View Full Version : Have ScT... is FTN worth going after?

First. Before the point of this thread, don't post unless you have both. I'm NOT asking for FTN and I don't care if I ever get it or not since I already have ScT.

Now. ScT is wonderful and it's currently my favorite tracker. But is FTN much different? I know it has ever so slightly better pretimes, but aside from that? I know it can't have better speed, because I max out on ScT every time I download there.

They both have their exclusive packs, and ScT's are fantastic, maintaining a ratio on ScT is way easier then one might think, but on FTN there IS no ratio.

So do they level out in terms of overall quality? Or to the people with both, do you prefer one over the other and why?

Content wise, both trackers have pretty similar torrents (mostly 0day); FT.N has more articulate pack torrents.

FT.N isn't much different than ScT, except for the community (but all trackers differ in that area). ScT has better pre times, but FT.N has more unique uploads, I guess.

Yes, there isn't a ratio system on FT.N, but like you said, you're seeding fine on ScT.

The reason I prefer FT.N over ScT is it's a beautiful thing to leech a huge HD pack torrent and not worrying about it killing your ratio when it finishes downloading; when you join the IRC channel, people greet you because they know and respect you; and their well-designed style sheet.

Edit: Stupid edit system.

th0r pretty much nailed it. In my opinion.. ScT excels a little more in the TV genre.. but FTN's packs are killer. There is also more of an overall sense of community at FTN, if that is important to you.

Both are great trackers, but if I had to choose only one, it would be FTN. I really like the feel of a small community.. and their movie packs rule :)

Not for long :P
FTN is about to become one of the most unique trackers (well that I know of at least) within the next couple of weeks. I've rejoined the coding team and we're currently in the process of offering something no other tracker has ever done (this has nothing to do with ratios).

hang on, am i missing something? dont you have to seed in FTN to a 1:1 ratio or seed for like 3 days or else you will get banned?, so whats the catch with the ratio system?

well seeding time is now 36 hours

but it doesn't mean you will seed to 100% in this period, so the fact that you have no ratio is cool for that

Brandon FTW again! :thumbsup:

Also, yes FTN is word going after. IMO it is the best of both worlds, great community, intelligent/articulate users (like th0r! :) ), wonderful staff (they are all nice as far as I can tell), fast enough pre-times and great packs. With that being said, go after it in a manner that doesn't break the trackers rules or puts the trackers security at risk. In other words, get to know some people.

At FTN we ask you to seed 1:1 (which most users with servers can easily do) or for 36 hours (for those without servers who might not manage 1:1). We have not banned one single person yet since our change from the ratio system, excluding those who cheated etc. There is no catch. Our approach at FTN is quite different than most other trackers. We aim to do whatever we can to make things better for our users, even if it means spending money out of my own pocket which most staff do in contrast to other sites who require more donations or p2l approaches.

I've been a user, an uploader, and now I run my own site that I code for and administrate. I've been in every aspect of the torrent system and tend to push FTN's goals and features towards what I would want as if I was still a normal user.

Call what I say hype all you want. We promised a change, and we made it (no ratio system). I promised a phase 2 which I stated above, and it will come.

Thanks :) Yea things are much better now, crossing my fingers that they stay this way. My acct on here was hacked so not all of the posts on here were mine. The post about me leaving here wasn't done by me. There were a few vulgar posts sent from my acct also that weren't from me (sorry).

Private Messages: Unread 107, Total 493.

70 or so of those were also done by the <censored> who hacked my acct and PM'd random users offering ftn invites :P

Anyways, thanks for that though <3

I'm pretty sure you're fine. This had to do with the whole situation i've been going through recently with my information going public etc (my entire pc was hacked). If you wanna play it safe, install a software firewall.

edit: or do what actually saved my ass on a lot of other sites i use. get a fingerprint scanner to handle passwords ;)

Kyl3, it fully depends on, what are your priorities. If your priority is content, speed etc, then I don't think you are missing much - I believe, they have basically the same content (maybe sct has more files) and you can't get any faster speeds than you get em on sct. If your top priority is community, well, then I guess it depends on how you get along with different people n which people fit you better. If your priority is rarity (collecting disease has been spreading very aggressively lately), then I think you should overthink whether you really need to go any further or just value, what you already have.

FTN interested me too for some time, but I gave up - ain't much of a writer to write A4 full of poems and heart-breaking words, neither don't wanna start licking someones arse. Pfft.. I just noticed how bad my English is lately or is it because it's 642am :o

Don't have to write me a poem or tell me heart-breaking words, or lick my ass to get an invite. I think i remember you pm'ing me though, but can't remember what you said. Anyways, I tend to invite those users I see who don't bash people, who are friendly, etc.

Perfect example of my post above. The above person seems friendly and I'd prob be willing to step out on a limb and invite him if he doesn't have one.

Rule of thumb.. I like nice people.

The thing with nice people is, that there is a small step between a really nice person, who simply is a good person inside and someone, who acts nice with everyone, but actually is a 2-faced snake. Everyone can say nice things, but what actually matters is, whether he really means it or not. You can see too many people with fake positive image, you can just sense, that it isn't the real person. The real person is pretty often someone very different.

I'm sometimes harsh, maybe too sarcastic and I might produce way too much criticism, but that it's me. I don't need to fake being good, which I really believe inside I'm. Anyway off to school.

Edit: Congrats Kyl3KK, hopefully you don't need to go any further - you have everything you need, value it :)

That's another lesson I learned here. That, and trading isn't needed at all. That friends and asking are way better then trading could ever be and that all the people at FST, are some of the nicest people in cyberspace ever.

