[Elit3_T3AM]

Finally FTN have reached 5000 users :w00t:

I though that was never gona happen lol...

Just another 1000 more to go :cool:

I wonder how many ppl traded their invites :naughty: :naughty:

[Gish]

Who Cares:yup:

[PiraSoftCORP]

its a bitch to leech there . most of the time you end up seeding the stuff for 3 whole days.

[Night0wl]

Well everyone's entitled to their own opinion. I don't share it though.

It's nice that they don't hurry the process :) Makes for better members

[tindron]

if u aint got a seedbox then FTN can just be a pain, because alot do and its going to take you ages to seed back.

anyway its not that good a tracker

[DefX]

Quit the one phrase site bashing expletives. I'll regard it as spam.

[gunners]

Lol i love all the jealous remarks from people who downplay the greatness of FTN because they arn't apart of those 5000 members. Lol!!!

[Superkiller]

like i said
FTN not that gr8

[Elit3_T3AM]

i dont have a seedbox but i easily manage to keep a ratio above 1:1 :cool:

fair enuf FTN may need more leechers but its not as hard as u ppl think it is to upload if u pik the ryt torrents..

[Angrod]

? Its very easy to obtain 10:1 ratios. You dont need seedbox.

They are both right, I dont either have a seedbox and I confirm that its very easy to keep good ratio. Thats the reason I gave up with SCT: I don't want to compete with teens with seedboxes, being online all day just to grab torrents first and improve further their massive ratio.

As for the 72 hrs rule its not that hard, you just have to keep the torrent active for 72 cumulative hrs even without uploading a single kb, you only have to keep seeding 4-5 hrs after finished downloading, then you may close your PC and continue seeding at any time.

But to tell you the truth, I would prefer a 48 hrs rule instead of 72 :whistling

[TekknoN1]

I hope i can get a member there in the future :P :pinch::D

it seems like a lot of ftn threads turn into in a request an ftn invite or ftn sucks because it's hard to seed thread

[Diliman]

It`s not hard to seed at ftn :)

[Gish]

FTN does not suck but its the whole thing with how highly rated it is in the wiaw thread but at the same time its like bitsoup when it comes to download speed. at least that is my experience!

You are right.. FTN is not better than TorrentLeech! I like FTN because freeleech if pre-time is over 1h, they have very nice packs and uploaders have very good speed! Their browser is very slow, really bad.

+1 :yup:

Got to love the great packs!

yeah, but i guess it's nearly impossible for those that don't have an account tho :)

[th0r]

this thread wasn't created so those without an ftn account could ask for invites

[limpdickkid]

wow you guys complain about FTN, FSC has a 10days seed rule. What do you say to that!?!

[KSA]

...

[WHRST]

Coz they sucks ... 10 days seed rule!!
Huh ... Give me a break :pinch:

FSC has good content plus sedding for 10 days is not that hard.

[snowprince]

I think stop bashing torrent sites. Respect individual opinion. Some like it, some like it not.

[seanbee]

I concur that maintaining a good ratio on FTN is not that difficult.

I have a 1mb up connection and I am currently have a 9:1 ratio on it.

I like FTN for the following reasons:

1) Very fast uploaders
2) Pre-times are pretty good
3) Freeleech if torrent is uploaded after a prescribed time
4) Cool staff

a 1mb up connection is faster than what average users (non-seedbox) have.

[seanbee]

a 1mb up connection is faster than what average users (non-seedbox) have.

That is true but note the following:

1) Since being on FTN, I have never managed to max my upload on it (the most I have managed to get up is about 55kb/s which is about 512up)
2) I currently have a 9:1 ratio, the average then should be able to achieve 1:1 bearing they select their torrent properly.

the logic doesn't work like that. i think the problem with ftn is that due to the low number of leechers, to maintain a good ratio, you'll have to jump on new torrents fairly quickly.

you probably check your torrent sites frequently so you get to get on torrents early but some people can't (work, school, etc. during the day).

[xbawksz]

i max out at around 55 kb/s for upload and i have an 18:1 ratio on ftn. gotta hit those new freeleech torrents right when they get up and download torrents from other sites and upload the files to ftn. not that hard. :P

[seanbee]

Actually I don't, I work, I am doing my Masters in Information Technology and I am a newly wed but i pick my torrents very carefully which is when I can jump on early I do, if I can't then I grab the torrent from somewhere else. Maintaining good ratios on any site is about being responsible and sensible.

It's not hard at all to keep good ratio on FTN. There are many freeleeches, and of course U gotta have a good strategy - which to dowload, which one will be popular enough for leech. On SCT it's a lot harder to seed- partly due to the absence of regular freeleeches. Speed is also an issue. I guess everyone has seedbox there. Well I have a fairly strong seedbox, though.:)

Feel the same way, have never once had a hard time seeding there. Though I think it is better for low bandwith users.

[Rattlesnake]

need the link to the site dude

LOL bad start rattlesnake
