View Full Version : WhyTF? TL vs SCT

ok so why the feck people capitalize on SCT?
Since i got into SCT i didnt see anything so special other then having a month of freeleech and some Exclusive packs ones in a while.

seeding sucks footBALLS because of poor and moderate user database unlike TL which has much bigger UDb that helps seeding in easy and fair way, i download whatever and whenever i want without worrying of my stats on TL.
i got into SCT at very Freeleech start and i made good stats because people welling to download which proves my point of SCT having Moderate users, they dont get enough time to seed and user to leech in normal situation, daily files like TV series are rarely downloaded and in matter of few minutes file gets to ZeroLeech which means waste of ratio and a user with poor stats wont go near it. if SCT wants to keep on having so small UDb then its better for Them to turn into 2nd freeleech CLOSE tracker, we once on FST had a private BT community, it did pretty good for it self only to be taken off because of short coming on server bills(i guess).
i made 30Gb buffer in the Freeleech period, it got so wasted in few weeks that am on 6Gb buffer now, even a seedbox wont help. the only reason i bought a Leeware seedbox was to improve my stats at SCT but it didnt help a bit, on other hand at TL in only 1 week i got my upload to double what i had in buffer.

Pretime which some say is best over SCT; these days is nothing compared to TL, i see most of the torrents being released much later then TL(e.g The Situation LIMITED DVDRip XviD-iMBT) and the rest are no different, am on other trackers like TTi as well and TL kicks ass there too.
thats only few points which is in favor of TL, so stop being so fool on trading your huge buffered accounts and invites to get an SCT a/c, things are not so what its been advertised, you'll get much more over TL with more time to make better stats. if the only reason some of you want to get into SCT is because SCT is ranked among top 3 rare to get accounts then that make sense http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/images/icons/icon3.gif, and believe me more the rarity more the headache, headache to acquire one, headache before downloading, headache to upload and more headache to maintain your stats.
IMO TL only needs to be more socialize, a good example is what TTi is doing, they have lots of freeleech stuff like MOTW, TWT and TP as well as having bonus system to trade your seed hours.

anybody can prove me wrong give me some facts.

its just a bit of information and knowledge before people get into begging for an invite, those rating in "what invites are worth getting" thread are not so accurate and are not more then an opinion.

and the real answer is if you dont like opinions you dont read them.

ScT is better.. invite to ScT to get is really hard.. invites in ScT cost money.. TL invites you get when you become power user and every week you get 4 invites.. ScT pre-times are better than TL.. to sum up ScT is number 1 i think.. but it is only my opinion..

BawA
07-21-2007, 05:54 PM
again your talking about rarity of getting an SCT account which proves nothing on tracker quality.
regarding pre times, how your comparing?
TV series, Movies and some games are among what ive seen to be released prior to SCT on TL from past 1 week.

KevinGarnet
07-21-2007, 06:01 PM
i see a lot of movies, TV series which was released on ScT first.. actually i don't use TL a lot of time.. i prefer ScT.. hardness to get invite show that ScT is better tracker than TL.. however staff in ScT is really good.. help a lot for me.. i don't know how to others but i get a lot of help from ScT staff.. in some ways TL is better but in everything ScT is better..

huh? how the heck hardness to get invite means better rating of a site?
there are several factor behind a tracker limiting user dataBase, factors like keeping unwanted copyright defenders out of their community, factors like server to handle big UDb, factors like not having "hit and runners", all those effects on having limited number of users.
and i didnt say TL is faster to release every torrents my point was SCT is not dominating pre-times.

TL pretimes dont even compare to ScT....on big releases....ScT is always first


If you want an example...I watch the show "Entourtage"....ScT got it right away...it took TL another 30 mins to get it and by then...i was done watching it

its considered B.0.T.B just because some want to say "Mine is bigger then yours", thats it, just because more efforts was put into getting an account over there they think their in higher position , i dont see anything else why SCT should be considered a better tracker, it has same content as TL, same pre-time if not faster or later.

Again that proves my point of a tracker hard to acquire an account with is not necessary to be the best.

The rls you posted is the HR one which is cool but I am like most people and just find those useless since I dont have the proper equipment.

Look how TL was late on the 1st release of Entourage. Entourage is really a popular show in the US aswell. When you are that late on a rls like that, its obvious why ScT>TL.

