Real Life friends into BT world

[hagckz0r]

I would like to know how many of you have in real life friends interested in BT world? And also when you have invites to trackers do you give the invites to them( RL friends)? Or to other 'strangers' from FST for example.

Personally I have 2 good friends which know a little bit about this world of trackers but they don't have too much knowledge of it. When I have invites first I try to help my RL friends and after the 'strangers' (virtual friends) on the Internet.

[btke]

there is almost no one interested in it around me ....

[Sanka113]

I've got a few Rl friends that are on private trackers but for the most part they don't give a shit enough to warrant me to give them invites to most trackers. For the most part i'd choose my e-friends over them when it comes to torrenting.

[ajsi]

my best friend is interested in bt a bit :) i invited him to some places :) also my IT teacher is interested in bt, i invited him too to some places xD he has a czech scene axx so i have to kiss his ass sometimes :D

[Pris]

I have a few friends too..

[Frolsa84]

None.

[benficao]

a few and some close family. all youngsters

[KushBlow]

Only about 3 of my friends use private trackers. The rest just use RS or MU.

[teresckova]

no one ...just me using the bt...so i have to invite virtual friends

[fulu]

I have some friends intrested in the BT world so first i try to help them and they help me

[dragoi92]

I have some friends.

[pone44]

Is a disaster for some. My best friend went to Computer school-graphic design, taught me BT-public sites only. I took it more serious and researced private trackers while he was using isohunt-Tpb-ect.
Invited my best friend to a tracker and he gets a warning after i was schooled him on what not to and what to do on private trackers. Can cause conflict sometimes. Can be frustrating as they do not take it as serious as some of us do...

[pffm]

most of my rl friens use public trackers, only a few use private.

[Popov]

1 of my friends is really interested, and one teacher too. So I usually give my invites to them... And then the rest don't care at all. They uses TPB sometimes :/

[benficao]

most of my rl friens use public trackers, only a few use private.


your teacher? :naughty:

nice, im gonna trade invites for grades also :shifty:

[peat moss]

I don't trust most of my friends to give an invite . The older ones yes but not the youngster's. Workmates I'll give them to as I can shame them into keeping a good ratio . :D

[Swift]

I helped few friends but with some internal trackers more proper for their use they still manage them so I'm pleased

[105802]

i have friends that use torrents daily , but never seed so ill never invite them anywere

[soulreaper]

Most of my real friends don't torrent so to speak and a few mainly use sites like Demonoid and stuff like Limewire.

[nthpeter]

I have a few friends interested in BT. I invited a friend once to SCC, and i got banned because of him, so only e-friends deserves my invites :)

[alcoholik]

i have a few friends..

[Ghostbusters]

Out of about 5 RL mates I've introduced to the private tracker scene only 1 has managed to survive to this day.

Out of numerous E-Mates I've introduced to private trackers only a couple of bad apples have failed to make the grade.

So in my opinion E-Mates make the best people to bring into these communities

Sometimes e-friends are even better than real friends eh? :D

For torrenting, yes, for everything else, no way ;)

[vic]

one or two are using torrents, they are not interested in private trackers though.

[Ghostbusters]

Just you wait until they spend a couple of days downloading a multi-gig PC game only to discover that it's actually German Midget Porn and they'll be beggin you for an invite somewhere, unless they're into that sort of thing lol

[Cabalo]

i have 4 of my friends that are very much into this private tracker scene.
they just started seeing how i could get my hands in the goodies so fast, and wanted to know more.
a couple of them were already torrenting back from the days of suprnova, so it was just actually teaching them the concept of "keeping a good ratio".
They all started via TB and FL, when they were open signups. and they showed up they could keep a ratio. so i started sending them invites. They all have very different tastes: one is an addict to elearning stuff and porn :D , the other one HD movies, the other one Xbox gaming, etc etc. so i suited them the best i could.

now, none of them ever turns off their pc for seeding, even when they are in the jobs, they remote to their PC to check the goodies.

[Frankthetank1]

i just invited some friends on.

[vpg8000]

I have only a couple of friends into private trackers. They're far from hardcore though.

[piratebot]

not really. a friend uses a public tracker or crap like that. i offered him an invite to a private tracker. he didn't even try to register in time.

[vpg8000]

Yeah I know my friend uses only Demonoid and I invited him to IPtorrents like a week ago. He hasn't accepted the invite yet :blink:

[respawn40]

I have a best friend who I had invited to a tracker. His account lasted for 2 weeks, and then got disabled for being "inactive".


"Ooohh, so you have to actually download and post to be considered active!"

Needless to say, I've given up on him for the moment :)

[Night0wl]

I have two really IRL friends that are really good users, to the point where they actually provide content themselves. One of them already did regular uploads on Demonoid, when I started inviting him to places, so all I had to teach him was how to do quality rips.

A few others ranging from good to inactive. One was quite active on TTi but then forgot to ask staff to park the account when he went on vacation. He got deleted and is now quite pissed off at anything private, since he feels he was active and got a good buffer for nothing.

One is so scared of ratio, that he wants to stick to Demonoid only. He has like 5.0 ratio there, but still thinks he won't be able to seed on really private sites.

