not so surprising.
some months ago, a new french tracker (p-t.net) reached 40k members in only 24h and more than 100k after a week.

yeah, I registered too. They have open registration now.

Torrentday doesn't have strict rules compared to other trackers.

Let's see of how many will have their account banned or disabled in the coming month.

Owner of TD is a mighty Turtle From Afghanistan ;)
He is not disabling accounts if someone spam LoL
They have a nice function, they jail members, members posts will be invisible an same comments.

so they don't suspend account until they abuse too much.
Blackbeard, Anti-p2p is in TL/RevT/SCC/Zamunda and all other torrent sites but they don't care about small sites when there are ThePiratebay / isohunt etc...

I somehow think the numbers may be off though for some reason.
Either case maybe the numbers went up so fast due to other sites closing down lately?

Perhaps it's from being saturated in the drama and mishaps recently, but I'm just a little bit skeptical of a site that, seemingly out of nowhere, seems to be bursting out of it's seams with nearly 200k members.

I have signed up as well, hopefully the site proves me wrong though.

Rart
01-27-2010, 12:29 AM
So I decided to do a little investigating -

You won't find any valid user ID under 99000. You can try, I've already tried multiple times to find users with a ID below that, to no avail.

My theory is also confirmed by the fact that the "Torrentday" SysOp user is user ID 99904, and from thereon out the member ID's become valid. So unless 99k members magically vanished or were pruned (doubtful considering I've seen accounts that haven't logged on since day 1 and aren't pruned), AND managed to join before even the owner of the site joined, these statistics are complete crap.

Most likely these faked statistics were used to initially spur users to join the site, thinking that they already had a lot of members, which they obviously don't. Even so, obtaining 100k members is still nothing to sneeze at, if those later statistics have even the slightest ounce of truth in it.

Finally, I downloaded a torrent for the heck of it and Utorrent only reports half the peers that the site does. Even more faking of statistics to make users think the site is bigger than it is?

I think the real question is, how much are you willing to invest in a tracker that tries so hard to deceive its members?

merwais
01-27-2010, 12:49 AM
Rart, you are paranoid my friend :)

Even 30-50k registered member is enough for a private tracker which is online for 3-4 month ;)

I know a sysop who is hidden and id is just above 1 :P

torrents.ru - their torrents have 6-7k peers each of them, if you download, they will not allow you to get inside 4-7k peers at once, they will allow you to reach maximum to 50-60 peers first, they are doing this for anti piracy companies not to trace all swarm.

Learn some C++ coding and MySQL also ;)

any way, fuck them, good for TD owner, why should we care LoL
at least he got the users.

xnt.nu been online for the paste 5 months or more... they have 15,850 members only and more then half of those users are idle.

Remember, even TL have 180k registered members and i am very sure 65% of those members are idle !

You ever saw a torrent with 150k peers on TL ? NO !!!!

Rart
01-27-2010, 01:20 AM

Sure, 30-50k users is a great amount that any tracker can survive on. However, lying about the fact that you have an extra 100,000 non existent members just to attract further users brings up certain issues of integrity that make me extremely uncomfortable about using a tracker such as this, and I'm sure many others would agree with me.


I know a sysop who is hidden and id is just above 1 :P

Of course you can have a sysop with an ID above 1, I'm not sure what you're trying to prove with this. The point I was trying to make was that the owner of the site has a user ID of 99904, and thus there are no ids below that, as they are sorted by date joined (and you can check, there aren't any). Then the ID's go to 200,000, meaning that there's approximately 100k members on the site, half of what they claim. If even those numbers are legit.


torrents.ru - their torrents have 6-7k peers each of them, if you download, they will not allow you to get inside 4-7k peers at once, they will allow you to reach maximum to 50-60 peers first, they are doing this for anti piracy companies not to trace all swarm.

Perhaps you're the one that should learn how Utorrent operates. When you start a torrent, in the seeders/leechers column you get two numbers. The first is how many you are ACTIVELY connected to, and the second is how many there are TOTAL on the torrent. When I started the torrent, before I even began downloading, the 2nd number only showed half of what was on the site.