As I posted yesterday in another thread...

SCT is obviously good... and also overrated - because you can get most of its content on TL and with almost the same pretimes and speeds.

(The only problem with TL is its large userbase and a lot of its members have been getting letter from their ISPs and the MPAA, so I wouldn't recommend it to people who live in the U.S.)

SCT also has a Pay2Leech/Invite system, $40 T-shirts, and it's difficult to seed there if you don't have a seedbox...

SCT also has 15,000 members, while FTN has only 5,000 (and has great content and best pretimes and staff)...

That's why I think SCT is overrated and FTN is the best.

I think it does. On ScT, on my profile settings, I have it to set -5 for the timezone and yes, it does affect the time readout on the torrents because i just tested it. On TL, i dont have it set (couldn't find the option to) so its at default time on there.

You do have a point then since my timing is not the same for both trackers. What was the difference for the NoTv rls on yours? Sorry about that, I should have realized that on my part and it makes my point pretty much invalid.

on TL you must set your country or some nearby country.
for NoTv Tl got it around 3 hours earlier, this can be little overtimed because i didnt find my country on the list so i chose nearest country which is like 1 or so hours advance or behind :confused:

No it is not leeched from another tracker a few people send all rlz's to a ftp site the sec they pre on the scene but it is down to uploaders on the site to grab them and upload them alot of uploads wait to get alot of torrents and do them all in 1 go to save there time
tl and as most people know uploads alot of torrents per day we have a great staff doing this but they have real lifes to and do need to eat and sleep and most people do not care about pre times i am one of them

i got an invitation to sct and FTN yesterday (for free ) .. there is nothing special about sct or FTN compared to TL except its hard to seed .. :(

i think all 0-day trackers has pretty much the same content .. and TL has great speed too ..

i dont need another 0day tracker .. now am gona look for specialised trackers like oink ..

TL is the best .. :) great speed , great content and easy to seed ..

Zeus
07-21-2007, 11:13 PM
Personally I prefer ScT as I find it gets releases faster, the download speeds are faster and the community is better. However, even if none of those things were true I still wouldn't go near TL given the amount of riaa/mpaa letters its users have been getting recently.

At the end of the day you only really need one 0day tracker, and once you've found the one that best suits you then you should just stick with it.

Well given ScT was around before TL you cant really say that at all :P

So long as you use RSS to grab TV shows its easy enough to get a decent ratio. Its just because the users of ScT have the technical know how to use RSS unlike those on TL that there's little activity on the tv torrents shortly after they are uploaded.

kudos to some of the ppl here who are not influenced becos the shity rarity section here . most of the ppl here are just addicted to get a higher rarity site .

The problem is that when a torrent site's rarity goes up , everybody is so happy and jolly and want to justify in every way that the abc tracker is better than xyz tracker just becos in the WIAW thread . heck , the thread should be renamed to "Rarity" thread and not WIAW thread , some of the ratings also giving to the content is very much debateable .

the day TL is closed and becomes rare , and other rare abc , xyz tracker opens signup which was level 7-8-9 in the rarity crap , ppl will come out from nowhere and defend for TL that the have the best content and Community as well . and the ultimate excuse EVER to defend a torrent site :- "Community" . There are tons of forums sites which have 1000's of ppl who are actively present in different forum sites .those Communites are way active and lots of ppl of diffrent ideas are there to interact with you . But somehow some ppl defend some site for community as tho that community is gonna give the members 50$ a week . 90 % of the ppl defending this community excuse havent posted even once or hardly looked their forums but still have this lame excuse .

i also agree a decent community should be there for the site to be enjoyable , but its WAY overblown here just to justify some of the rare trackers . oh and btw i do have good rare trackers which i of course value them just as i value my TL account , unlike ppl here who trade and crap like that . some of the really good torrent site with content , spped . there are some many great trackers here such as TL , Revtt , softmp3 , Supertorrents and relatively unknown sites here which can kick some ass of this crappy rare trackers which are present in the list .

in short i am trying to say that , the rare are really good no doubt that . but TL , ReVTT , Oink are also fantastic sites which have really good content , Speed and Decent pre-times which can more than satisfy the warez needs for everyone and if not for this rarity ppl would have appreciated this trackers more and Value them as the other rare counterparts .


