Question: Is the site also available in English since all the screenshots are in Hungarian?

There's no option to change to English from profile account , The only way is to use google translate ,
But after a while you get used to it AND you will manage Hungarian too

One of the most underrated trackers in the world. Probably because it's Hungarian. They have all the English torrents of course and it's also ratioless which is really useful. I personally love ncore and i use it in daily basis.

Some info not covered in the review


Point system

The aim of our point system is to value user-activity on the site. On the other hand, some functionalities (eg. torrent request, invitaton) are only available with points.

If somebody tries to meddle with the point system, they will be banned immediately!
After registration every user starts with 0 point (but will get 1 point for logging in).

You can get points by the following activities:

• Upload a torrent (after approval): 5 points (for as many torrents as your user class allows you to upload daily)
• Upload a requested torrent: as many points as has been offered by the requesting user (after approval)
• Daily log in: 1 point (you can get 1 point each day for visiting the site)
• 100 MB upload a day: 1 point (only once each day)
• 1 GB download a day: 1 point (only once each day)

Point deductions and their scales:

• 1 warning: -100 points
• Any other malpractice: -2 points

Available discounts for points:

• Request a torrent for points at the torrent request page
• Add points to a request
• 1 invitation: -1000 points

When a user has a warning, they can't collect points until it expires.
We check daily logs in Hungarian timezone.
Points for daily average rank are given at midnight each day.
Points for weekly average rank are given on each Sunday at midnight.
Points for monthly average rank are given on the first day of each month at midnight.

There will be other possibilities (eg. games) to collect points in the future.
The staff does not give points to anybody, don't ask for them! Begging for points is followed by a warning, which leads to point deduction.

Ratio Free (Hit and Run Guide

What does hit'n'run mean?
When someone downloads a torrent but does not seed it back in turn, it's called a hit'n'run. Upload ratio expectations and the time available to fulfil them are detailed under the seed requirements section.

Why do we need this new system?
The traditional ratio system had been distorted for many reasons (including the steady increase of internet bandwidth, upload multipliers, free torrents, freeleech periods and built-in buffers), so keeping a good ratio had not been encouraging enough to keep users in seed. However, without multipliers and the occasional free grabs, keeping up with the minimum ratio would be difficult for low-bandwidth users, and increasing the minimum ratio requisite would not make a significant difference, either.

This new system values truly active users and increases torrent lifetime by cutting back on hit'n'runs.

What are the seed requirements?
If you download more than 5% OR more than 200 MB of any torrent (whichever you reach first), seed requirements apply. You have two ways to complete these obligations:
- Seed back the content (1.0 ratio)
- Stay in seed for a duration (at least 48 hours, depending on the size of the content)

The amount to upload back equals the amount of content you downloaded from the torrent. So the goal is to reach a 1.0 ratio on each of your torrents.
The minimum seed time on seed-required torrents is 48 hours, plus an additional 0.4 hours (24 minutes) per GB of downloaded content (e.g. seed time on a 10 GB film is 48 hours + 10 * 0.4 hours = 52 hours). Your ratio on the torrent will also shorten your seed time dynamically (e.g. uploading half of the content will shorten seed time by half).

Spoiler elrejtése
Time left = (1 - ratio) * (48 + 0.4 * downloaded amount) - seed duration
- ratio = upload/download ratio of the torrent
- downloaded amount = amount of content downloaded from the torrent
- seed duration = time spent seeding the torrent


You can complete these requirements either in one go or with small breaks, it's your choice. The system will only check the status of your requirements at the end of the month. This means the time you have to fulfil the seed requirement on a torrent is somewhere between 2 weeks and 6 weeks. Only at the end of a month will the system check if your torrents were properly shared back or not (e.g. number of seeded torrents, hit'n'runs). At the end of each month, torrents older than 14 days will be removed from your Activity tab.

17. Nov. 1. Dec. 31. Dec. 44 days
30. Nov. 14. Dec 31. Dec. 31 days


Furthermore, you are allowed to ignore the seed requirements on an allotted number of torrents, depending on your current user class.
You can keep track of your seed requirements, your successfully seeded torrents and your hit'n'runs under the Activity menu.

