    Minutes or even hours, no. But days, yes

    Nowadays, there are more trackers than there are members, so if your tracker misbehaves, they get bookmark removed, or worse, URL deleted.

    I don't really care about pretimes, and I don't really understand the war between trackers trying to get a release a couple of minutes faster. I don't care if I get what I want a few hours (or even days) after the initial release, as long as I get it.

    The way I see it pretimes are important only for people who download a torrent from one tracker and then seed it on a few others to buffer accounts, and since I don't do that then it means absolutely nothing to me.

    probably important for uploaders who need to snatch it quickly to upload on anther site first...

    i care because, i like to get a lot of stuff before i leave, lol, sometimes i schedule things around pre times

    i mean, like going to work or sleep, its nice to be able to queue up some stuff before.

    It is really help full when you have a seedbox and you try to buffer another site. Having it earlier and joining the seeders can bust your ratio rapidly;]

    Same here. I try to get the trackers with the best pre-times since I mainly use them to watch TV shows.