I really recommend some of the Moderators her should make a "WIAW" with exclusive content , speed , pre-times thread , with absolutely NO mention of rarity in the thread and of course with a neutral view since most ppl get influenced in the favour of the other tracker becos it was rare .
just as the content is reduced to mere-side number in the rarity thread , the rare thingy should not at all be specified at all in the thread .

doesnt matter even if its the rarest and content is like 2 out of 10 , it should be in level 2 in terms of Content so ppl know there's nothing special at all in the site .

07-22-2007, 02:09 PM
well, good communities are not that important for 0-day as for original content trackers (like kg, o**k etc).
scene has it's own communities and they frown upon all 0-day trackers :)

thats exact what "SaviouR" was pointing out, those who got into a more rare tracker will bring out any excuse("community") true or false just to capitalize them self, that person even could have said that Torrentbytes is newer if this thread was titled TB Vs SCT.
some people just want in a way or other prove them self correct because they believe they're correct.
am not against SCT or any other "hard to get" trackers at all i just dont like people maximizing it on other "easy to obtain" trackers not because of their contents but because of their rarity.

erm.. sct is the tracker i use the most atm..
it has descent pretimes and quite good speeds too, i usually dl around 2MB/S .. TL has crappy pretimes ,the speed's fairly slower and seems to be capped around 1.5MB/S but it has more content&archives. I don't really care about my ratio and if sct is too hard to seed for you then just leech wisely or give it to someone who will. Not to mention that TL have been created for one purpose: make ca$h.

i have to say you talk out of your ass yes tl makes money but the site was never made for that i would not work there for free if the was the case

we have over 200k users less then 2% are vips so how are we making money off the other 98%

thats right we don't we ask them to seed and keep a ratio

again i dont know how your comparing the pre-times, since i became carious about pre-times which was a week ago i noticed that TL is getting stuff earlier then SCT.
and so what if TL is having some ad banner just to support server bill's(or anything else, i couldn't care less) because of it bigger user database unlike other so called rare trackers who cant effort to have such a big DB just because they want to be CLOSED/rare community. do you want TL to be killed off by taking off the revenue and thousands of their users suddenly be lifted with nothing?
and dont tell me that SCT is not doing same they also have pay2leech, the only thing they dont have is ads and i guarantee it if they get opportunity they will put much bigger banners on their site, nobody dislikes a side cash or site income atleast to support server bills.

Aren't there enough porn trackers? I'm happy that TL doesen't have porn section, since it's just stupid to download porn from a 0day tracker. There is much more variety and content on the specialized XXX trackers than on any general 0day tracker with porn section (SCT, RevTT,FB, etc.)
I need TL for 0day movies/appz, not porn :wacko:

m8 please reread my last post about this i said tl makes money only a fool would lie about that

but we force no one to donate 200k users 2% donate that means 98% don't

so is tl is all about money as you said don't you think someone should tell the 98% of users who don't donate ?

I'm sure TL wasn't created for the purpose of making money but it does seem to have become a large part of the site, to the extent that when a user struggling with low ratio seeks help they are automatically recommended to go vip, or when someone gets banned they are told they can only get back in if they go vip. And then there's the adverts... Back when Mercury got booted everyone was told that the ads were there only so he could take the money and sure enough shortly after he left the ads were removed. Since then TL has gained a lot more members, a lot more vips and therefore a lot more money. So why then have ads popped up again? The only reason can be greed of the owners who clearly want to squeeze as much money as possible out of the site. Some people might think that there's nothing wrong with that in a site, but for me that's not what torrent sites should be about.

I don't really care if they make money or not from TL. But don't forget how much from their free time they loose because of TL, and they are doing a dangerous job, the site owner could face legal charges from the MPAA/RIAA, and that means a lot of money to spend, much more than they could ever get from TL.
But there are some guys who dare, and because of them we have great sites like TL. Thank You :D

well in some cases that is true but if you read posts on these forums you will see i have enabled accounts and just removed dl rights until they have a good ratio
i hate the ad's to tbh i just block them
i will never say every thing is the way i want it to be if i had my way there would be no ad's and once banned for any reason the ban would be for life

but i just help run the site i do not own it so i do what i can with the tools i have