And the peer limit is certainly not made to stop anti piracy companies. You can set the connected peers limit to as much as you want, it's just simply not feasible/possible to connect to that many peers at once. Over a certain period on a popular torrent on BCG I managed to connect to over 600 peers at once, a little dumb on my part but trackers certainly don't limit the amount of peers you can connect to in order to "stop anti piracy agencies".

I really have no idea what point you're trying to get at here, if you care to elaborate further I'll respond. I never mentioned anything about the percentage of active users at a site.

Heh, that's pretty interesting (even if there might be a sensible explanation).

To be honest, and this is just my opinion, I'm not a member of the site and have nothing tangible either against it (or for it) but I do find such apparently insane growth a bit suss... gotta question how many of those would be dupes, leechers or other such things rather than genuine, active and rule-abiding accounts. And you've also kinda gotta question site security with the way its url has been spammed all over the net since it started, and also more generally the long-term sustainability of somewhere that's had such rapid growth so early in its existence (if its user numbers are even remotely accurate).

Merwais - with all due respect fella, you hardly qualify as an impartial voice about this place, I don't know what your link is with it and I don't really care all that much.... but I think its perfectly valid and not paranoid at all for people to be a bit cautious about somewhere that grows at such an insane rate when many established trackers have issues with lack of activity. I hate to tell you this but technical number of members does not = best site, in any area on the internet really, not just p2p. How many of them use the site properly, don't h&r or cheat, seed properly, fill requests, help other users etc? How secure is the site, how well coded is it, how experienced are the staff, how safe their sources, how well behaved with donations etc? Those are the important things. Perhaps torrentday also has the bestest users and staff ever, but just because its gained 50 trillion users in 4 months open doesn't necessarily make it great.

Oh, and btw, TD = Torrent Damage. Find another abbreviation, Tdy or something :)

Yes, I noticed this too. Speeds were also very slow for torrents with so many peers, whereas other big trackers such as TL or IPT manage to max out my download in no time. :huh:


torrents.ru - their torrents have 6-7k peers each of them, if you download, they will not allow you to get inside 4-7k peers at once, they will allow you to reach maximum to 50-60 peers first, they are doing this for anti piracy companies not to trace all swarm.

It is possible for the tracker to limit the amount of peers delivered, but most of them will just proceed to give you more IPs every time you ask.

Site can in fact limit how many peers you are allowed to connect to as Anon said. Most don't however. There are quite a few that will only give you 50 per scrape. Also the torrent client itself can limit how many you get if you check your settings.
I doubt limiting would have anything to do with anti-piracy. If they were worried about anti-piracy they would close open signups and mass advertising the site first imho.

Your obvious association with the site (ie. your incessant spamming of the 'trackers open for signup' thread) makes me ignore your post, but I will say that waving stuff in peoples' faces by advertising a torrent site on in banner ads cant be a good thing... don't even ask about my other suspicions about this site being a front or money grab cause I wont get into it.

I'm not fighting someone who loves so much and advertises a site like TorrentDay.

And yes, there's a site very similar to ScT, it's SCC.

That's your opinion about ScT ;)
I respect ur opinion. everyone have his own opinion.

in my opinion ScT was way too greater then SCC.
SCC is at the top now and i am a great fan of SCC but ScT had great functions and had a very clean design + was very attractive :yup:

My opinion is that SCC is better than ScT ever was because it has not yet become the exclusive playground of seedbox whores.However I think IPT owns them both in a big retarded bt ownage kind of way.
Don't care for SCC much either to tell the truth .When people are more concerned about how/where they download something rather what they actually download I kind of lose respect for them.Speaking of the members not the tracker/staff btw although I wouldn't recognize any of their staff if they ran me over in a pink Toyota.

PS Karagara rulez suck on that etc etc.

LookPic has some involvement with IPT (I think they own it - don't quote me on that). Also TD has been advertising torrents on TPB an example of which is 82E2883016B494EA1216B89A9DE9FD8179D7591C (http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=82e2883016b494ea1216b89a9de9fd8179d7591c) or go to TPB and add torrent/5322532/Daybreakers.DVDSCR.LINE.XviD-MENTiON

They can have a script up at other trackers to race releases from other trackers to their own, at which point all that's left is for users to join swarms.

It's possible, I remember there being guides on ScT about how to race ScT's releases to your own tracker, so...

go to torrents.ru

they show peers 9000+, if you download it, you will see only 3-5% of the peers.

Not connected but total peers, it will show only 3-5% ;) It won't even show you that torrent have 9k peers on it.

No. I think you're just blindly protecting the tracker.

I just downloaded the most popular torrent on IPT, with 4400 seeders.

ALL 4400 seeders show up on my client.

When I download from TorrentDay, it conveniently decides to always display exactly "half" the peers. Even when the peers are massive, with the site displaying 5200+, it only displays ~2600. And exactly half the leechers as well.

It's not that the site is preventing me from scraping more than 3-5% in case I'm a "copyright agency". There are blatantly lying about their peer count.

Not to mention the fact that their credibility is also undermined by the fact that they have lied and overexaggerated their member count by over 100,000. Care to explain that discrepancy as well?

Oh and your constant advertising of the site in the open signups thread, your undying praise of IPT in nearly everyone of your posts, and your odd, seemingly dedicated hatred of RevTT for no apparent reason certainly lend to your credibility as well.

This is not a site to trust.

Edit: I have tried downloading a torrent from torrents.ru. It appears to have a different system, where in the total peers column it will still only display the peers you are connected to. However, since on TD I see all of the 2000 peers immediately, it's obviously not using a similar system as torrents.ru and isn't a valid comparison between the two. Perhaps anon could elaborate more on how this works, I'm not really familiar with trackers.

Rart, torrents.ru and torrentday.com system is the same.

THEY DO NOT ALLOW FULL SCRAPE ! You know what the F**k is scrape ?
It means getting whole F**king peers from the database, imagine if there are 10k peers and every 10k member scrape fully the whole database for 10k peers, do you think their server will be stable ? HELL NO !

Very less trackers optimized their trackers not to allow FULL SCRAPE, i saw this option at torrents.ru and 3-4 more Russian sites.

They just do not allow full scrape, some of them allow 10%, some allows 30% or 50 or 60%.

Yes, I know. Scraping is returning the amounts of seeders and leechers for a certain info_hash. Not their IPs. Even if a torrent had 1000000 seeders and 1000000 leechers the bandwidth impact would be negligible for a single scrape request.

Now, Torrents.ru doesn't allow scraping because with over 1.5 million users, they save a lot of bandwidth, even if every request takes just ~1kB. It's not because scrape request themselves return the peers, increasing server load.


It means getting whole F**king peers from the database, imagine if there are 10k peers and every 10k member scrape fully the whole database for 10k peers, do you think their server will be stable ? HELL NO !

Wrong. Fire up a packet sniffer and see by yourself.


Very less trackers optimized their trackers not to allow FULL SCRAPE, i saw this option at torrents.ru and 3-4 more Russian sites.

They just do not allow full scrape, some of them allow 10%, some allows 30% or 50 or 60%.

I'd like to think you're confusing things due to your lack of knowledge rather than favoring TD here. It has already been explained before. You can control how many peers should be returned via the numwant parameter, but in the end it's up to the tracker. uTorrent asks for 200 peers on every announce, but T.ru only appears to return 50, which is also the default value from when no numwant is specified. Now, that isn't a percentage like you're saying - they'll give 50 peers regardless of it being the totality of the swarm or the torrent having a million seeders.