Ranking
User activity is measured by rankings. Do not forget that this is a ladder, so it's value depends on other users' activity as well.
Activity measurement has many factors, you can read about these here.
Important! Ranking is a positive encouragement only (point system), nobody is sanctioned because of it, not even the very last user.

Ranking types:
Daily rank: Activity each day from 00:01 to 24:00.
Weekly rank: Activity from Monday, 00:01 to Sunday, 24:00.
Monthly rank: Activity from first day of the month, 00:01 to last day of the month, 24:00.

This means that ranking measurements are reset at 00:00, every day for daily ranks, every Monday for weekly ranks, and on the first day of the month for monthly rankings.

Some minutes may pass between the distribution of daily, weekly and monthly ranks. As a result, there may be some discrepancy between the daily and weekly ranks on Monday, or the daily and monthly ranks on the first day of the month.

The infobar shows your current monthly ranking (after your user name, points and upload amount).

Activity menu
You can access your activity menu here. It shows your seed required torrents, finished seeds for 2 weeks after download, your current daily, weekly and monthly ranks, and the number of finished and hit'n'run torrents, together with the number of hit'n'run allowance. (your hit'n'runs / monthly allowed hit'n'runs).

Torrent data (Updated, Status, Up, Down, Time left, Ratio) are updated on the first "announce" after the download started (30-44 minutes).
You can manually force an announce if you want to see the actual data on your tab. For example, in uTorrent you can right click on any torrent and choose "Update tracker".
Other announce-triggering actions:
- Stopping the torrent.
- Closing the client gracefully (hibernating your computer won't do this!)

Table legend:
Start: When you started downloading.
Updated: Time since your client sent an update of the torrent to the tracker.
Status:
- Seed: Torrent 100% downloaded
- Leech: Torrent runs, but isn't 100% downloaded
- Stopped: Torrent doesn't run, or announce wasn't sent since starting it.
Up: Amount of data uploaded.
Down: Amount of data downloaded.
Time left: Minimum time you are required to stay in seed.
Ratio: ...Or until a ratio of 1.0 is reached

The table also has a simple colour code. Status, Time left and Ratio columns are coloured green for finished torrents, and a different colour depending on the site's skin for unfinished torrents.

Sanctions
Those who have more hit'n'runs in a month than their user class allows for are sanctioned.
These users have their download rights revoked beginning from 00:01 on the first day of the next month. Sanctioning happens at the last day of the month, and only torrents that were downloaded at least 14 days prior are evaluated. Torrents that you downloaded less than 14 days ago will only be evaluated next month.

Closing of a month happens a couple of hours earlier than usual, so make sure not to leave your seed required torrents until the very last hours.

First 3 occasions: Download revoked for 3 days.
4. occasion: Download revoked for 15 days.
5. occasion and further: Download revoked for 30 days.

The worst 1% will be punished with permanent download rights removal.

This time period can be redeemed with a Premium subscription. (So you won't have to wait * days to download again)
After the penalty expires, offenders will be able to download again, but will be subject to increased scrutiny.

Activity Measurement Formula

Help! My rank is N/A!
Don't panic! At the beginning of every month this replaces your rank until the first system refresh.


Many of you asked how the system calculates your ranks. Well, the formula is now public, but it is subject to change without notice.

The system generates a number with the same formula for everybody, then these numbers are sorted to get the rankings. The numbers (let's call it VALUE) is calculated with the following algorithm:


VALUE=up(interval)*avg(torrdate)*time*seedsize*sca le_torrnum*regdate*upload*owntorr


None of the variables in the formula can be 0! Where this would happen, it is replaced with a logical number (usually 1).

The meanings of these variables are the following:

up(interval): The amount of uploaded data (in the last week or in the last seeding period)

avg(torrdate): The average age of your running torrents (in the last week or in the last seeding period)

time: All your running torrents' seed-time (summed) (in the last week or in the last seeding period)

seedsize: The size of your running torrents (summed) (in the last week or in the last seeding period)

scale_torrnum: Multiplier generated by the number of your running torrents (in the last week or in the last seeding period)

number of torrents value
0-10 1
11-25 1.5
26-75 2
76-150 2.5
151-250 3
251+ 3.5

regdate: Multiplier generated by the years spent on the site from your registration

upload: Multiplier generated from the total amount of your uploaded data (since registration)

owntorr: Multiplier generated by the number of your uploaded torrents
