EDIT: Well I've pmed the last bit of people and I'm tying up the loose ends. Feel free to post in here if you want, but I don't necessarily know if I'll have any invites.

I have a bunch of invites for various sites laying around, right? And I really haven't felt the need to give them out because frankly every person who asks for that site on here doesn't say more than "Hey can I get this invite?" and then 20 bumps later can't understand why nobody wants to help them out.

So.

Tell me about your interests and what you get from torrent sites. What kind of stuff do you enjoy downloading, what kind of stuff do you enjoy uploading, do you like to post a lot, or do you like to peruse the XXX forums at certain sites? Tell me about it.

If I think I have something to offer you and you seem to be on the up and up, I'll pm you with some invites with which I'd be willing to part. I'll end this thread when I feel like it, I guess.

Also, you can do 2 ratios and a speedtest. Or not. I don't care.

P.S. 150 word minimum <- :) Hi there.

P.P.S. I like punctuation :)

P.P.P.S. All invites are level 4 and above with a minimum content ranking of 8. Fair enough?

I think this is a great idea and I guess I'll start ;)

My favorite content to download and upload is probably music, especially electronic music. I have been into music sharing for a long time and I have experience using EAC to rip my own CDs and share them either by uploading them to rapidshare/FTP/BT Trackers or by streaming them over a ventrilo server where my friends and I share music we download. I recently got invited to what.cd and I'm loving it there except that their trance and techno sections are not very extensive and right now I'm hunting for a good electro tracker or music tracker that is a bit easier to seed back to than what. I am able to get most of the movies, anime, tv shows, xxx, and games I want by using Newsgroups, Rapidshare, FTP sites, and various BT trackers. I may not have the best trackers in the world (not even above a level 4 :D) but I love them dearly because I believe they are the essence of true p2p and I love giving back to the communities I belong to whether by seeding as long as I can. I'm usually not extremely active in the forums on trackers but I do like to help people out in the tech support area or just jumping in on good/heated conversations. Anyways, I hope you can decipher all of that. I wasn't able to get into everything I like but to break it down its mostly music (electronic is one of my favorite genres and I love artists like DJ Tiesto, DJ Fritzy, DJ Mystik, ATB, Basshunter, DJ Special K, Darude, Oakenfold, and Paul Van Dyke to name a few), high quality appz, xxx, and Animes like Naruto, Evangelion, HunterXHunter, and Honey and Clover.

Have a good day and I hope you pick me for one of your invites :)

Also, if you'd like to see speedtests or ratios I'd be glad to PM them to you.

Me 2 I want! Gimme now plz!!!! I dream for this very long time.....:lol:

I just posted something similar in JROquinn's waffles giveaway post. I was starting to believe that this is how invites were requested here at fst......



Well, I got my first taste of torrenting many years ago on suprnova. A friend of mine showed me the ropes.

I then moved onto mininova after suprnova shutdown and somehow stumbled into RevTT from there almost two years ago. From then on my eyes were opened to the world of private trackers, the speeds and content was just too much for me to handle so I had to upgrade to a faster line. :01:

I torrent because I have a very full work and school schedule and do not have much time for tv and movies. So its nice to have a collection of things to watch when I do have time on my hands. I do purchase things I dl'd if I am impressed by or enjoyed them.

These days I am mostly into e-learning. I've been dl'ing lots of books about everything trying to satisfy my thirst for knowledge.

Don't really need an invite for anything. I just felt like posting as I am a fan of your F*N req thread. I just hate how most users here demand invites and yours stood out. Everyone just copied the format after they saw how successful you were.

Plus I love the idea of a "Not a Giveaway Giveaway". I got warned and almost banned for inviting a user who seemed legit and tried cheating the ratio system.:dry:

I've learned alot about torrenting since joining FST and reading posts by users such as yourself.



Thanks for the knowledge,
Movistargsx

I don't mind if I don't get anything but I would like to let people know a little about me as I would like to get to know other people here as well.

