What Counts as Being Inactive?
« on: November 29, 2012, 10:04:43 PM »
Do we have to seed or leech to be counted as active, or do we just need to log in? I'm asking because I am not able and will not be able to seed or leech for several months. I've already looked through the FAQ, and it didn't specify, so I'm asking here.

Thanks in advance.

FAQ:
"Will my account still exist if I don't use it for a while?
Accounts are pruned after 11 months of disuse. Accounts with 0 download and 0 upload are pruned earlier. "
Which is actually not 100% clear.
I would rather wonder about the opposite of what the OP asks: If I only seed, but never log in, will the account then be pruned? In other words: is the act of visiting the web site the only thing that counts?

I don't think not using torrents will affect anything; using the account on the web site should keep it alive.

Perhaps a slight amendment to the text in the FAQ would be good.
