Title: Dimeadozen Freeloader days
Post by: Setlist Scotty on December 24, 2014, 01:11:07 PM
Hey everyone

just a head's up - happened to notice this on the front page of Dimeadozen:
We'll have freeloader days during this year's holiday season from December 24, 00:00 GMT, to January 2, 00:00 GMT. Have a wonderful holiday season and happy downloading!

So if you're looking for bootlegs or your share ratio is down, now's the time to get on there! If your ratio is really low, you might consider downloading stuff that's just been uploaded (even if you don't want it yourself) so that you can increase your share ratio. The amount you download doesn't change, but the amount you upload does.

Just another reminder that the annual freeloader days on dimeadozen is almost upon us! So if you're ratio is bad, now's the time to bump it up and get some great shows in the process!

Hell yes, Scott! :metal

Grabbed a half dozen Alice Cooper shows I didn't have today.

Speaking of ratio, after losing share ratio steadily over the last few years, we just switched from Verizon Fios back to Xfinity which has much better internet. I've been slowly rebuilding my share.

Howdy folks,

In view of the coronavirus crisis, we want to cheer up the DIME
community a bit and will activate Freeloader Days until March 31 (00:00

It's that time of year again, and because of the pandemic, Freeloader days have been extended!

Got a pleasant surprise just now - turns out one of the mods of dimeadozen was just made a doctor, so to celebrate, they're doing Freeloader days for the time being (dunno how long). So take advantage of this opportunity, especially if your share ratio is on the low side!

Yay! I'm continually downloading shows even though they may not be my thing. That way, I continue to build up my share ratio, which I bank for when somebody posts shows that I really want at other times in the year since my ability to share with others quickly diminishes after the intial posting.   ;)
