Reworded from my post in New Site Features thread

New page

We are an archive site, which means that old torrents are not deleted. However this has the consequence that many torrents are without seeders, so they seem dead. However, a seed for these torrents is just a few clicks away. If you see the text 'Click here to request a reseed' on a torrent without seeds that you want - simply click it and automatically a message is sent to the last 10 snatchers & the uploader. If the same torrents has multiple reseed requests, each subsequent requests will message the next 5 snatchers.
You can see all the open reseed requests on the following page which can be found under the Torrents menu - http://www.themixingbowl.org/torrent/reseedrequests/
There is a ratio bonus for anyone who seeds a 'reseed requested' torrent, it's calculated as an additional 25% of the uploaded amount for each reseed requestor, e.g. if 2 people have requested a reseed on a torrent then ratio is x1.5, 4 requests means double ratio. The bonus is applied after the fact which means that there will be a delay before the bonus is applied.

A reseed can be requested on any torrent which has not had a seeder for at least 14 days. You will see a link to request a reseed on the torrent thread and torrent details pages. There is no penalty to request a reseed!

The requirements to request a reseed are the same as megatorrents, i.e. download minimum of 1.5GB and a ratio at least 0.75.
Requesting reseeds is limited to 1 per day for users & uploaders, everyone else gets unlimited - please don't abuse it!

+Torrents which are sucssesfully reseeded will be 'bumped' to the top of the main torrent view, this is win-win situation as the original reseeder gets a upload bonus and by showing the seeder on the front page will attract more downloaders.
