular enough that I've already surpassed my seeding requirements--in just a week.  But at least I have a nice cushion and don't have to worry at all, which makes me happy.  Why don't you send 'em 20 euros so you can breathe easy?

Because then when the appropriate government raids them, your name and bank account info won't be at the ready.

I believe I've said elsewhere that I have to indulge my self-destructive streak somehow.  My opportunities are woefully limited these days.

Actually, so innocent am I that that never occurred to me.  Oh well.  See above.

This thread feels illicit.  I'm getting contact high.

As an ex-pat who misses his comedy, I feel like this would be a good service to be a member of.

But then, I was shitting myself about Oink getting closed down, and I only used that for the audiobooks, so I think I'll stay legal.

If anyone else needs an invitation to The Box, just let me know.  I've got three.

In happier news, my ratio is at 1.3. No invites yet.

Sarah, at what point did you get invite privileges?
