4 Years of BTN - Some Personal Thoughts




Past year has been crazy, lots of old staffers moving on, some coming back once more. Lots of new faces in the staff as well as in userbase, love you all. Caution: stats will follow. We've just breached magical 100,000 torrent mark few weeks back, which is amazing pit stop for all of us. On average, BTN's users have ratio of 1.28, astonishing for ratiofree tracker. Mean number of seeders per torrent is sitting nicely at 11.85, while mean number of snatches per alive torrent at 103.09. Total amount of snatches is around 28.1 million, which equates to 846 snatches per active user. Year ago, classes from Users up to Masters consisted of 30,385 guys/gals, today we're at whopping 32,721. Around 300 new torrents are uploaded daily, including foreign releases.

I couldn't have imagined writing birthday post for 4th cakeday year ago, funny how we end up in these places. Its time to think back all the things that these wonderful 4 years have brought us, sure, some of us haven't been here as long, though we can reminisce about the first thing we remember. Lets make 5th running year the most memorable yet! We wish to especially thank all content providers/uploaders, you're the ones giving us endless hours of quality TV. On behalf of the whole staff of BTN: thank you for being a member, all this would be in vain without you guys to support us.