[cinephilia]

i don't have any friends into torrenting except one that i introduced to Demonoid but he doesn't use it that much.

[J-dye]

friends on the interweb > friends on tv

[peat moss]

Well in the most part ,we're all lucky as we have good friends . Best horror show is when I gave my ex-wife an invite and she was brutal .

Started out I gave her a few movies and she sold them , 10 bucks each . To me that just seemed wrong . Asked the site to please ban her ... I look bad . Nope left me out to dry and learn t my lesson .


Live and learn I guess but still bugs me .

[hangemhigh]

none..
I try to explain the glories of torrenting and get this glassy-eyed stare
like I'm from mars or pluto even.

[GaMmERFoLiFe]

zero

my real life friends just don't get the concept of torrents/ratio's ect

[pone44]

They are not reliable for certain sites. You can trust them in other ways but when it comes to logging in to a site-following all rules. Some real life friends will disappoint you. Is a shame..Most think frost is the best thing online. Give them a demonoid at best if it is a first time bt member. All i can say. Then maybe a IPT if they do well?

[PACINO]

i have friends that use torrents daily , but never seed so ill never invite them anywere


same here

[BlackBird_]

Some of my friends download from emule or limewire. I imagine that none of them should have some notion of torrenting.

Like someone said before, they are not trusted to be invited to a top tracker... not by me. I don't wanna be banned and also lose a friend :lol:

[soulreaper]

The exact same thing happened to me on a couple of occasions so I just quit talking about torrenting with them!

You don't have to invite them to top level trackers. They can start with something practical like IPtorrents and then move up to trackers which require more responsibility. I'd give them about 3 weeks tops to get used to the ratio system and rules, then after that you don't have to worry.

Until they find out about RM :lol:

Before that better start with TPB, cause they have to learn what is a "torrent" :lol:

Anyway, I did not feel much enthusiasm from them to learn :mellow:


@Kushblow: what's RM?

[pone44]

True Story!

[Zaxx]

Guess you could say I have a real life torrenting friend..my wife..she was an admin of a torrent site when we 'met'. True story...;)

[puckface]

True Story!


Back to the Lounge with you

[alma]

RM=R****M*****
a ratio spoofer program

[CaptanAmerica]

Edited by D Please read the post below :)

[KushBlow]

I dunno what it's called but I know it's called RM. Anyway forget it I don't want all the noobs googling it and using it :D.

[CaptanAmerica]

Edited by D please read the post above

[KushBlow]

The hell?

[pone44]

That does not happen often i would think? Wow.

BTW- Best not to use any corner cutting- cheat script on any site! Word of advice to those that do not already know.

Captain that is some sophisticated stuff there. Wth?? lol

wtf :lol:

[cstrik3]

I had one, but now i don't have any friend using bt..

Only virtual friends using private trackers and others ways..

[b1ackout]

i have plenty of buddies who dabble in torrents, but most of them dont like to seed, which deters me from giving them invites. I usually star mt friends off on IPT to see how they do then if the do fine and want a better 0-day i give them some of my other invites. i dont like to give out invites to anyone i dont trust will use the account properly, be it rl or il friends

[GuitarLegend]

few ppl around me...but those who use are good users

[avoozl]

I invited my mom to tvtorrents.com. Apparently her ISP had accidently un-capped her connection, and from home she uploaded over 500gb in a couple of days.

Her ISP threatened to disconnect her, so she left the bittorrent world behind.

[xnugx]

I have a bunch of personal friends that torrent. Mostly for music. I've invited friends to what, waffles, and bcg because we are all really into what they offer as friends. I want to leak my band's cd to some sites soon, looking forward to that also. have to sell a few more first!

[YoYoY]

only one

[flashback3r]

Just one of my RL friends are into it. I found out about that when i started torrenting. He^has invited me to places. I would invite him but he has everything he wants ^^

[kondrae]

2, and they're were complete noobs. they're getting the hang of it now. invited them to a couple lower-level trackers

[sugam]

I have many real life friends interested in bt and filesharing at all. Majority of my invites are for them of course.

[lostdemon]

I only have one real life friend into the BT world and I try to help him out as much as I can since he's proven that he can be a good member and keep a good ratio.

[dedro]

i know of 2 people that get down like us.

[humchu]

I have friends that are interested in the content on bt but no-one interested in doing it themselves. This is good because I could never truest them with an invite anyway.

[Windy72]

I have a couple of IRL friends into BT. But they do not know about me. I just smirk when they talk about their downloading. I say nothing nobody knows about me.:whistling

[Morpheus]

There's hardly any point in giving invites to my real life friends. We're all pretty much into the same things so I share what I download and they with me. It isn't worth the time and bandwidth to have us all download the same things.

[Rumov]

I once gave an invite to a RL friend and i regretted it...

[Ghostbusters]

Well my last real life friend has dropped out of the private tracker scene, invited him to bitmetv, account never user, disabled, my 3 e-friends are all doing well with a good ratio :)

[TakeMS]

here in bulgaria all one torrent. :hooray:
