So I got into TL the other day with their open signup. I was a little excited because their pre times are supposed to be better than anything I am in, good speed and all that. Then I get to the part about wait times, and I'm okay with double seeding from a different site until I'm past their wait table to full immediate access, even tough the recheck on data usually leaves me at less than 100% because I can just take the failed .3% from yet another site.
Now the clocks on releases indeed do indicate TL as the least amount of wait (by a very small margin mind you) for a premier, however the first one in real time out of my list of trackers is IPT. So why deal with all this hassle of either waiting patiently to snatch content and seed it or snatching it from two other trackers just to get out of wait times if the pre times actually aren't any better / are inferior?
What would I do if I didn't already have accounts on other trackers? Go through release after release of waiting over half a day and missing that critical seeding period until I eventually pass their requirement? Of course I could go VIP and skip all this hassle, which is made very very clear all over the site and irc which makes me think this massive open signups is obviously to solicit donations from new users.
The only thing I can see as an advantage to the site is a) if there are more seedboxes than everywhere else, b) that speeds are better because of this wait times policy and c) that once you pass wait times it's very easy to maintain high ratio (even though they require .4 lol)
So what's the deal, are all the reviews I've read outdated or am I missing something? I have 250gb a month and now seeding to at least two sites for
every 0day release I enjoy.
"Quit bitching it's free", I know I'm just ranting. Sorry for the poorly composed post, its coming unedited from off the top of my head.
