    Ft.N for pretimes and ScT for speed. sure, you'll see a rls pop up on Ft.N first but you'll definitely finish downloading it faster on ScT.

    This really depends on your connection; mine maxes out on ftn (on 6mbit) so id get stuff faster from ftn.

    Yes, it completely depends on your connection. I usually max out at 6 or 8mbit on ftn, even on popular stuff, but at ScT, I always hit 15mbit, no matter when I join the torrent. It is a lot tougher to seed at sct, most of my upload comes from seeding packs and it gets a real boost during free leech. And I can usually get at least a 1:1 ratio on new stuff.

    SCT is the fastest becouse most of the peopel there have 100Mbit connection..
    after 10 minutes a new torrent gets 10+ seeders.

    FTN is still great with freebies. They are very strict on hit and run with those torrents though. I know a guy who has a seedbox, h&r and got banned instantly.

    If you have a seedbox with 100mbit or something i'd go with sct, 10mbit and lower I'd go with ftn. If you dont have a super fast connection your ratio will never survive.

    I max out at 1mbit..... .
    I like FTN just for their freebies

    but for TV bitmeTV is definately the place to go.

    ScT generally has better speeds. Not just the fact because of all the people with the seedboxes, but really having 3x as many people helps too. FTN has better pretimes but ScT has the better selection of TV torrents.

    On an unrelated note, in Bitmetv it's strictly TV and I usually max out my connection, it has 25000 users and it's not that hard to keep a ratio.