Feel free to post a TCP dump of an scrape request returning peers. I'll post one proving the opposite myself:


GET /scrape?info_hash=3%82%0d%b6%dd%5eY%28%d2%3b%c8%11%bb%ac%2fJ%e9L%b8%82 HTTP/1.1

Do you see any peer IPs there? I can't see any! The "files" dictionary only contains:

one key/value pair for each torrent for which there are stats

The rest of the values should be self-explanatory. "downloaded" is the amount of snatches on that torrent. "complete" is the amount of seeders. "incomplete" is the amount of leechers.

Also, let's have a look at the numwant thingy:

numwant: Optional. Number of peers that the client would like to receive from the tracker. This value is permitted to be zero. If omitted, typically defaults to 50 peers.

My quotes are from the BitTorrent protocol specification:

merwais
02-03-2010, 01:10 AM
anon-sbi, you should know, we are not talking about public tracker.

We are talking about private tracker.

Each torrent have a unique ID !
Each member have a unique passkey.
Each member have a unique row which records his total uploaded/downloaded amount and downloading/uploading speed and it counts as a 1 seeder(download) or 1 leecher(upload).

For Example.

If a torrent unique is: 123
and Torrent unique ID 123 have a total of 300 seeder and 50 leecher.
It means, there are 300 unique rows of seeders and 50 unique rows of leechers.

300+50 a total of 350 unique rows in MySQL database.

When client is sending a request to get total amount of peers.
Private tracker source sends a request to MySQL for the unique torrent ID to check the total amount of seeders and leechers.

It will plus all rows which includes seeders and leechers and sending back to the client.

row 1+2+3+4+5 = [total] and sends back to torrent client and it shows how many peers the unique torrent have in your torrent client.

In order to decrease MySQL load, some trackers have limited this request and only allowing to search only 5% or 50% of the peers which is in their MySQL database.

Limiting searching whole table for total peers is a great improvement for private trackers, if every single member send request to get all 350 rows, MySQL will be F**ked up ;)

and anon-sbi, you know it better how a torrent client works, it updates every 30 minute or 1 hour. it means requesting whole peers list every 30 or 1 hour and some buggy torrent clients have enabled update, members can update 100 times in a minute if they want to. they will start spamming and there will be a BIG MySQL FLOOD and site will be inaccessible !

Hope this makes things clear for you Mr.anon-sbi! :naughty:

Rart: please, if you can't put something useful to make this topic interesting then please STFU and read only. PLEASE!!!
It won't get you anywhere and you know it better ;)

I am unaware of the coding aspects of trackers so I'll leave anon-sbi to respond (at least I can admit that I'm clueless, heh).

Merwais, let me ask you this: This entire time you have been completely dodging the fact that TorrentDay has been lying about over 100,000 of their fictual members in order to fake the fact that their tracker is doing well. Not to mention the fact that right after /delacct.php was mentioned in this thread, they removed the link to keep the members there.

How can you so concretely believe that TD is legitimately limiting the amount of peers we see when their integrity is already more than compromised in other areas of the site?

The odds are most certainly not in their favor.

merwais
02-03-2010, 01:46 AM
@Rart: I am not 100% sure if Torrentday is limiting their peers or not, maybe they faked or maybe not. I can't judge coz i am not 100% sure about it.

I am just saying Torrents.ru and some other torrentsites have peers limitation option, that's all.

How on earth i would know about delaccount.php or whateva, there are enough members who reviewed this topic. over 4k members reviewed this topic and keep reviewing...

I don't give a shit about Torrentday or torrents.ru
I am just explaining how things works, that's all.

Rart
02-03-2010, 01:50 AM
You don't "give a shit" about TorrentDay?

The fact that you posted their site in the open signup thread about 10 times while advertising that they're "the gateway to the scene" would beg to differ.

And you still seem persistent on completely avoiding the fact that they seemed to have lied about over 100,000 members in their nonexistent userbase. How do you think that affects the integrity of the site?

02-03-2010, 02:09 AM
I like Torrentday and their speed and layout.
I don't have access to their database to know how many members they really have, so i can't tell you that.

about advertising, yeah, they asked their members to help them out.
I was helping for 3-4 weeks and posting their ads everywhere.