I like to download movies tc and R5 quality. Ones in theatres or soon to be released on dvd, tv shows like Smallvile, Southpark and Heroes, new updated apps, anime like Gun Grave, Flame Of Recca and Samurai 7, and kung fu movies old and new. Just recently got the movie No Reservations for my girl the other day and currently downloading He Was A Quiet Man at this moment. I always try to maintain a 1:1 ratio even leave my computer on day and night until I upload what I downloaded. The forum on the site I'm on isn't really active but if it were I would be in it like I am on here. This is actually the first forum I ever been a part of and I really like. If I find a site with a forum where people actually talk to each alot that would be cool. I like to joke around and be myself since I have to be serious all day at work.

Thats about it. As I re-read what I wrote this kinda sounds like a dating site where you tell people about yourself huh? If you consider me for anything thank you. If not thanks for reading my post anyway. Now you know a little about me and I hope to get to know you squirr3l and rossoneri in the future.

Hello fsephie! The rules for your giveaway are quite interesting and may turn out to be effective. I myself am interested in joining a community that has small but active members. I think it keeps users intact. I do download movies, music, and some useful 0day applications most of the time. I do prefer scene releases but member's release are fine with me as long as there are rules they must follow that would keep uploads organized. As with me uploading, I do have experience with ripping audio CDs to FLAC (which I think got me to E**** for free) and MP3, and DVDs to XviD. A place with movie packs would be very appreciated. Anyway, I'm not making an entry for this giveaway because of tracker rarity level hype. If i don't get any, that's just fine (but I do hope I won a friend in you :D).

Please let me know if you'll need ratios if you get to consider me for your invite/s. Thanks and good luck! :)

I have a plethora of interests, mainly movies, juggling, computer programming, and like everybody else TV. Sadly there is no juggling content tracker and I have a hunch that there never will be.

For the most part I download movies both new and classics (mostly DVD-R/Xvids) and watch them on the weekends. As well as e-learning stuff about programming. But since the death of Demonoid, I've been having trouble. Then thirdly, TV shows and specifically shows off HBO, Showtime, and when I can find them, any programming off the Sundance Channel and Discovery Channel. On the few sites I am an uploader, I usually up a lot of computer games and the occasional application. I have seemed to amassed a large collection of PC games seeing it's the only thing I buy now. And would love a decent place to upload all of them.

I enjoy posting as long as there are other decent people to talk to. As of now I seem to be failing horribly at finding a forum I enjoy. And I guess from time to time I post in the XXX section if im in that perky mood (lol).

Thanks for the opportunity and like others have said I like this idea.

My interests in torrents are many. After the writer strike lasted longer than a couple weeks, it sadly became apparent that i depended on a lot of new shows to contain my interest in TV. Thus i've gone back to torrents to satiate my tastes, mostly in the Discovery channel genre. Also, after tasting true HD movies from my bluray/hddvd player, I have trouble watching anything else but HD movies and TV. Netflix has been working for a while, but even waiting a couple days for movies seem too slow.

However, most importantly, i'm a web developer and having a wealth of elearning movies/ebooks at my disposal is immensely valuable. Like Ikslej said before me, after the death of Demonoid, "i've been having some trouble." I haven't found a private tracker that filled the elearning void. I sure hope you can help. :)

Hi,


I hope everyone takes fsephie's post seriously and takes the time to write something as requested if they are looking for invites, it won't be a waste of your time. So don't waste their time with silly 3 word posts.

I was looking for an invite to a lossless music trading site, to fill the void left by the loss of demonoid and posted a thread about it. Fsephie took the time to contact me, and we PM'd and I told them my interests, and voila! I am now a member of a site that has lossless music, not the one I initially posted about, which is impossible to get into, but an excellent site none the less, that I am glad to be a part of. :-)

I have already found 2 obscure things I have been looking for, been able to revive and bring life back to an orphaned torrent that had wanting leechers, and uploaded something to the site that didn't exist there.

If fsephie can help you the they will. So take the time, write something meaningful, and you never know, this may be your lucky day. :w00t:

Cheers!

I like your idea of a giveaway. Especially the 150 word part.

I'm starting to make people give really good reasons other than asking for it and ratio proofs / speedtests for my giveaways, but this works just as well.

