    Especially since it seems like most television/DVDs that I want are released later at night, I really don't see a problem in having them start downloading later at night versus earlier, since I'll just be watching them the next day anyways. I suppose when I'm back in California the ability to download my shows and watch them before they air in my local timezone would be appealing? Even then, I don't really care. Speed of download is much more important to me.
    Ask me about my self-esteem!

    tbh pre times on the order of differences between 1 min, 26 seconds after pre, and 10 minutes, 34 seconds after pre means not a lot to me. but ya, if it's in comparison with 2 hours+ difference in pre time, then it makes a big difference. the main difference is with large files (> 2 GB) cause pretty much all the main trackers release (for example) heroes within about 15 minutes easily, which makes no diff at all.

    Only on TV Shows do I care because I want to see them as soon as possible.

    No i do not care all that much about pretimes, as i live in Norway and pretimes are usually in the middle of the night. But it happens that im actually awake when the pres start, And on those days i care about pre times. But anything under 30 min is good enough for me.

    And even though i do not care about the times, i think its fun to see what trackers win the "raises" there are some trackers that are easy to get into that have awesome pre times.

    It's nice to have good pretimes, but it's definitely not the most important factor for me. If I have a nice community and good contents, I don't mind waiting some time.
    This is just like that drug trip I saw in that movie while I was on that drug trip.

    I voted yes, When it´s a day or two it kinda matters.. Sometimes hours if it´s your favorite show. But minutes? No
    zOMG I´m on Abraxas´ ignore list. My life is over!

    the minutes as already said does not REALLY matter, however a site with faster pretimes (even in minutes) just makes the site more attractive for me (not like that lol).