So much trust it's amazing.... I promise when I get in I will take care of this account like nothing else... for a while all my bandwidth will go to FTN and like I said after I get it, there will be a nice giveaway from me here at FST for whatever I can offer to all you guys! :)

There was once a time I would have agreed with you. However, coming to my senses I realized I can't hide FTN. Everything posted on FTN gets relayed here anyways, usually within minutes of it's release on site. My stepping down for example, or the new ratio system, raising our user limit.. etc.
And about the noobs attention, I was once a noob myself.

The one thing that makes me want to be on FTN so much is its staff. They think of the members first, don't run after donations and provide the best service and experience which is priceless. FTN definitely deserves all the hype and is at the pinnacle and setting the platform for other trackers. Mind you, I love ScT to death and I would jump off the balcony if something happens to my account.

Well, I read the topic

Have ScT... is FTN worth going after?
Than I saw

FTN is about to become one of the most unique trackers (well that I know of at least) within the next couple of weeks. I've rejoined the coding team and we're currently in the process of offering something no other tracker has ever done (this has nothing to do with ratios).^^

Congratulations Kyl3KK! Now you can test it yourself :)

But personally I think FTN is a lot better than SCT.(Don't have any of them though) From what I've heard SCT is Pay2Leech and with that it's not even worth to join.

FTN has a great system and with the no ratio change they have made a great step to the future....


btw: Who is brandon??? (I know that he belongs to the FTN staff but what position has he that he can invite all the people without asking?

Presto
10-03-2007, 01:03 PM
Yeah. Thats true, Presto, but I'm not a two faced snake and most of the people I've met here aren't either. You guys are wonderful. Because of FST, I got so many trackers that I could only dream of. When I receive my invitation from Brandon, I'll celebrate by having a giveaway of whatever I have, all because you guys kick ass! :)

Nah, man, don't worry, I don't think you are.

As far as I can see it here, well, if all the administrators and mods etc. are just as kind as Brandon then it really must have a very good community and a very good staff (eh unless some trackers where admins and ops are just impatient and rude).

The thing with nice people is, that there is a small step between a really nice person, who simply is a good person inside and someone, who acts nice with everyone, but actually is a 2-faced snake. Everyone can say nice things, but what actually matters is, whether he really means it or not. You can see too many people with fake positive image, you can just sense, that it isn't the real person. The real person is pretty often someone very different.

I'm sometimes harsh, maybe too sarcastic and I might produce way too much criticism, but that it's me. I don't need to fake being good, which I really believe inside I'm. Anyway off to school.

Edit: Congrats Kyl3KK, hopefully you don't need to go any further - you have everything you need, value it :)

For some reason u CAN tell when they're trying to be nice and when they ARE nice.

I am very happy for the thread starter and can only imagine his delight when he got that invite, and not just any invite but from the man himself. What an honor.

FTN is truly a great community and in my 12 weeks of being a member I have bonded greatly with some of the members on the forums and via IRC - I actually now look forward to joining the chat when I can.

I am working my way up to power user now (40gig to go :whistling) so I can request an invite for a close friend of mine because after saying my experiences he wants in but hey who can blame him?

Kyl3KK: How are you liking it so far? Better than ScT in your opinion?

It's kind of hard to seed, but all my torrents are green! Definitely different from ScT, the community is way nicer.

As far as pretimes go, I would say that ScT and FTN are pretty much deadlocked, and while they are both 0day sites, each one has a few odd releases that the other does not (for example ScT has the DVD9 of Transformers, FTN does not). I can't say anything about actually downloading yet since so far all I've been doing is seeding stuff I have.

Still though, people who say it's sooooooooo hard to seed at ScT/FTN obviously have never been to OiNK or BitMe.

FuToR try not to comment on sites if you don't know the facts.

ScT is NOT Pay2leech, they do however have a system where you can buy gigs if you WANT. It is not mandatory and you are under no obligation to do so. I don't agree with the system but I do think that users should know FACT, not you're interpretation from what you have read here.

Not having a go at you, its just worth correcting you, as this is how arguments and flaming starts.

I don't have an account with FTN so I won't comment other than to say it sounds like it has some interesting features compared to other trackers.

If i had ftn, I would have done with all other BT trackers i have. Why others if you have the fastest speed with freeleech? FTN IS THE TRACKER. Obviously, its worth going after, according to what i have heard. sct is only better when they have freeleech. But right now i'm in lots of crap (don't want to mention them here cause they aren't really crap but not rated here) which is sufficient for my needs. I love IP torrents and RespectTheSeed due to their speed and rare contents.

I think going after FTN is still worth it, maybe from the contents both are pretty similar, but when it comes to the packs, they could be different, and now what I really love from FTN is they don't count the download :) and from what I heard the staffs gonna add something's that other trackers don't have

FTN is worth going after, in my opinion. I'm still after it :P

You realize ScT is a 18+ site? Two more years to go and you can be a legal member there.

sct : better pre-time and better speed and the #of torrent /day on sct is better then ftn
ftn : the ratio idea make it the best tracker :)

so if you have not problems with uploading on sct , you have not to look for anyother other general tracker .

FTN is in a league of its own. Best of everything there. Sct is just another scene tracker like the rest of them. Great pretimes and speed, just like the rest of them.

Wow, i had no idea FTN was that impressive. I definitely like the seeding/ratio idea.