What I like is speed. I really, really like fast speeds. My download speed is pretty low, and so is my upload speed but at least I have a seedbox and friends for that. It'd be so great to see my connection max out on a torrent, it's never done it before. I swear my heart would stop if I got more than 350 kb/s on a torrent haha. I've never even gotten close to that even with the most seeded file on my trackers. I like 0-day apps a lot. They're the best! I usually browse all the 0-day apps lists, look up the names of a few that sound interesting, and if I like it I'll download it. I have a LOT of apps that I'm probably not going to use, but still is really great to have, and comes in handy. Applications are probably my favorite thing to download, especially the big ones that I can burn to discs. Even though pre-times are no big deal for me, just hopefully it's not "terribly" slow. Though I have quite a few trackers that I get my content from, it'd be really nice to replace most of them with just one decent and fast tracker.

I'm sure you got this, but I enjoy downloading apps the most. Not old, outdated ones, but new ones. Updated versions. I don't care if they're not useful or not, I'll download them. Then comes movies. Then T.V. shows (episodes as soon as they air). Then games. And then e-books.

I'll also try to upload my own collections. I have a large HDD space and I'm using a lot of it. I'll upload my music collection, my e-book collection, my audio-book collection, and my video collection.

I really like torrents because I get whatever I want there, without paying for it. I've saved thousands of dollars and I'm so happy with it. Also I enjoy doing it because.. I can. I can get whatever I want for free, when I want it, and I love that fact.

I do like to post. Not so much that it makes it spam, but enough to be considered active. :) Really what I'm looking for is a extremely fast, general tracker with decent pretimes and updated content. I definitely wouldn't pursue the forum with "XXX" purposes in mind, if I wanted that I'd just watch some porn flick.

That's pretty much the only I want. I would ask for a tracker with a lot of Flac music, but BTMusic is level 3 and E****, I hear, has old music.

Wow, 150 words....

Lets see, where to start......

Well first, are you actually going to read them all? You'd think that would get a bit tedious after a while. One can only imagine...

As for my history, I got started in the torrent world like pretty much everyone else, using public trackers and search engines like Mininova and Torrentspy (before they blocked US users). I would find what I wanted once in a while, download it with pretty terrible speeds. Would shut the torrent client off immediately after it was done downloading, not giving any thought about giving back. Eventually got invited to Demonoid through a friend, they got shut down a couple months later. Went back to using crappy public trackers.

Somehow got thinking about Demonoid and the world of public trackers again, found this forum, waited the 30 days to get into the invites section, made a few posts. Read about trackers with specialties. Joined The Traders' Den for audio/video recordings of concerts, loved it. Downloaded a ton of shows, and actually shared them back. I've got a pretty good download capacity, but like some people, my upload is throttled, so I leave my computer running overnight to seed back to the community. Worked through other trackers with open sign-ups, like textbooktorrents, docs.torrents.ro, scenehd, tvtorrents, etc. All kept with a ratio > 1.

Kept coming back here, reading the posts where users raved about their download speeds from the higher-level trackers, laughed at those who post requests saying they "need ________ account plz help!!!!" (I don't quite understand how someone needs a private tracker). Pretty soon I wanted invites to these famous trackers. Since I didn't have anything to offer, I tried to post in the giveaway threads hoping to get a shot at an invite to a decent tracker. I recently got invited to scc, and use my account there sparingly, always maintaining my good ratio. I also just got invited to stmusic, hoping they have some good music!

So there you have my downloading legacy. As for preferences, I'm a huge music man, not really any of the mainstream stuff now except a little Radiohead once and a while. My tastes go back to the good times for music, Jimi Hendrix, The Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley, The Beatles, etc. All the classics. Due to this, The Traders' Den has turned out to be a really great resource. If I especially like a show, I'll keep it seeding until there are no leechers left. My taste in movies goes as far as this: If I think I'll like it, I'll download it. I watch movies streaming from my 360 to my HDTV, which usually involves a little converting if I download 720p rips in an mkv container. That has helped me learn a lot about video and audio encoding. Concerning TV Shows, pretty much the one and only show I bother watching is Top Gear, the greatest show ever made. E-book wise, I download a lot of stuff, whatever interests me at the time.