I was posting here also but someone asked me to stop posting/spamming, i stopped posting their ads. that's all.

maybe they have 1k or 100k or 200k, i am not sure about their user base but they are getting famous too fast ;)

TL have 180k registered members, their torrents have 180k peers ? NO :P
Every tracker have idle users. hope u know it ;)

I do know about the possibility of having an "idle" userbase, but the fact of the matter is that rather than just being idle, on Torrentday 100,000 member ID's are blatantly missing. It's not a matter of having part of the user base idle (which is even more likely in a new tracker like TD where users may have joined on a whim), it's the fact that while UserID's go up to 200,000, there aren't any that exist under 99,000. Which means that they are most certainly lying about there userbase, not that 100k users are "idle".

And with that kind of integrity, those snatch numbers should be taken with a grain of salt at best.

Also - how often do users who are just "casually" asked to advertise the tracker willing to spend 3-4 weeks spamming a tracker url on forums? I think it's safe to say that you're a little more dedicated to the tracker than "not giving a shit".

We do not keep log of what you have downloaded !
We do not keep log of what you have uploaded !
We do not log Members IP addresses !
We do not log members activity at all !
We are just collecting some numbers which is your seeding amount and your uploaded amount only.


And this as well...




There is only and one Rule at TorrentDay: Share Back and keep a proper ratio. A 1.0 Ratio is acceptable.
Do not advertise other torrent sites.
You can download from TorrentDay.com and upload wherever ever you want. TorrentDay is all about Sharing. All we want from you is Seed back when you download something from TorrentDay.

There are two kinds of scrape, official and official+unofficial
official returns these keys ONLY!!!
a main key called Files, has pair of key/value of these
- complete: peers with 100%, ones who sent event=completed and still on the torrent(in other words.. Seeds).
- downloaded: how many times "event=completed" was sent (ie, snatches)
- incomplete: meaning the leeches
- name: sometimes trackers use it, sometimes they don't.
UNOFFICIAL:
failure reason
flags (contains min_request_interval)

Public, private, grandpa's tracker or even grandma's tracker... that's the Scrape info.


having that said, what merwais said about cutting percentage of the peer list, that happens ONLY with REALLY REALLY popular torrents, and even small trackers with 5Kpeers on a torrent, they can handle that.

anon
02-03-2010, 06:12 PM
anon-sbi, you should know, we are not talking about public tracker.

We are talking about private tracker.

The scrape procedure is exactly the same.


Each torrent have a unique ID !

The SHA1 hash, yes.


Each member have a unique passkey.

Which is part of the URL.


For Example.

...

300+50 a total of 350 unique rows in MySQL database.

When client is sending a request to get total amount of peers.
Private tracker source sends a request to MySQL for the unique torrent ID to check the total amount of seeders and leechers.

It will plus all rows which includes seeders and leechers and sending back to the client.

This is where you're getting it wrong. As far as I can see, the tracker doesn't go through all the rows to send you the totals. The counts are calculated like this:


$ret = mysql_query("INSERT INTO peers ... or err('tracker error');
if ($ret)
{
if ($seeder == "yes")
$updateset[] = "seeders = seeders + 1";
else
$updateset[] = "leechers = leechers + 1";
}

That's a fragment from announce.php from the TBdev source. The "..." means I cut off that part because it was too long, feel free to check it out here:
http://www.koders.com/php/fidE3B1B27C4B87417AA047975CD7D18F5FF2C756F9.aspx?s=mysql

If seeder = yes (meaning someone just jumped the torrent with &left=0), then seeders = the old amount of seeders plus 1. Else (someone jumped with a non-zero &left= value), leechers = the old amount of seeders plus 1. That's how the seeder and leecher numbers are calculated. The tracker doesn't go through all the rows. It only sends those amounts.

