HR Deposit System (reward-style)

If you check in normally and participate in the daily lucky bag draw (bonus points / tokens), you usually don’t need to worry about H&R.

1) TL;DR

HR turns “download-and-run prone” torrents into a reward-style FREE:

A deposit is deducted when you download
If you meet the requirement in time: deposit is returned + bonus upload is granted (effectively “FREE” )
If you meet it late: the bonus starts to decay (less reward the later you finish)
If you still fail by the end of the window: deposit is returned, bonus is 0

Deposit: the upload credit deducted when you download.
Deposit percent: deposit = real downloaded × deposit percent.
Bonus (extra refund): extra upload credit granted after you meet the requirement (usually torrent size × X%).
Minimum retention: you must seed at least this long before any refund logic can apply (e.g. 24h).
Per-torrent ratio: uploaded / downloaded for this specific torrent only.
Seedtime: seeding time counted by the tracker.
Progress: real downloaded / torrent size.
Window / Deadline: after you stop seeding, you get a grace period. If you still don’t meet the requirement, it becomes a violation.

These values can be adjusted in staff settings; this page shows the current configuration.

HR enabled: ON
Deposit percent: 100%
Minimum retention: 24h
Bonus percent (full reward): 95%
Target time: 72h (reach per-torrent ratio 1.0 within this time to get full bonus)
Bonus decay: -1 percentage point per hour after the target time (95%→94%→93%…)
Tier 1: progress < 10% AND real downloaded < 1 GiB
Tier 2: progress < 50% (no bonus for Tier 2; treated as a normal torrent when the window ends)
Tier 2 window: 7 days (deposit is returned; no bonus)
Tier 3 window: 7 days
Base seeding time by size (GiB → hours):
- 0-10=36
- 10-20=72
- 20-50=120
- 50-200=168
- 200+=336

Assume you download a 10GB HR torrent and you seed for at least 24 hours (minimum retention).

Your situation	Deposit (10GB)	Bonus (extra upload)	In one sentence
Reach per-torrent ratio 1.0 within 72h (real upload = 10GB)	returned	+9.5GB	effectively “FREE”
Reach ratio 1.0 on day 4	returned	bonus starts to decay (less the later you finish)	still rewarded, but not that “FREE” anymore
Still not ratio 1.0 when the window ends	returned	+0	no bonus; this is basically like downloading a normal torrent

Notes:

“Window ends” means the HR completion window (currently 7 days).
The deposit is just “deduct then return” — it’s not extra profit. What you actually gain is your real upload + the bonus upload.
Deposit/bonus are added to your Uploaded; your Downloaded still increases (real download is always counted).

Assume you start with: Uploaded=100GB, Downloaded=100GB. You download a 10GB HR torrent:

After download: Downloaded=110GB; deposit 10GB is deducted → Uploaded=90GB
You upload 10GB within the target time (per-torrent ratio reaches 1.0) → Uploaded=100GB
Settlement: deposit 10GB is returned + bonus 9.5GB is granted → Uploaded=119.5GB

So after meeting HR: Uploaded=119.5GB, Downloaded=110GB.
