Ftn

[Pluto]

Does anyone know why FTN is so fucking slow while browsing ? Its been like this since christmas. :unsure:

[ssj4gogeta]

Just because their servers is not that good for the amount of users they have and since no one donates on there they can't afford a better one plus its in some crappy country if i remember right.
Which is a shame as FTN is one of the best sites without a doubt in my top 3.

[upGrayde]

yeah, because ftn sucks balls and is overrated haha

[eliteman]

wow, there's one person who is mad because he doesn't have FTN or got disabled

[Pluto]

probably disabled. Everyone who gets disabled acts like ftns crappy cause they got caught.

[Phonginho]

FTN is highly overrated....that's a fact:P

[fstrulz]

FTN site's server is in Malaysia and it's really slow...

But it doesn't really matter, because they have great speeds... I was downloading this 4.3GB movie with only 1 seeder at 2Mbps.

Are you going to name better sites?

[eliteman]

why is it overrated, nobody is saying that's it's the "greatest" site on earth, it's just very rare and only saught after because of that, it has the usual content, but nobody is saying that it has special things, it has some packs just like ScT, and that's the reason why the two recieve 10 rating for content, and imo i don't think that's overrating

[Night0wl]

I like it although I wouldn't really recommend it to users with slow upload because of the massive speed.

[te00]

lucky boys...Im not even there to complain :P

[WHRST]

every now then i have good speed when browsing since they had the server upgrade but then i lose my conn and it becomes slow again but my upload is crap but i have an easier time seeding back on ftn then certain other places.

[poliser]

In my opinion, FTN is not overated, actually i
think he's the best torrents-site we have.
(yes, better than SCT in all aspects,
expect the server speed- while browsing)

[Actor]

As others have said, it is because they don't have the best server. If it is so bad, why don't you donate:)?

[Roark]

It's not that the server can't handle the load, it's that it's located in Malaysia and apparently poorly routed to large portions of the world. That, and they must have some coding issues, because the site is regularly taken offline for a few minutes at a time for some reason.

I think the site is great for people with low bandwidth, where else are you going to get such large packs free? But shhh, apparently they'd rather be known for being a 0day tracker (because we all know how rare those are) than for the content that really makes them special.

[knio]

browsing is FTN is fucking slow.. and they have a shitty HnR rule .. FTN is overrated .. i donno why people need another tracker when they can download everything from Torrentleech , and its easy to seed in TL

[Schism]

i'm there for the community

[redMonster]

Yeah, the HnR rule is very strict. 72 hours is a really long time.

lol.. thats really funny :lol: ..

You only have to seed for 72 hours if you haven't seeded 1:1 by then. So what is the problem? Are you a leech:dry:?

[redMonster]

Keeping the PC on for 72 hours continuously is not easy.

[Cmon]

no one told you to keep your pc 72 hours straight, but I assume normal people would take a week to seed 72 hours :P

[Night0wl]

From what I hear as long as you seed continuesly for the first few hours after completing it, it is OK to take smaller breaks from seeding. This is just hear say, But I can tell you later today, since I am forced to go offline for a few hours.

[Pluto]

No one requires you to run the pc for 72 hours straight. As long as you continue to run utorrent 1 hour after finishing, you are then alloted the rest of the torrents life to seed it back for 72 or until you hit 1.


Sometimes people make me laugh.

I suggest you read the forum. You don't have to keep your computer on for 72 hours at all:wacko:.

I am sorry for my ignorance. I didn't know that seeding continuously was not required. :frusty:

[Buggyme]

It's quite fast for me :O
It was a bit slow during the freelech period, but not anymore.

[Schism]

lol.. thats really funny :lol: ..

why is that funny

[WHRST]

they said in the forum it does not have to be straight 72 hrs seeding u should seed for a few hours if u have a reason to stop the torrent so u don't get a warning. I usually just seed without stopping though since there is no reason for me to stop them.

[SKGunners]

Seeding 72 hours shouldn't be any problem. You can just seed one hour then turn off your PC and continue seeding the next day.

In the last 42 weeks, my computer has been turned off for like 4-5 hrs at max for maintenance, and 2 reboots due to software crash.

And before that I had my old computer running 24/7 more than a year, with only 3 reboots.

I don´t see the point in turning your computer off if you are in the filesharing communities.

U must been having a real peace of machine, mate. I'm trying to restart system every 4-5 hours, 'cause it's getting slow :(

Then you have some serious problem with spyware or something else trashing your computer.

My computer running as a file server is stripped to the max and only running the applications needed for file sharing, and IRC. But for a normal user, playing games, surfing, photo editing and so on you should at least be able to run your computer a couple of weeks without noticing any loss in performance.

Nah, none of that shi* is trashing my PC, it's just not that new - one of the first P4's and kinda low on RAM, but it's not problem for me to reload every morning and one-two times at pm. :)

[Cmon]

Normal user imo switch their computer when they don't use it, at least while they sleep, afaik none of my friend is 24/7 even if they use private tracker

[hungdob]

nahh if u have quiet fans just leave your pc on all the time:happy:

[WHRST]

Well downstairs my computer is in another room so it's not like i hear it anyway not that it is that loud compared to my old one.

[Gosht]

I keep my PC on 24/7 but somedays it start to stay very slow, so I have to reboot it, if it doesn´t have those problems I would keep it ON the whole year. :frusty:

[kapowcowpwned]

aren't most sites 72hrs?

And I actually think that I have one of the easiest times seedint at FTN, atleast compared to places like bitmetv