What I'm looking for now is to simply broaden my horizons, get into some of the bigger name trackers with faster speeds and better content.



.....And, I'm done. Possibly a little more than 150 words, but I figure, "Hey, if I'm gonna bother to do this shit, might as well do it right!"

Thanks for reading.:dabs:

Oh well here we go, I liked your rules :happy:

First I'm not a english native speaker, I'm Portuguese so it's a bit tricky to write all of these in english.

So, I usually download lot's of DVDR's, and mostly BOXSET's and TVseries PACKS.
Talking about TVseries, I'm a 120% addicted to them, I love those popular shows like PB, LOST, and HEROES, etc... which I download on the day they "get out" usally from TL, however, the sad part is that the damn writers can't make a bad TVshow, all of those shows outthere are awesome, I'm talking about "unpopular" shows like, Jericho, Drive, Traveler (GREAT :w00t:), supernatural, the twilight zone (for the LOL's :D) and more, MUCH MORE! so since I don't have a damn good source for them (even mininova, piratebay, don't have what I search for) sometimes I need to "jump" episodes, and sometimes I can't even see the all season which does piss me off a lot :pinch:.

I do love music too, so I daily check SCC MP3 section, and my What.cd account, since a good fllow here offered me a Waflle.fm invite now I guess I'll just be addicted to it :lol:. I have lots of artists I like so I'll not tell them all here or this would get too long.:whistling

I have a PSP so I check Blackcats-games for the new games each day, and also for the old PSX ones that are being converted to PSP. (PSX rules too :P)

And finnally I check BitMe, just to see If there's something that "calls my attention" (usually there is always :w00t:, love BitMe :happy:)

And I go to FST, and BTnext fórum like hourly. (great community Btnext ;))

And this is all, uffff this was difficult, offcourse I missed some parts but It would get too big and you don't want to waste your time :lol:.

From all the trackers that exist in the world I just need onenothing more, just that one, let's se if u guess what it is =p

You talked about ratios proofs and speed connections, but than u said u dont care lol, If u need don't hesitate in asking me, really. ;)

Happy 2008!

This is a great idea. I have a few invites lying around as well, and have also been hesitant to start a traditional giveaway thread. Hopefully, you won't mind if I copy your idea sometime soon.

I started filesharing with Bearshare and then Shareaza about 6 years ago. Shareaza introduced me to BitTorrents, so I quickly got a better tracker and joined BitSoup and TorrenTit. I've been a member at Bitsoup for almost 3 years where I have a buffer of almost a terabyte. I then joined Demonoid a couple of years ago, about the time I bought a home theater system and discovered my passion: I love 5.1 surround music. Jazz, blues, rock, classical, new age, pop, country, it doesn't matter--I love it all. Demonoid had the best selection I have ever seen, and I downloaded nearly everything they had. Also, I've always had a thing for quirky old movies and have been building a collection since VHS and cable TV was all that was available. I also like current feature films, but I hate watching them in a theater. For Christmas, I got a networked media tank that plays nearly every sort of media file, and I have been madly downloading and watching 720p movie rips as the Popcorn Hour plays Matroska package files on my HDTV. I usually TiVo my favorite TV shows, but I'm fascinated by the History and Discovery Channels. I have tried to exhaustively download all shows about volcanoes, earthquakes and tsunamis.

My participation in forums has previously been admittedly weak. I am a professional person in a scientific field, married--no children, and I own a small business with about a dozen employees. I have always felt reluctant to open up in a public forum that deals with issues which bring forth wealthy political adversaries (anti-p2p) who try to manipulate the legislative system in order to inflict painful legal consequences. I joined FST a few months after TorrenTit was shut down in order to follow its restoration progress. I lurked around sporadically for quite a while, but didn't post much at all. I was happy with the content of BitSoup and Demonoid. Then Demonoid was shut down and didn't come back like all the previous times. I had to find a substitute, so back to FST I came. I finally broke down and asked for an invite--and got it. Easy! I subsequently asked for a couple of others. Some I got, some not. I asked for some advice and got several friendly, helpful replies. Someone else asked for some advice. I suggested something and he came back later and said it really helped. Great! So I started looking for threads I might learn something from or be useful in and could maybe throw in my 2 cents. Lo and behold, no jackbooted thugs have broken down my door, and no black helicopters have landed in the parking lot. So, I'm no longer shy about posting in this or any other forum and, in fact, I'm enjoying it. I would be even more comfortable in a private forum where no outside guests are allowed. By the way, I've never posted in any of the XXX forums, but I have nothing at all against them, and I might someday.

