View Full Version : best tracker to give your all to...?

I was wondering which tracker would you all choose if you only had one tracker to become the best user you could be on? By that I mean, reaching the highest userclass. In choosing, be sure to consider the benefits because of all the hard work spent attaining the super elite user class. (i.e. invites to whatever forum/tracker/etc.)

Personally, since I never really watch television and I very rarely watch movies, I have chosen as my goal to become eliteTM on What.cd. (I love karoake and singing!) I am well on my way there also. But it is a hell of a lot of work attaining 500 perfect FLACs. I'm positive I don't have the HDD space for it either. I'm just doubting if eliteTM on What is something that I really should be putting so much time into. :)

In this hypothetical situation, is it like we make a wish and magically attain the highest status on a particular tracker, or we have to work for it? Because in the latter case... I think I'd waste my time on something I enjoy more :ermm:

I've reached Elite on what.cd which was my end goal, and was easily accomplished in a day of uploading obscure punk albums after finally getting the data transfer requirements. I don't see an advantage in getting higher than Elite on Whatcd, unless of course you already have special access to FLAC warez that you can get torrentmaster easily enough without spending tons of money, or you are already buying your potential uploads anyways.

Is there a particular reason you want EliteTM? If you invest so much effort, money, and time into Whatcd, it will just hurt that much more if it gets taken down by a government agency (which is an eventuality)

Any particular reason why? I've never even heard of that tracker before... Perhaps that's your site?... :/

Well, they are my dad's CDs but I have to physically travel to his house to work on uploading everyday which is a 30 minute drive one-way. I don't really have any particular reason for me wanting EliteTM status besides getting an invite to the last few foreign language trackers that I am looking for. Also, on this same train-of-thought, I was thinking that if I achieve that userclass on What, then I will be able to get invites to great sites that might pop up in the future at any random time. Kind of like establishing myself permanently as a good, reliable user in the BT community if that's possible. I was thinking like -> "What.cd is a super reputable tracker and let's say some new tracker pops up that is the best [Arabic OR Spanish/etc.] tracker and I try to acquire an invite. I'm asked why do I deserve an invite. I show them that I'm EliteTM on What and hopefully I get the invite or have a better chance of getting it." I hope that makes sense. I forgot to mention that I'm PU on What.cd so far and pretty close to being Elite.

But, if I'm wrong on any of this, please let me know. Because I really don't want to be doing all this darn work for nothing, and I do truly have better things to do with my time... I guess I can say that I'm almost at the point to where I'm complete in regard to BT. I only participate to get music from What.cd and practice my language skills with other members on the foreign language trackers I'm a part of since these bittorrenters just love to chat/troll which helps me practice my language skills a lot.

Do it if you actually enjoy the site, don't just do it for status. You'll get burnt out and it won't be worth it in the end.

I am too a music torrents uploader and I invest too much of time, money and effort into it but this is not for having and status or anything for me. I just share my music collection because it's kinda very rare stuff and I Want to Spread/promote it as much as possible that's the reason why I only upload it onto the public trackers.

Btw I assume that is the same kind of sexist bullshit that results in page after page of comments on tracker forums about the Men's World Cup and a total ignoring of the Women's.

I just think you are a moron, male or female, doesn't really matter. You have been hoarding invites here at FST with some kind og bullshit explanation that you wanted the best trackers in every nationality. A lot of FST-members might have bought that BS, I didn't (call me paranoid if you want). You have been begging for invites to every tracker out there, and now you claim you are not interested at all in TV, nor movies. WTF buddy ... you really think we're all retarded or what???

I call you on your BS, this thread is just another example ... who the fuck wants to invest to become super el3te-class, dumbo? You share because you want to, not to become some kind of el3te-user anywhere and gather some more invites or whatever membership to some super-duper-shitty-tracker. That's what has gone wrong with BT ... peeps just rent some seedbox, throw some shit in it and are on top off the world in no time. Add to that a 24/7 presence in IRC and some massive forum-spamming and you have the pleasure to meet today BT-el3te ... a sad bunch of lowlifes, with no life, hardly a brain and sticking their heads deep in others (staff and über-users) asses everywhere.

Why can't I be the highest userclass at all the trackers at, say above level 5? That'd be uber cool, like all my Pokemons leveled up and shiz.

Btw, What.cd is easy to get into. Choose another site, n00b!

in a way i agree with disme (apart from the name calling), whats the point, like i have always said just because someone has 100 ratio with 1 gig downloaded and 100 gig uploaded, doesnt really make them a good member, they could just be a prick with a seedbox, someone with 1tb downloaded and 1 tb uploaded with 300 torrents downloaded in their history is a lot better member, even though on most trackers out there, because they have a 1 ratio they are just a user (and will never get promoted unless they stop downloading and just seed, which lets be honest, is no bloody good for a private tracker).

Hehe, I don't agree 100% with the way you worded it, but I do agree you should share shit you want to share, not just because of some l33t reward structure. Most of the movies I try to share are OOP (out of print) or just being hoarded on some auction site for $100+ dollars, which most cinephiles can't really afford. With the additional idea that the original directors/producers don't see a dime off of these 2nd/x hand sales, it is sad. Therefore, that's why I do what I do: if you do it for the userclass, get to the elite zone you want to; 99/100 you will feel it was too much work for the "reward". Share for the want for people to hear/see what they wouldn't have the chance to see/hear otherwise, that what this whole P2P/DDL shit is all about, niot this e-peen shit.

How do you guys live with so little music? I have ~400GB downloaded there, not to mention probably hundreds of GB of stuff during the occasional sitewide freeleech (I went through a while back and replaced all my crappy limewire 128kbps files with V0 MP3, for example).

I have

Whatcd: Snatched: 1,673
Waffles: Snatches: 840

I haven't taken advantage of a music site freeleech in quite awhile though, because I have everything I really want in good quality already, and enough buffer on whatcd that it doesnt really matter when I snatch. and btw waffles appears to be on freeleech right now :)

How do you guys live with so little music?

Once upon a time in a far off , near mythical land called Yesterday there existed something called radio.
And the people listened and were happy.
Or relatively until sometime around 1977 and the emergence of an evil called disco.
This evil was very strong and took many terrible forms like KC and the Sunshine Band and The Bee Gees but the most horrible went by the unassuming name of The Village People.
Under them the land of Yesterday fell into a long and barren winter and only the coming of the noble Grunge Knight Sir Cobain of Seattle finally brought relief to the land.

Similar artists schemes, suggestions from friends, recommendation engines like last.fm, etc. You can see if you like the tracks first via youtube/last.fm/pandora/grooveshark/etc.

Or you can just blindly try stuff that looks interesting. If it sucks, you can always delete the album.

It's all part of my love ... love for altruistic guys and gals that share without expecting anything in return. People that anonymously fill requests everywhere without ever bragging about it, without the need to be part of 'the best' trackers.

Anywhoo ... I have seen the OP post here numerous times asking for the best trackers of any nationality because he/she/it (whatever) was interested in learning languages ... and he/she/it prolly got a lot of 'em like that ... now he/she/it is claiming not to love TV and movies, but I bet he's a member of a bunch of trackers that specialise in this material.

And what's there to know about trackers where people would give their all??? There's no objective answers to such question. A tracker might appeal to me and make me upload, seed a bunch, fill requests etc, but might be considered as a shitty tracker by others. So why asking??? To get some more invites to non-tv and non-movies tracker, so the OP can later claim he/she/it doesn't really like music.

Bottom line ... I've been in this 'BT-scene' for way too long and sometimes I (and some others) have to face the consequences. In this case the OP and the recent 'BT-el3te'.
