"Only two months ago we celebrated our fifth birthday, but today we have something at least equally worth celebrating: the other day we passed the one million perfect FLAC torrents.

It shows just how much we as a site and community have grown in these five years. To thank you all for being part of our community, enriching the site with your presence just as with the music you are sharing alike

To celebrate this, there is a one week sale in the Bonus Shop.

There is one other item of news worth mentioning. A long standing aggravation concerns people who have the misfortune to find themselves on ratio watch. Up until now, being on ratio watch means you cannot download any further torrent files. This is a little help to someone who is still in possession of the downloaded data but no longer has the torrent files that would allow them to reseed the data, reduce their required ratio and generally join in the fun again. Automated *arr snatching tools are particularly notorious at being careless about torrent files.

A new code change changes this situation. If you have registered a complete snatch on a download, you can now always download the torrent file, regardless of whether you are on ratio watch or not. The tracker, it goes with out saying, will prevent you from downloading any more data, but you should be able to force check your download and get it seeding again.

You do not need to use a freeleech token either. Since no data can be transferred, it will not cost you a byte. With this, you should be able to reseed everything you snatched, reduce your required ratio and move out of ratio watch.

Onwards to the next million!

With all our love