Some of my other interests include downhill skiing, bicycling, boating, sports cars, politics, and I can play the piano.

I'd better close this post because I think I've gone well over 150 words. Thanks for setting up this thread this way. If you think I'd be a good match for any of your invites, please let me know. I'll be glad to furnish any documented ratios, speeds, etc. if you'd like. I have a reasonably fast static IP at the office, and a dynamic IP that is nearly as fast at home. They are both always seeding, day and night.

Thank you for this opportunity to introduce myself in such a unique thread and for considering me for a high level invite. If you need any more information, please contact me.

I am a 16 (soon to be 17) year-old male, who loves everything about torrent sites, and communities. At the moment, I am attending my third year of high school, and am one credit short of graduating a year early. Among the many subjects that I am studying, I enjoy science the most. When I graduate, I hope to go on to study for a degree in chemical physics at the University of California: San Diego. In both the real world and the online universe, I am a very charismatic person who loves to meet new people (although I am sometimes a jackass in real life), and often gets along with others very well. Social or not, I am willing to be your friend. Among my hobbies are tennis, hiking, learning the guitar, reading, partying, and I even have recently tried snowboarding!

I am somewhat new to the torrent world, but still have managed to get into a few trackers including ScT, ScL, HdBits, TL, TB, Waffles, VIPv2, TD, ST, STMusic, and I even had a RevTT account for some time before I became inactive on their site. Most often, I download packs of movies, music, and any high definition content. I’m currently looking for more DVD+Rs to download, and never have much of a problem keeping a good ratio. When I look at a torrent site, I judge it based on content, speed and community. I love HDBits for its content as I love watching movies and television shows in high definition; hence, HDBits is my favorite site for content. When it comes to speed, I love ScT, as it has superior pre-times and many 100mbit connections seeding its torrents. And, with regards to community, I love ScL because they have tons of nice people, great active forums, not to mention it’s easy to get along with the staff there.

I like to write :P
Well I started out in the mean streets of google, scavenging for lost torrents a few days after they screened in US. One day, i was looking for some lost, when i got lost, and ended up in revott sign up page. I passed the first test of filling in my username correctly, and soon become a member there, leeching my heart away on lost episodes. Then one day i thought, i think it would be pretty cool if i could give something back to the community, so i tried to seed, with the usual fail. After reading through the forums, i realised i was not connected, but after a lot of playing around on my router page, i was connected and ready for action. After some intense seeding at 50KBps to get to 1 ratio, i realised it was time for me to double my private site collection, and i joined funfile. About this time i reread your thread, and realised you asked my interests, which are torrenting, mainly of bits, but if you want to get into the nitty gritty, i enjoy torrenting tv shows like lost and scrubs or movies like "lost: the movie" or "scrubs: return of the king". I also love reading ebooks, because the mere fact that they are electronic, makes it cool to read. I have never been one to shine away from music either. I am a fan of posting, usually letters, but i don't mind posting on forums. I am well known on forums such as fst (you should check it out sometime). In closing, i will set my inbox with check 4 change, awaiting your pm.

If u could list what invites u have, I think that would help. I like your rules but no one would want to write a 150 word description and then find out they have won an invite to PokerBay or something, you know what I mean?? I hope you get what im trying to say.....

Lol:lol: I started off with Kazaa and Winmx in 2003. Before that i was on warez sites. I was new to the whole downloading for free thing. After Kazaa lite died off and Winmx servers got shut down (The first Time) I discovered Boxtorrents (Anime site) Oink (Music Tracker) and Filelist (0Day tracker) and Suprnova (Public tracker). In the early days i was very much into to movies and music (Still am).

