BitMe is an e-learning only tracker.This site is amazing if you are interested in Audio Learning, Art, College Lectures, Documentaries, e-Books, Languages, Magic, Medical, Stock Photography and many other terms most of which I don't understand like 3D Buzz and AppDev. My personal favorite is that they have alot of martial arts and health training videos and e-books. At first your ratio is hard to keep up because they have a delay system for lower ratio users, the solution is uploading your self which you don't have to be authorised to do it just has to be something they accept. In terms of speed it is not the best but because the files are worth waiting for it doesn't really matter.

User Classes

You start off as user. Power Users comes next after 50gb upload and ratio above 1.05.Note that you will be automatically demoted from this status if your ratio drops below 0.95 at any time. I like that you can become a VIP when you have been a member for at least 90 days, have uploaded at least 70GB and have a ratio of at least 3.0.

Rules

The rules are pretty simple. If you dont follow them you will be banned. Most are common rules of no hit and runs, no trading invites, Listen to staff, ect. When uploading though they are pretty strict with your desciptions and screen caps so you need to read up on that before you upload anything.

Forum

The forum is not huge but as some good activity. There are different sections for the different user classes to chat in.The help section is a good place to visit if you cant figure something out.
