I was just curious which tracker overall is better to try and get in?

They are both ratioless, but which has more content? What would you recommend?

Which is better PTN or GFT?

You do know PTN is a movie tracker while GFT is a 0-Day one, right?

They are very different trackers. Neither are very impressive. I thought PTM had a much better userbase and more content for a ratioless tracker.

GFT ain't all that tbh - the leechers there are VERY low, especially for a ratioless tracker.

GFT is by far my least used tracker

this of course is MY opinion ;)

I actually meant PTN, but guess I am comparing two different types of trackers. I never really considered PTM.

PTM is the best of the three trackers for most people: easiest to get into, similar releases and pretimes to GFT/FTN, and probably has the best retention of the three. (Disclaimer: I am not a member of FTN so I'm going by hearsay and could be wrong.)

PTN, as others have said, is a movie tracker.

Edit: after doing a quick unscientific check it seems the retention of GFT is closer to PTM than I initially thought (for seeded torrents; the only thing that matters).

It totally depends on what you are looking for content-wise and what you want or don't want out of a tracker.
Anyway I don't really know that much about GFT, I was invited there a year or so ago but never used the site since it was basically redundant to other trackers that I'm a member of.
PTN is a decent movie site that's always trying to improve and has very involved staff but it's heavy on the community aspect so if that doesn't interest you then there are maybe better places to look into.

If you are just looking to get into whichever tracker you think has the most cache then just forget about it entirely .

Totally different trackers, so the comparison is kind of useless to me.

GFT as it is pretty much imposssible to get into FTN now-a-days and that's not the case with GFT atm.

both are two different types of trackers;
if you are looking for an 0-day tracker GFT is probably one of the best
if you are looking for a mainly movie tracker PTN is a very good choice;
you can'T really compare those two coz they have two totally different contents

GFT VS SCC VS FTN [NOT PTN]

Which is the best??

GFT VS SCC VS FTN [NOT PTN]

Which is the best??

FTN if you compare the ratio free trackers, and SCC, if you have no qualms seeding back and maintaining a minimum of 1:1 ratio.

I like SCC more then GFT because of this:

1) More Seeders
2) Require less seeding time
3) Have great packs (I also use TB for packs)

GFT have some good sides:
1) Probably best PRE times
2) Much more secure site

GFT wont be that hard to get in to since they switched way you are getting BONUS points. You are getting BONUS now ONLY for idling at IRC and not a single for seeding. In less then a month of idling You are getting enough points for one invite...

Ive lost my account on PTN coz I didnt use it. Never wanted to reactivate it since I didnt really need it (signed by open signup there).

As far as I know, PtN has never had open signups. I usually am not wrong in matters concerning PtN, as I have been quite involved with the site for a considerably long time.

You did have open applications, though. I thought dexico90 may have meant that before I scrolled down. :happy:

I cant remember how I got in there. Never did tread, and I know I didnt beg anyone for it. As far as I can remember someone from TPS Irc helped me with registration... Anyway its gone, it was nice looking but I wasnt the guy for that kind of tracker...

GFT. Staff is awesome. Pre's rock. Did I mention ratio free? Yeah, GFT.

As was mentioned though, they are very different trackers. Kind of an apples and oranges thing.

Bit touchy about PTN, eh? lmao

Not at all. You should know better, DonkeyPacker. Its just that the smart asses who don't know what they are on about, tend to put me off.Other than that, I just woke up and haven't had my cup of coffee. So.. thats my lame reason for trollin.

Both are awesome but I dont think they should be compared since they are different. PTN is best movie tracker and GFT the best 0-day tracker I found and they are ratioless. You should join they if you get the chance to.

As mentioned above...comparing a movie tracker with a 0day is nearly pointless. I use both trackers...probably GFT a bit more that PTN, but both trackers have what I want for the most part. If I'm after a certain movie release that I know I want then it's usually scc or gft. If I'm unsure and am 'looking' for an interesting movie then PTN's movie layout/info is ideal imo. I like gft's tv section vs scc's...but then I like scc's swarm speeds when I'm impatient, but this point is moot for many users unless they use a SB or have a 22Mb home connect like myself. Also a thumbs up to ptn staff...but then again I've known them for quite a while so I may be biased...lol

If all you want is movies then PTN, but if you want a little bit of everything you are looking for a 0day tracker like GFT. Like others have said it is pointless to ask which is better they both offer different content.

if you think properly then you will find out that the gft is a fail as the number of seeders and leechers never got beyond 10.... what does it mean?? ;)