I remember back in like 2004 when they didn't have ratio's. When they implemented them on most tracker sites in late 2004 early 2005. It took sometime getting use to. Then I discovered Demonoid and was a very good member on their and active in their forums. Now i am very much into e-book sites like learnbits, bitspyder, and ebook vortex. I love to read and watch VTC video's.

I learned how to share, be active in forums, and upload. I then was introduced to TorrentLeech in 2006. On October 23rd 2007 when Oink got shut down is when I discovered FST. So i got to learn about the community, other forums, people from different cultures, and all types of new things. I try to be helpful but very honest at the same time. I am very opinionated and blunt. Thats my story. Also seeding and sharing is very imperative. It helps site growth, admins. mods, and users get what they want and to be able to continue to share.

Also like Movie Packs, Xvid releases, DVD screeners and Rips, Console and Arcade Roms, PC games, E-books, Audiobooks, Music (Cause I produce Hip-Hop and I love music in general), Apps, Photoshop Stuff, Graphics stuff, Learning Tutorials, Business E-Books among other things.

Also, I've always had a thing for quirky old movies and have been building a collection since VHS and cable TV was all that was available. I also like current feature films, but I hate watching them in a theater. For Christmas, I got a networked media tank that plays nearly every sort of media file, and I have been madly downloading and watching 720p movie rips as the Popcorn Hour plays Matroska package files on my HDTV. I usually TiVo my favorite TV shows, but I'm fascinated by the History and Discovery Channels. I have tried to exhaustively download all shows about volcanoes, earthquakes and tsunamis.

My participation in forums has previously been admittedly weak. I am a professional person in a scientific field, married--no children, and I own a small business with about a dozen employees. I have always felt reluctant to open up in a public forum that deals with issues which bring forth wealthy political adversaries (anti-p2p) who try to manipulate the legislative system in order to inflict painful legal consequences. I joined FST a few months after TorrenTit was shut down in order to follow its restoration progress. I lurked around sporadically for quite a while, but didn't post much at all. I was happy with the content of BitSoup and Demonoid. Then Demonoid was shut down and didn't come back like all the previous times. I had to find a substitute, so back to FST I came. I finally broke down and asked for an invite--and got it. Easy! I subsequently asked for a couple of others. Some I got, some not. I asked for some advice and got several friendly, helpful replies. Someone else asked for some advice. I suggested something and he came back later and said it really helped. Great! So I started looking for threads I might learn something from or be useful in and could maybe throw in my 2 cents. Lo and behold, no jackbooted thugs have broken down my door, and no black helicopters have landed in the parking lot. So, I'm no longer shy about posting in this or any other forum and, in fact, I'm enjoying it. I would be even more comfortable in a private forum where no outside guests are allowed. By the way, I've never posted in any of the XXX forums, but I have nothing at all against them, and I might someday.

Some of my other interests include downhill skiing, bicycling, boating, sports cars, politics, and I can play the piano.

I'd better close this post because I think I've gone well over 150 words. Thanks for setting up this thread this way. If you think I'd be a good match for any of your invites, please let me know. I'll be glad to furnish any documented ratios, speeds, etc. if you'd like. I have a reasonably fast static IP at the office, and a dynamic IP that is nearly as fast at home. They are both always seeding, day and night.

Thank you for this opportunity to introduce myself in such a unique thread and for considering me for a high level invite. If you need any more information, please contact me.

very good request. respect!

fsephie , i like the style its very nice and unique way of doing a giveaway . Keep it up mate !


But

the P.P.P.S kinda ruined it for me , pls dont get me wrong . u shouldnt have posted that its lvl 4 and above sites . there are some real genuine ppl asking here , a genuine person wouldnt care at all of some darn rarity level . but looks like certain section may have just got the kick to post long essays here after seeing ur lvl 4 and above to give and hoping to hit a jackpot with some high rarity level site . if u would have not written the lvl 4 and above u would have seen lesser posts with the real genuine ppl asking the invites of their tastes . for e.g :- whitmar seems very genuine and he deserves to have an invite of his taste .

