FTN - Why so special?

[DarkestShine]

As per title, why is FTN portrayed as the god of private torrent sites?

Surely it's got to be more than just pre-times and speeds..

[Rigel9]

epeen

[t00z]

on top of pre-times and speed:

ratio-free, packs, retention

[bijoy]

cause: getting an invite is very hard.. lol

[chrisbeebops]

Buddy.

(Most people probably won't get this.)

[IdolEyes787]

(Most people probably won't get this equally obtuse and self-serving remark either)

To answer the original question seeing as there are other ratio-free sites,ones with packs:dabs:, better pretimes:sick: ,way better retention and are "harder to get an invite to":mellow: since you apparently have at least the brain power required to type coherent sentences I leave it to you to figure out the answer for yourself.

[Stabber]

In my opinion the reason is how difficult is to get an invite to this place . Most of the people who manage to get in don't even use ftn . I remember when sct was online most of the ftn members where using sct instead of ftn , because of the content and the big number of peers

[chrisbeebops]

Surprisingly (although there's plenty of that sort of talk in some channels), I definitely have intelligent conversations in IRC more often than I see them here. I also find it ironic that the most intelligent posts here are generally wildly off-topic :lol:

[b3owulf]

It's not special, it's hyped. Only because invites are rare.

@ca_aok This ^^^ post is not offtopic. And I guess that's prolly the most intelligent post that could be posted ONTOPIC. The topic itself isn't too intelligent and inttellectual, and people post intelligent things here since bumping old but interesting threads isn't too good idea. In the end, the irony is kinda logical :)

Recommend me a channel that has such conversations, and I'll idle there for eternity (well, and converse when I'm at my computer, of course).

Whatcd VIP. But it's too exclusive for you :P

[ca_aok]

Whatcd VIP. But it's too exclusive for you :P
There's plenty of spam that goes on there too, but in general it's nice :)

Tracker channels in general, especially those on 0-day sites are particularly bad. That doesn't mean there's never a good conversation there, but there's plenty of spam thrown in as well. I dunno, personally I idle in a few genre-based music channels, there's also a channel with ~15 close friends that's nice for keeping in touch. Some channels on freenode are great for getting tech help with stuff that's poorly documented or overwhelming (I've had great help with general linux inquiries, rutorrent, ZNC, etc). Really it boils down to whether you like the people in the channel more than the actual content.

I can say I've definitely had conversations ranging from politics to religion to coding to drugs to who knows what else though, and I learn something new all the time. Now whether the hundreds of spammed news and nsfw links and 1337speak is a worthwhile tradeoff, that's up to you.

It's also worth noting that pretty much anyone I've been friendly with in the torrenting world has been met via IRC, and I don't think there were any of those so called "1337" trackers that I joined that weren't at least indirectly from someone I knew in IRC. I'm only really a forum poster on a few sites and I'm pretty particular about which forums I post in as well, so I'm not really that visible in that respect. Because of that I always try to return the favour as much as possible.

Honestly once i got in i was extremely excited,Till i opened the browser page and was like wtf are you serious.
Same reaction with ukt and all the other hard ass hell the get an invite sites.

I think none of them hold a candle to TL&IPT especially if you got a seedbox (security reasons solved).

so it's diffidently a EPENIS thing.

It is not reasonable to think FTN with a 6k userlimit could possibly keep as many torrents alive as TL, which has what? 200k members?

I don't really care about this enough to give details on why FTN isn't what the majority of people make it out to be, or name the countless other sites out there that are better(besides, everything I have to say I'm sure has been said before, and been said better).

[Stabber]

Ftn is good because of the rarity of it . Sct was 10 times better , better speeds , active community ,better content and pretime . But for a small userbase ftn is pretty active and get's decent speeds

[Cabalo]

Just for curiosity's sake, what are the stats (seeds/leechers/snatches) for the latest true blood episode (s03e08), both the xvid and 720p scene releases?

FTN doesnt have the fastest pre times, or the most torrents, though for 6k members it does have alot, it has great packs , but so do most sites now, they did start the "great pack thing though" what it has for its members who have been there for years and years like me is the feeling like really comfy old shoes. you know people there, can get most anything your looking for, or someone will for you, a superb forum community with all the information you could want. more members and more torrents isnt the be all and end all.

At least you didn't mention pretimes or packs.
Or say that it has a great community which doesn't classify as fact but only opinion.

But the WTAW review from 3 years ago states that it has super awesome pretimes, unbelievably amazing exclusive packs, the best community on the internet, and will actually allow you to use your keyboard as a toaster.

If bread is so great why hasn't it caught on then?

[tippertime]

the hype machine rolls on...FTN is a nice site, great if you have a shitty connection, but there are a lot of popular torrents it just never seems to get, Forums are fairly active (but not even close to how ScT was) but I could tell you anything and you will still try to get in, so I dunno why I waste my time

You haven't heard of ppp.tv (passtheporn.tv)? It's the best and you get like a bad ratio if you download less than you upload. It's like so awesome.

[IdolEyes787]

Yeah but does it have the awesome community of FTN ?

I thought not.

Btw just the other day I was browsing this rate that ass thread there and guys ( at least I assume they were guys.They could have been girls for all I know as they did come off as pretty effeminate) were posting like 7,5,9.You may not believe this but someone actually post a 10 .Lol I kid you not Good times .Good times.

The community is good in the sense that people compete their seedboxes against each other to get the most upload, so the site is able to pull off no ratio and no seed time required for casual members. No other 0day will do that, which at least for me is the appeal of FTN. Fast(er) as nzbs, and the same lack of hassle involved. If you measure community by user IQ, I'd bet FTN is no better than any other torrent site.

The only reason FTN is so sought after is its rarity. Its not a very good tracker if you're actually looking for content. They used to have good packs, but even that nearly stopped nowadays. They're slow on pretimes and sometimes releases dont even get on there at all.

Long story short, FTN is not worth getting on.

I like sites that have my preferred choice of content. I also like trackers, in which you aren't being begged (actually more like threatened) on constant basis to donate. Only crappy sites with crappy users end up like that. Also, I prefer trackers that won't take me 15 seconds to load the main page.

Fair enough, I know a lot of people that feel the same way (including people that believe every tracker out there is run badly). On the other hand, though, I've seen you complain about plenty of trackers, with incredible disregard to people who might feel the same way you do in this quote, towards the tracker you are criticizing.

The world isn't perfect, and trackers are probably one of the uglier corners of the internet considering the people they attract, but there's little reason to keep convincing people of that fact over and over.

FTN surprised me. Kind of expected the place to fail to meet my expectations. However, once I got in, FTN has turned out to be something quite special. Always seems to be some activity in the IRC, and there are a few interesting threads in the forums. However, what I fell in love with at FTN is the packs. I know I know, you see invite requests all the time "blah blah community and packs and pre times blah blah blah" but end of the day, those simple things really are what make me enjoy it.

[sake]

Thank you guys :)

[beco]

Why so special? Due to ftn .
the same community , the same source , the same name , the same logo ..the same spam by the team :).. all this years .
pre time and all this technical issues This is not the purpose to be special i believe .
To several of us already there are children that in a while go to the school since FTN exists .
ftn survived times that other communities unfortunately fell in them ...even ftw... (but rabbit for ever of course !!!)

go gona find here so many opinions ...successfully mate.

For people with bad connections ftn is very useful but if you have a good connections just use scc

[Cabalo]

Even with a good connection is hard to survive there.
Unless you start downloading stuff you never intended to, to build a ratio. Which makes no sense to me.

[Tutela]

No it's nt really, just by leaving my client open, and every njw and again downloading the odd TV show, with a limited enough connection )100KB/s upload max) I;'ve managed to gain about a 10-15GB buffer, which is enough to download anything I want. If you seed, and are patient there's no problems, people just expect "oh I seed and now I should be safe"

Excuse my naïveté but I can't see how any pack could make a tracker's content improve. What is so great about the packs there; and how are FTN's packs better than say SCC's packs?

[Night0wl]

For people with bad connections ftn is very useful but if you have a good connections just use scc

You don't even need good connection. I have only 0.5MBit up and have about 1.8 ratio just by mainly using the general section. All the free leech stuff, maybe 200MB in programs and not a single mp3 since I prefer FLAC. Just seed and you'll be ok.

[blurayripper]

It's hard to argue that it isn't a special tracker, has loads of good content, great pre-times and is for sure somewhat elitist. You have a small active liberal laid back community comprised of experienced torrenters that feel blessed to be there or and/or entitled to say what they feel every post they make. Now that get's a little annoying for it kind of at times feels like no one really gives a shit about others posts and opinions. Coming from the NY area i would rather see more interaction than the constant ass kissing from new members hoping to get the higher ups attention. What perplexes me is no one really questions the high monthly donation requirements but they will come up with 50 different issues or additions that could to make the place even "cooler" and lately every month were are reminded how it may all end if that donation percentage isn't reached. Naturally this distresses the freeloaders, constant donors and the sensitive liberals. There's definetly a west coast hippy type feel in there and i would never want any member there backing me up if i was about to get into a fight lol. Much rather have some shady PT or Iplay Metal steel pipe wielding cats backing me up. That being said it's still a relaxing tracker to use if you have a fast connection, deep pockets and don't mind at times seeding for several days. I would surely miss it if it disapeared tomorrow.

[Night0wl]

Their problem is their content and setup is a dime a dosen.

[Tutela]

No ringhunter. I seed everything I download, so I download... anything... bar the odd game(Star wars force unleashed *grumbles*), and I still have enough upload to spare at the end (maybe 4 or 5 GB) that I don't have to worry about being banned for downloading, and still have enough room to download even without seeding back for a while, and then just seed what I've downloaded...


It's hard to argue that it isn't a special tracker, has loads of good content, great pre-times and is for sure somewhat elitist. You have a small active liberal laid back community comprised of experienced torrenters that feel blessed to be there or and/or entitled to say what they feel every post they make.

2 parts of that are true. Your right, it is a special tracker, and it is elitist It has the EXACT same content as every other 0day tracker. The pre-times are slower than TL or RevTT. The community is a good bt community. A good bt community seems to be one with lots of posters. In every other forum I frequent, not ONE of them has people iwth 1000 posts or 2000 posts, all from playing stupid counting games, and yet here that's how we judge a commmunity. Sure, the IRC is good fun, but there's plenty of better ones out there.These forums are better than FTN's...

Now that get's a little annoying for it kind of at times feels like no one really gives a shit about others posts and opinions. Coming from the NY area i would rather see more interaction than the constant ass kissing from new members hoping to get the higher ups attention.

I think I love you.:wub:Hopefully you are a sheep pre-operative transgender girl.

Thanks IdolEyes787, but at best i might got a cute cousin i could refer you to.

Isin't FTN ratio less? :unsure:

Isin't FTN ratio less? :unsure:

It is. Which is actually confusing the heck out of me, right now, considering Night0wl himself also commented on maintaining a ratio there. I mean, I know I'm not a stellar seeder (the oldest torrent in my client goes back to 12/4/2009, an ScT torrent for nostalgia) but I simply don't see a reason to care about ratio there. I can't even tell what my ratio is, though, I could just tally up the torrent history numbers.

Gawd,I hope you get a warning for low ratio haha :naughty:

They're talking about SCC.

FTN has good software packs, and some movies packs are also very good and have rare movies

No offense but since software is very task specific what would you put in a software pack besides games that an individual would find across the board useful?:unsure:
Also IPT has great movie packs with a lot of rarities also freeleech so unless they are pilfering them all from FTN I don't see how that makes FTN special?

Good luck on the FSC thing btw as I hear that they also have packs there.:unsure:

Why has it all at a great speed and ratio free

Why has it all at a great speed and ratio free

All what? Because I checked and I'm fairly sure that it doesn't have Dragon Tiger Gate or They Might be Giants.:unsure:

1-the FTN staff were so good to make their site the most wanted site
2-traders always raise up the tracker value . one invite can get u any other tracker
3-Free ratio tracker - high download speed great pre time ..... etc
that's my opinion . is it right or not i really don't know ?

[Element4l]

Yeah, FTN is the perfect thing for trading against anything else. I used to have one invite back in the day and everybody tripped balls. I gave it away for free since I already had a bunch of trackers. Days are different now, and I ignored my accounts for about a year and lost them all :/

Malaysia generally does not allow p2p activity, generally no Malaysian hosting firm allows the use of p2p activities (i.e seed box), so i dont know how can ftn server be their in Malaysia, i dont know about FTN server but this is general.

Thanks, dude. I used to post around here a little back in the day, but I guess they reset the forums/post count etc. Hopefully I can get back into this and rebuild my whole torrent-world with my new internet connection :D oh my!