If the guy has stopped the torrent, we do the opposite, i.e. subtract one from the according amount:

if ($event == "stopped")
{
if (isset($self))
{
mysql_query("DELETE FROM peers WHERE $selfwhere");
if (mysql_affected_rows())
{
if ($self["seeder"] == "yes")
$updateset[] = "seeders = seeders - 1";
else
$updateset[] = "leechers = leechers - 1";
}
}
}

I think you're confusing scraping with announcing and how some trackers won't give you all the peer IPs you request here. Furthermore, the latter doesn't happen because of anti-piracy agencies, but simple bandwidth saving, and the tracker only gives you a set amount of peers, not a %.


and anon-sbi, you know it better how a torrent client works

I can assure you I know how torrent clients work.

By the way, it's interesting to see how I mentioned delacct.php and now it's gone, then I mentioned the Top 10 and now it's gone... perhaps I should talk about browse.php? :huh:

Impersonating? Here's a quote from NxTGeNSySoP


I'm going to sort this out.

aXXo is alive.

He still releases movies. He has stopped from public trackers and moved on to 1 private tracker.

If you would like to know the name of that tracker, then PM me.

aXXo is a administrator on there and he is the top uploader there.

Of course you know, that aXXo first started off on Darksider_RG.

If you followed his posts on the forum and on his profile, his last few posts as well as the
moderators mentioned the site he was moving too and why he stopped released on public
trackers.

To the world, aXXo's alias is the #1 movie ripper out there, the MPAA is after him,
if he keeps on public trackers then he WILL be dead.

He is very much alive, and I've even spoken with him. He releases 3-5 movies a week
and they all hit that tracker first before it is anywhere else.

So all the aXXo releases you see going up here on IPT are real.

I hope I don't see more aXXo threads going up. If you do, please direct the posters here.

Regards,
NGS.

I personally couldn't give two hoots about aXXo :P

At the end of the day, if they are dishonest when reporting the number of seeders & leechers then it doesn't fill you with confidence as to how honestly they would deal with you does it?

In some points you're right anon-sbi. Mhm, good speed for everyone i think is different. For me i can download maximum speed from TD.. of course speed is better when seeders number is bigger. With not much seeders speed is quite slow and i don't comparing this tracker with TL, revTT, IPT or other big, fast tracker.

If you look in the torrent list on TorrentDay, EVERY seeder number is an even number, and it is EXACTLY double the information that the tracker reports.

TorrentDay is padding their number of seeders for some reason, and I don't like deception.

They also have a new way to gouge money from it's member's too.

They don't allow requests, BUT if you are willing to "donate" they will upload what you want.

go to torrents.ru

they show peers 9000+, if you download it, you will see only 3-5% of the peers.

Not connected but total peers, it will show only 3-5% ;) It won't even show you that torrent have 9k peers on it.

If a tracker is preventing you to scrape whole peers list from their database, then that doesn't mean Peers are wrong or whateva.

You are paranoid or maybe acting like a dumb ;) !!!

No. I think you're just blindly protecting the tracker.

I just downloaded the most popular torrent on IPT, with 4400 seeders.

ALL 4400 seeders show up on my client.

When I download from TorrentDay, it conveniently decides to always display exactly "half" the peers. Even when the peers are massive, with the site displaying 5200+, it only displays ~2600. And exactly half the leechers as well.

It's not that the site is preventing me from scraping more than 3-5% in case I'm a "copyright agency". There are blatantly lying about their peer count.

Not to mention the fact that their credibility is also undermined by the fact that they have lied and overexaggerated their member count by over 100,000. Care to explain that discrepancy as well?

Oh and your constant advertising of the site in the open signups thread, your undying praise of IPT in nearly everyone of your posts, and your odd, seemingly dedicated hatred of RevTT for no apparent reason certainly lend to your credibility as well.

This is not a site to trust.

Edit: I have tried downloading a torrent from torrents.ru. It appears to have a different system, where in the total peers column it will still only display the peers you are connected to. However, since on TD I see all of the 2000 peers immediately, it's obviously not using a similar system as torrents.ru and isn't a valid comparison between the two. Perhaps anon could elaborate more on how this works, I'm not really familiar with trackers.