Ok what the heck. I like to download new movies that come out. I get a fair amount of music from private sites, usually from the top40 countdowns and such. I also get a few tv shows that we don't get here where we live. The biggest thing that I actually have a hard time finding is those cheesy scifi channel orignal movies. If you have a site that does a few of them that would be a extra added bonus.
Now as far as posting on forums unfortunately I honestly don't have time to do that all the time so my postings are few if any a lot of the sites i go to. I do always thank the uploader when I download stuff, but I really don't post much in forums. I rarely even go to the forums for the sites I belong to unless I need some help with something or looking for something. I know that may count as a negative to me but hey at least I'm being honest.
Well to be even more honest I don't know what else to say so I guess that will be it. If you would like to send me invites to anything it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot and have fun going through all of these posts. :)

Hello fsephie, as previously stated by other members, nice idea. Really original.

Well, If it wasn't for WoW I would have said I had been torrenting for nearly 4 years. But WoW got me in an addiction so I didn't have any time for anything else when I was on the computer. So basically all the filesharing I did for 1,5 year was in a private dc hub. And when the addiction slowly but safe were getting less and less I got more and more into torrenting. So now I havn't played WoW for nearly 1,5 year and have been using a few trackers to download what I like. And my main forms of downloading have been music, 80% in the electronic part of the genres. As you can see on TT. And movies. television shows, I enjoy relaxing and just putting on a good movie or a tv show. And when being a swede I havn't had any problem keeping up with the massive ammounts of gb's I've downloaded. So far I've mostly only been a member of so called scene trackers were I havn't been able to upload anything. But I have now gotten into a few places where I can share things I have downloaded from these scene trackers and that private hub. So I'm gonna start uploading what I enjoy personally and can seed for a long time on them I guess. And lately I've been getting pictures of future plans in my head, dreaming of a nice big " tv and a nice setup to play these 720/1080p/I movies and tv shows when I move to my own place. So I've been starting to look around and getting an fair opinion on how to, and probably soon will start to stack up on good tv shows and movies to enjoy in the future on that nice setup, and meanwhile watch them on computer.

I have not posted that much in different forums I've been a member of beacuse, I've come to conclusion now that I when playing WoW , got myself an massive overweight which lowered my self-esteem. And made me more of beeing a lurker and not wanting to post and share my opinions, discuss, introduce myself etc. Basically what I did on the internet pretty much looked like my real life. But now, the last few months. I have started to try and take the control back of my body and tried starting to loose some weight. I lost a few kilos before christmas but these last two weeks I gained that, but it was excpectable. But what the working out at the gym have gained me I can see now, I've not lost weight, but I'm gonna. But my self-esteem have raised quite high and well I've also started to interact with people, both in the real life and on the internet. So I guess who I am in real life I am on the internet as well. A good thing I guess. So now I like to share my opinion, and try to discuss those things I can. But I'm also reading a lot of what other people are saying and trying to take in their opinion and what they have to say. I'm only 17 and havn't lived that long as others so I'm behind in their knowledge. But I like to learn new things. So now I try to and will in the future do my best to post and make a better community of those trackers and forums I am a member of. I enjoy them
a lot so it's the least I can do.

My interests are, to learn things actually. To gain knowledge for me is a great thing. And lately when I started working out in the gym I've been getting interrested in that. It's great and so much to know and learn. And also a great interrest of mine is music, it's lovely. All the good genres out there. And when studying to becoming a graphic designer my interests are also along that line.

And again, great idea and I liked writing down a few things about myself. Feels nice to "out" yourself or what I should say. I'm glad I started doing it.

And I wish everyone that read through this a continuing happy new year and I hope I wasn't to boring.

I'm sorry if my grammar isn't on top, or my spelling. But try to understand it as good as you can. When reading whitmar's post, he formulates his words
so good.

And last, if anyone is going to make fun or bash down on anything I've written about myself. Feel free to do so I'll just ignore it.

Hello fsephie,
I think that people like you make the difference.
I mean i have never seen anybody helpful like you on this board: everyone wants something and there is an untrustful mood all over here.

So i want to ask you a question: what sites do you suggest me most to get movies in general?

I would be glad to know your opinion.
