As im one of the lucky ones and have had both, i would say they are very much equal to each other. but if i had to choose one it would have to be FTN just for the freebies and tv/movie packs

And Jaqozo wins the thread. One is faster, the other one has better pre-times and a few freebies. Great sites to have but they're not that better (if at all) than tl. Just rarer.

kimii
04-15-2007, 05:31 PM
Raising userlimit is not gonna happen. We cater to users who have slow speeds. If people want blazing fast speeds (on older torrents), then I urge you to aim for ScT rather then FTN. We don't want to be like ScT. ;)

I know this wasnt a choice but E***O, is really what its all about :happy:


ScT and FTN are two sites I have never bothered to try to get into, to hard (and I think) completly overrated trackers

The stuff you find on FTN and ScT makes its way down to lesser sites in no time at all, there is no big advantage to having an account at these "topsites"

(if anyone wants to send me an invite to either tracker I am willing to change my view on the matter :spam: )

General2k
04-16-2007, 05:40 AM
Any sites that offer you to buy invites should be on the top. Invites are something that should be earned.

SkullForce
04-16-2007, 12:14 PM
Yea, invites should be earned not sold, SCT want to earn some money from selling invites.

Ftn has better pretimes, better and more special packs(which also are free to download) and anything uploaded like 1 hour after pre, is also free.

Sct has better download speeds. But sct recently became p2l(even if it is mild p2l) which sucks IMO. I dont know how those speeds will be affected now that it became p2l. I assume that some people(with fast connections) will stop using sct and that more people will leech(since they will get upload credit from donating).

Also on sct, it is a lot harder to keep 1+ ratio(especially if you have slow connection) but this might change a little now that it became p2l.

I prefer ftn.

redMonster
04-17-2007, 04:20 PM
I am not on FTN, but I am quite satisfied with ScT. I don't bother about pretimes and I get amazing speeds on ScT, so ScT is the way to go.

Yup yup. There are high schools with fewer drama queens. I'll never understand why people are so viscerally opposed to Pay4gigs. And the people accusing ScT of stealing of money should either give evidence or shut up.

Im with you on this 1.
Because i only have 4mb,so speed isnt the most important for me.
Pre times are almos the same.
FTN has freebies and this birthday was great.But my 1st love was Sct,With Ftn just behind it.

meelad
04-18-2007, 03:47 AM
I would say FTN because I have slow upload speed and free leech torrents on FTN help me.

Love them both but had to say ScT overall because I have been there a long time you get great speed, quick releases, and the community is great.

I seriously doubt all the people who vote in the poll have both trackers - which is kinda essential if you want to compare them... So perhaps the results give a wrong image.

jaqozo
04-20-2007, 01:02 PM
Then why is it so hard to get into FTN or SCT?

because they are a smaller and prefer to be secure and private with a limited userbase and mostly hard-to-get ivitations.
but again, as i said, , if you have TL - you should have really good reasons to join sct and ftn, because they are all the same level .

ChotaZorro
04-20-2007, 01:16 PM
Oh, I get it. But really, most people really don't give out FTN or SCT invites. The rest don't even have because it's so hard to get invites there.

jaqozo
04-20-2007, 01:32 PM
Don't ask yourself how to get sct or ftn, ask yourself whether you need them .

don't lose your sleep if you can't get invited there, they prefer to keep it small and thus consider themselves an "elite tracker" with pay-per-invite, etc etc.
Chances are that you will find 99% of it's contents around the same time at TL or RevTT or sometimes TBytes.
I shared accounts on both of them, and i found myself returning to TL and revTT all the time.

05-09-2007, 08:30 PM
recently sct has bounced back with quick pretimes so i relike sct

there was a period where sct pretimes for television were really slow but now have bounced back

ftn is for rarity but SCT for speed aswell as content
also SCT has more torrents and last longer but FTN has some good packs but more or less similar to SCT

also i think staff more friendly at SCT overall

those who have neither should look for s********** (SCC)
pre times for tha have always been good!

04-10-2008, 01:36 AM
I would I love FTN because of its speed and ratio free..:) personal favourite..

The only advantage in SCT is speed is more and difficult to seed and I need to think twice before downloading... Not for those who hold seedbox but for those who live in slow upload speed like me..

I love both and I am extremely cautious and take care my accounts, but if I have to choose only one, FTN for sure.

04-10-2008, 07:58 AM

dragos

is that for real
ftn powns Sct

in what?

ScT - better content, aeons away from what FTN ofers
- better speeds, it's like comparing dial up(FTN) with gbit(ScT). It's actually shameless to compare their speeds.
- better pretimes. Don't bother saying otherwise, pick a random category ,a random day and compare. If you don't have eye problems it should be obvious
- comunity. It is vastly more active at ScT. 100 posts at ScT for a single one at FTN. Where exactly did the "sct comunity is shit" mith came from? It's so active at ScT that it kinda looks like an irc channel.
- ratio. What the fuck is that? You don't like to share? You think leeching 500 GB and uploading 10 GB ,but keep them seeded is ok? Leeching like there's no tommorow without giving shit back is ok, as long as you seed? No sir, it's not. FTN is considered better by newbs with dial up bandwith that don't give shit back but leech like they'd die tommorow. Join the great mininova if so.
- site has a better design and moves incomparably faster, just a pleasurable feeling to just browse with no purpose.

04-10-2008, 09:54 AM
ScT as a community is also a great tracker.Just try to post a question in help section and see responses pouring.
Nothing beats ScT.Its all about speed,pre-time and 10/10 for style.Its also beautifully coded.Just love this shit.

ScT - better content, aeons away from what FTN ofers
it's an 0day tracker not an archive .


- better speeds, it's like comparing dial up(FTN) with gbit(ScT). It's actually shameless to compare their speeds.

i have to agree on this one , sct speed pwns ftn speed but not to that degree , and this is due to low number of users on ftn .
however 90% of ftn users use seed boxes even one seeder can satisfy your connection.


- better pretimes. Don't bother saying otherwise, pick a random category ,a random day and compare. If you don't have eye problems it should be obvious

no that's not true some times ftn beats some times sct beats , a lot of time scc beat both yea scc .go into any pre channel .
and if any site beat teh other it's a matter of seconds which no ones gives a fuck about.


- comunity. It is vastly more active at ScT. 100 posts at ScT for a single one at FTN. Where exactly did the "sct comunity is shit" mith came from? It's so active at ScT that it kinda looks like an irc channel.

sct is active , ftn is active but in ratio speaking ftn is more active since it has lower number of users where they all know each other and help each other on every thing ,
you can't compare 18000 users of sct to 5000 users of ftn.



- ratio. What the fuck is that? You don't like to share? You think leeching 500 GB and uploading 10 GB ,but keep them seeded is ok? Leeching like there's no tommorow without giving shit back is ok, as long as you seed? No sir, it's not. FTN is considered better by newbs with dial up bandwith that don't give shit back but leech like they'd die tommorow. Join the great mininova if so.

No ratio and seed 1/1 or 48 hrs if you can't get 1/1 . i know such a system may not work with mininova or other public trackers b'cuz it's full of ignorant noobs that don't agree to the concept of sharing and you have to give in order to receive, but in a site like ftn full of l33ts that's not an issue , b'cuz users don't just seed 1/1 but 10000/1 .

ftn Se./Le. ratio (%)1282 || sct Seeder/leecher ratio1676%


- site has a better design and moves incomparably faster, just a pleasurable feeling to just browse with no purpose.

matter of taste personally i think ftn got a better design , and i bet you that if you make a poll most users will prefer ftn design , the site is smooth and fast.
