XSpeed: News

Happy New Year, Xspeedsters! 2024
Congratulations, you survived 2023!


The year has changed again and on behalf of staff I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas and a happy New Year!

Like last year, We'd like to announce a few changes that has happened, is happening and what's to come!

The year(s) that passed


Discord

This is old news but we like to advertise our Discord!
You can read about how to join in THIS forum post.

User uploads

Some of you might have noticed already, but we have been testing and changing our edit bot in order to catch more movies and TV. Since this is still in testing phase and more changes can happen in the future ANY TV OR MOVIE UPLOAD DO NOT HAVE TO BE EDITED BY USERS! Staff will go through all uploads and catch if the bot did not do a good job, so as usual: No editing after uploading.



Current events


VIP rework

We are changing the VIP steps to a more simple system and more consistent bonusses for buying higher tiers. Instead of jumping 1 week, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 months we are changing it to 1 week, 1, 3, 6, 12 months. See the prices as listed below:

DURING ALL OF JANUARY THERE WILL BE A DOUBLE BONUS CAMPAIGN!
This means you will receive double amount of everything (except VIP duration).
CLICK HERE to donate to site


As usual in addition to the benefits mentioned above, VIP members also receive:
- Donor star
- Custom Title
- Choose between VIP colours GREEN or PINK (GREEN is default)
- ALL torrents are freeleech (no download stats will be counted)
- x2 upload on ALL torrents!
- Can make request in VIP request section
- Fully customize your profile
- Immune to ratio warnings
- Immune to low ratio bans

Introducing "I f**ked up" upload credit donations

For whatever reason you landed under the ratio of 1.1 and seeding seems like "ain't nobody got time for dat" we are now introducing an option to users with a ratio lower than 1.1 to instabuy upload credits. See the prices below: https://i.ibb.co/3vnBXkQ/1196065.png



KEEP IN MIND this is ONLY for users with a ratio below 1.1.
If an upload credit donation goes through and you have a ratio of 1.1 or above, it will automatically be converted into VIP. Example:
£ 50 donated to upload credit but ratio is above 1.1 = 6 months (£ 45) + 1 week (£ 5) of VIP


The purge

Just like last year we have deleted old, unseeded torrents from 2022 and older. Again, this is to avoid clutter and to keep the search faster.
If a torrent, that you hoped for a reseed, has disappeared please make an upload request instead!

Invites

We have noticed more and more invites accumulating among our users but are completely unused. We have clarified the invite rules that users with bad ratio is NOT considered a "bad user". A bad user is someone who gets on site, specifically to cheat the system.
KEEP IN MIND that it is STILL not allowed to re-invite a banned user regardless of the ban reason!

New user group for newly registered users

One of the things we have noticed is that new users sometimes get a bit too excited joining our site and start mass-downloading everything resulting in bad ratio bans.
In order to make sure people understand the site and economy better, we have made a new user group ONLY for newly registered users. They are limited to 2 active downloads at a time, but can download more once completed.
To be promoted to normal user, one have to be registered for at least 2 weeks, have 25 GB upload and a ratio above 1.1.

Category rework (again)

The people have spoken and we listen!
It has been hard to do without the apps category and we understand the frustration it brought as it was removed. So we have decided to bring it back - BUT...
This category is ONLY for staff to upload. Staff will only upload from reliable sources, and although that does not make it 100 % safe, it is our compromise to actually have the category in a safer environment than the previous system.

We are also adding a sub category to TV called TV specials. This is for stand-alone TV specials, that do not belong in documentary, such as stand-up and Christmas specials.



Future on Xspeeds
