48h+ option on Recent Torrents

Added bonus 1: if the seeder has any problems that also gives them time to sort them out before they impact you.

Added bonus 2, particularly with popular content: the seed/leech ratio will be much better after a day or two so your download will complete much faster.

Risking to sound obviously wrong, but in good faith I ask...

Can TPB have a "recent torrents" 48h+ option? I want to check on the new torrents on my favorite categories in better ways.
Scrolling down the huge ammount of recent torrents is too hard for a lazy pirate like me. Angel

Also should we put this Spud's post on top/sticky?  https://torrentfreak.com/stop-downloadin...ts-071204/ 
Would avoid the noobs making lotta silly questions / reports. Blush

(Edit) Note: Some services mentioned in TF's article are currently not working, an updated guide could help.

Thanks!

If we built it, they wouldn't come.

It would only be used by the small minority of people who understood why it was a good idea (them being the exact group of people who don't really need it).

The ignorant majority, who all download as much as possible as soon as possible--who are the ones who really need it--would never use it; because it wouldn't show the latest torrents.

Lol I see your point, but it is kinda paradox.
Not that I download as much or as soon as possible, but you're right, it is a thing I could use occasionally and favor leeching.

Oh well, democracy is doing what works for the greater good, even if most people are stupid or lazy.
Guess no fun for this one lazy here but thanks anyway Wink

I think 48h would cause some peers to be confused, I say we stick to 24h or how it is.

Wait, I meant to have an option - like a button to filter as desired, or a page "not so recent torrents", whatever.
But guess it won't pass in any way as Sid explained TPB's view. Btw, mods should hate this forum category... Blush Rolleyes