I really cant read all this because I think that site dont deserve that. I registered when they started and from very same start they faked seeders and leachers. EVERY SEEDER WAS DOUBLED. So when You see 2 seeders its actualy one guy seeding. There were NO impair number of seeders there. Same was with leechers but they made some script to change that. Last time I checked they also had pair number of seeders. Check it Yourself, they have pair number of seeder on EVERY TORRENT. They build up their user base upon LIES and that will not end up good...

True. Look at the review screenshots and all the numbers of seeders and leechers are even.

What puzzles me is that I don't really know why they do that. At best, the sysop wanted to be "famous", installed a TBdev script on a server, and faked the stats so that people would be attacted. At worst, it's something much different - like a honeypot.

I truely think that torrentday is faking with the nr. of users, seeds og leechers.

I rarely use torrentday, but when I download something, then I observed that they have ( exampel ) 30 seeds and 10 leechers. Somehow my pc connects to only 5 seeds and few leechers. In addition of that, the speed is sometimes incredibly low.

I'm not really planing to use this tracker in the future, since I'm too suspecious for that site. Everybody can create an account, also unwanted ones ( MPAA etc ). I'm not feeling safe with that site. I'll let my account stay untouched and hopefully my account will be disabled for inactivity.

Never joined this site. Not defending it either but could it be that members have DHT turned on in their clients,would that record every external download? If mentioned in this thread,I was too lazy to look back.

I reviewed all these comments 24 hours ago but didn't comment ;)
Just reading, not interested in anon-sbi comments really. he just leaves BS comments.

P.S: anon-sbi, stop your BS because only stupids will believe your BS, you are a cheater and will always remain a cheater ;) - if you are not a cheater then prove it else STFU ! :yup:

Should probably read...



P.S: everyone, I will stop all my BS now, because only stupids will believe your me, on a complete side note, and not that it has any fucking relevance to TD faking their stats whatsoever, you are a cheater and will always remain a cheater ;) - if you are not a cheater then prove it else STFU ! :yup:

I corrected that and added in a little bit myself... you may have noticed :) Just a minor edit, but I find it to be a lot more accurate :)

Just a quick question, does the "I" in this particular instance stand for something other than the usual ?
I'm just curious if the staff of IPT and I could possibly of similar opinion.

The only bullshit comment I see here is yours. You denigrate my posts and claim not to be interested, yet you always reply to them with the same stuff. :rolleyes:

Well, for starters, I don't use torrents anymore. I've switched to one-click hosters. And I don't even "cheat" those by changing my IP or anything, since I have Premium accounts.

Why do still I keep on posting in the BT sections on a daily basis? I couldn't stand missing the fun and drama supplied by FST, as well as giving other users a hand with stuff whenever possible. The fact I no longer use something doesn't mean I've discarded all my knowledge about it.

How can you know I'm not lying? You have my word.

Does it mean anything to you? Probably not.

Do I really care? Nope. Got better things to do.

And if I always leave "bullshit comments", then feel free to add me to your ignore list.

While we're at it, may as well ask what the "IP" in IPT means. I doubt it's Internet Protocol Torrents or "I pee torrents". :happy:

Are you guys talking about the same Torrentday that has this banner Currently we have 1,027,139 registered members. ?How can you say it's the next TL?. TL has 200.000 member's give or take a few hunderd.
Been a member there since that banner said about 200.000 user's and thought it was ok.
Dont use it much now because of the way they brag to the world how many user's there are.
So i kind of figure..mmm, how many are keeping a proper ratio?, why should i give them my Seedbox bandwidth then?
So only use it to keep my acc active.

Don't worry, they won't delete your account for inactivity. Just went check and mine isn't disabled, after not having logged in for around 6 months. :rolleyes:

Yes, but unlike it's the case at TorrentDay, all of TL's members actually exist! :happy:
