Why ftn now is Level 8?

It just doesn't work because it encourages trades a lot more than giveaways and people start asking for ridiculous trades because it's a level 9-10. Yes right now the best trackers are lvel 8 and below. Heck some of the best trackers are level 2-3 or level 4-5.

TL
RevTT
TTI
Oink
BitmeTV
Bitme

So it's a stupid and unfair way to decribe trackers. Just have a rating based on pre times, speed and content and the true winners should come to the light. And the stupid trades should stop and hopefully more people will start sharing more which is what invites are for.

Like I said before, a lot of trackers now really need proper reviews since they have got a lot better. Really overrated trackers also need a proper review so people can actually see what these trackers really have to offer.

Saulin what are u saying that the most opened less secure trackers are the best? :D.

I agree with the reviews... especially uk-t :D.

Yes because they are. Nothing beats Oink for Music, Nothing beats BitmeTV for TV stuff and we all know that TL and RevTT kick ass as general trackers, Bitme is the best educational tracker and TTI is looking very good.

These trackers have content. They are fairly easy to seed on, they got speeds etc..

Of course SweDVDR is a sweet one as well and so is NB. SCT as well and should be a lot easier to seed there than on FTN.

But yeah besides rarity what makes UK-T lvl 10? What the hell makes Exigo and FTWR level 9 except rarity?

The point is that lower lvl trackers are very good and very underrated because of the rarity rating system at FST.

Yeah your are so right. Though I think the "higher" rated trackers often has a better community, some of them : / ( for example swedvdr and sct). I don't think all of them deserves to be way up there.. like uk-t i don't even know why it's on the list it's impossible to get in and u don't need it if you don't wanna be apart of the "family" :D.

TL was my first private site .. it was so difficult to get an invite .. then i started to read about different sites and level here in FST .. IMHO i have never seen a tracker as good as TL ( yea.. i have FTN ,ScT ,BITMETV etc etc ) .. OINK is an exception .. if patriot foreve havent started that rarity thingy .. people might have started to giveaway more...

Maybe add the 2 ratings together to have one complete rating - SCT & FTN would then top the list, which most ppl would probably agree with and TL would be above the middle-mark.

It was 1-5 before :D..

i know sites that not even on list and they are top scene site shshshh

Oink BitmeTV shud be lv10 that what i think and TL is two low TL shud be 7 or 8
sct 10 ftn 9 uk-t 7 thats how i look at it by pre time

We should all talk to staff about this because if allot of people came froward maybe things would change!

FTN just moved up to lvl 9.

how long was it level 8, one day, and for what, so friends of staff could get them easier, wtf, don't get this shit
and i agree that trackers should be rated by speed, content and pre, and then TL would be best for content, Sct for speed, and SCC for pre, and they would be the highest rated sites, the whole rarity shit makes no sense at all

Word! I tried to tradering some lv3-4 trackers for an FTN invite, but he wanted an Swedvdr account with min. 100gb buffer, FSC, good buffered BitMeTV account... I have Swedvdr with 400gb buffer, but dont mind to give this for an FTN invite, because i have TorrentLeech ^^ Swedvdr should be at LV9, not FTN.

I think any get disappointed if they tradered an Swedvdr account with high buffer for an FTN invite. Good to be warned.

totally agree with you, FTN can't give you nothing above TL, swedvdr can, and it's the only site I need to have a complete set of everything I need, OiNK for music, TL for content, sct for speed, and now waiting for swedvdr for dvdrs :P

mikechrobot ull have to wait atleast till september :P

whats happening in september

someone said that swedvdr might enable invites again..

I feel there is too much hue and cry about these so called 'rare' trackers. I am a member at almost all (including F*N, FT*R, Exigo, UK-t and many others). I have compared many times with simpler sites. Out of any given 100 torrents on these sites, you will find atleast 98 on other sites like Torrentleech, Pisexy, Powerbits, Norbits and Swebits.Atleast 8 to 9 times, I have downloaded a torrent wich had only few seeds (2 or 3, for example, Titan*C DVDR 7.36 GB) from Powerbits and still I got awesome speeds. NB, Powerbits and TL offer great speeds. I have NEVER been disappointed at these sites. I am a memebr at those 'rare' sites since last 1 year or so, but have hardly downloaded anything from there. They are simply OVERRATED. If you feel I am talking too much crap, compare the torrents for yourself at all these sites I told above. By far, Torrentleech is the best for DVDR's, except that it is late by a day or two from other sites in the torrents

hope that in september i can find a nice soul who will hook me up with swedvdr invite :)

Offtopic:
No way, Swedvdr is the best for DVDR's... No wonder!

Ontopic:
I agree you that FTN is very overrated! Im not suprised that they (even most of users) are so hidely and claim about FTN is the best even, because to get other trackers or something without getting trouble.

Lol here is a fine example of how overrated tarckers are used to get very good trackers with huge buffers.

http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-bit...r-trade-197495

I bet you that there is no much buffer at all on that FTWR acc because he probably barely uses it too.

Something that amazes me too is how people will offer buffered level 7 accounts for 1 lvl 8 or buffered level 8 accounts for 1 level 9. All traders see is the rarity rating and don't even realize what they are offering. I bet that they really get shocked when they actually get in and realize how much they gave and just to find out it sure as hell was not worth it lol. Then they will try to get the tarckers they gave back.

Then again I doubt they buffered those accounts. They are either cheated or they got them from trading anyways.

I agree, give away your free level 8 and 9 trackers here <------------------

;)

Had along time reading the comments

well,to be honest i saw that a large portion of members seemed to ignore or not taken close look of the ratings as most of them talked about the rarity ranking and just forgot to mention that if they look well into the main thread post they would be able to see the other ranking we have which was implented to help members figure out the trackers that they would use instead of just getting trackers based on rarity ,as i always say and point out there is brackets besides each tracker [] where the number between brackets indicates the overall ranking of the tracker based on (content+speed+pre times)

There is also the trackers reviews which is avery helpful way to know more about almost all listed trackers in the thread and sothat u can makeup your decision whether you are going to need this tracker or not as most of the reviews contains inside screenshots from the tracker showing content,seeders,forums ,etc besides that alot of those reviews have some decenet members opinions about their experience in these trackers

but unfortunately a wide range just disregard those things (other ranking ,reviews) and just look at the rarity ranking only

Personally i don't recommend members to go after high trackers based on rarity because alot of them suck in my opinion and if u concentrate well ,u will see that alot of lvl2 and lvl 3 trackers have much better ranking [] than those in the top

I have been to hundreds of trackers but if i had to choose what trackers i can keep ,i would choose definetly the low level ones like TL and Revolutiontt besides Czone for 0-day stuff and other lower lvls because i can get whatever i want from these trackers and their pre-times are getting much faster besides that it won't hurt me to wait like 5 mins after the release is out on another tracker

so rarity thing isn't really everything because there is another ranking besides the reviews available ,everyone can choose what suits him and use it or just ignore the whole thread and do whatever he likes :)

edit

well, if rarity isn't the most important thing, why don't u just turn the WIAW thread into ranking sites by all, speed, content, pre and rarity, making the general levels based on rarity makes the people think that it's the most important thing, which it isn't

If the ranking would be based on: speed, content, pretimes, and rarity (with 2.5 points max for each)...

I think it would be for:

TL: speed(2), content(2.5), pretimes(2), rarity(.5) = lvl 7 (rounded off)

FTN: speed(2), content(2), pretimes(2.5), rarity(2) = lvl 9 (rounded off)

SCT: speed(2.5), content(2.5), pretimes(2), rairity(2) = lvl 9

good job fstrulz, it's actually quite good formula to use, and I agree with the rating

I think what some people are trying to say and I'm just trying to sum it all up is that we want level of rarity gone or less difined and simply integrate levels solely or pre times torrent etc. the way the wiaw thread is now it puts more importence on rarity than it does what number is in []
and for noobs and members alike what is in [] is less important than what it says under level 10 tracker.

Edit: good formula fstrulz! I like

Now why would FTN have the same rarity as SCT when FTN has a way lower user base and hardly anyone even tries to trade in public. Also why would you give FTN a speed of 2? I get the same speeds at FTN as I do at SCT so it doesn't make sense imo.

Relax it's just an example;)

I share your opinions, i really think the WIAW thread should be redone so that the main focus isnt rarity. I think the formula presented by fstrulz its pretty good and the admins should really consider redoing the thread using a formula like this :)

Ok?..... LOL

I too think that the WIAW thread should be changed into a Tracker Reviews thread with the rarity rating in the brackets [ ]. That will make the content more important and the rarity secondary. The levels should be based on content, rather than rarity.

I say we make it a level 1 as a psych experiment. See how many people want it when it's not "rare".

:yup:

does it really matter what level its at

the ratings list is really for noobs, to prevent them from making ridiculous requests
