I wouldn't call it "struggle"...It was a sheer excitement, joy...Like going after big game. But since I have everything I ever wanted I try to help people the best way I can.

I wouldn't call it "struggle"...It was a sheer excitement, joy...Like going after big game. But since I have everything I ever wanted I try to help people the best way I can.
ok there r 3 parts to my story.:http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/../.....es/biggrin.gif
i was using limewire.. had once heard my friend in college mention sumthing about torrent and u have to downlaod some small file and use an other client for the .torrent file to work and all..i didnt pay much attention... i was happy downlaoding a few episode of family guy from limewire.. but it was soo hard to downlaod bigger files ..and i was in search of "the office episode(us) 1,2,3"...i am generally an ignorant guy...and some how it occured to me about what my friend had mentioned about .torrent and all..soo i searched google ...after 3 more google searches i was staring at "the pirate bay" home page this was 4 months before or even less...and then downlaoded my first "the office episode 3" torrent...it was like a 4.6 gb file..(it took me almost a week and half to downalod the whole thing).. and then...wanted to get into demonoid in less then 2 days because of low speeds(1kb some times) in pirate bay..i asked every one for an invite but not with much sucess and called up this friend of mine who had mentioned about the .torrent file...and asked him if he had an invite to demonoid luckyly he had and i was IN one of the good (semi)private bt sites...then had been to my spleen forums..begged for a invite a couple of times..they were asking for ratios...waited for a week to build up ratio in demonoid..and also was in iptorrent which was new back then...i could maintaing good ratio in demonoid and iptorrent mostly because in demonoid they would let me upload..and in ip torrent they have these bonus points which u can exchange for uplaod credit
got in to my spleen after i shoWED them my 7gb up and 4 gb down in demonoid and 10 gb up and 3 gb down in ip torrents [all this in 1 week]....but had hard time maintaining ratios in my spleen(i still visit the site.. once in a while.. i dont uplaod or downlaod anything..)...because they wouldnt let me uplaod unless i had good speed or they had no bonus points...i have pretty crappy speed downlaod speed of 20kb,and uplaod speed of 8kb[256kbps]...well no one would even consider me near bigger torrents because i had crappy speeds and everyone[most of the guys i spoke to ] tot i will not make it to anything bigger then demonoid or iptorrents...and then some one form no where mailed me saying he could give me oink and if i gave him myspleen....it was 3-4th week of me starting out in btsites....i said yes.. i tot if i try hard maint a good ratio somehow in myspleen [which never happened] or upgrade my connection i could some how get an invite to myspleen and send him one...that guy sent me an oink invite..i am still very greatfull for him....well oink died about 1and hlf month after i joined in..i liked the site.....and then came the huge U TURN
...i got lucky was one of the first few guys who got what.cd and waffles.fm.....every one wanted waffles..i was in.and belive me i got 4 bitmetv invites +1 pt invite for 3waffles invites....hehe some crazy time..i belive god always has a place for every one...some one like me with a speed liek mine would have been no where if it wasnt for gods grace...not jsut in torrent ...i mean in whole of my life.. god has really been gracious on me i never realised it untill 2years before...
i am right now in with good ratios in: nordic-t,demonoid(rip),oink(rip),super torrents,waffles,what,pt,tt,bitmetv,blackcats..a lot more i dont even rememebr of......(of course not everything came easy...i had to do a lot of begging and convince a lot of people along the way...also met a lot of scammers posers usless people........but i have made a few really good friends who i could count on.... )
had a shared account in sct for a while..i wouldnt wanna personally have a sct account..because i dont have the speed for it and i think they r more about making money...
would love to get in to ftn godwilling
well my point is....not just regarding torrent or anything ...In life as a whole its not always the strongest and the fastest who make it big.....even some one as insignificant as me can make it big and of course staying there is up to me..atleast now i know how it feels to be on the top.....i am glad god me an oppurtunity...and i will definatly use it to the best of my abilty...

Apart from the truly appalling lack of punctuation in your manifesto, where exactly do god and being a member of bit torrent trackers actually coincide ? Thats really pathetic.

hm i dont know anybody in rl who is torrenting and bc i am paranoid i dont want to know.. if a theme like this comes up i tend to say something like seeding is for loosers or sth xD although there are some private trackers i am a member of..
so it took some time i got the german trackers i wanted (+oink).. after a year i began to look how some english trackers are, but i think its enough now :P
perhaps i will sign up to the one or another forum i dunno, but i promised artemis not to ask for one of them, so thats off the list :D
well u can call it coincidence...or lucky ....i call it grace of god.. like i said its not jsut here ... i have been blessed by god too many times in real life...i have had my share of good luck and bad luck.. but i have never been let down when i need sumthing the most....i dont consider myself smart... u wouldnt wanna know my story.....i belive there is god and for anythign to happen u should have deserved it in this life or the previous... i dont think u can find some one who had nuthing 4 months ago and now i am only looking for ftn...i never had fancy speed to show off[ guess what my downlaod speed is still 20 kb and uplaod of 7 kb].. no friends in bt community....didnt even know about ratios back then..i have done the best i could and i deserved the things i got...with a speed like mine and a tracker like tt level8,,,,lets say with all ur smartass words u cant do what i did in 4 months with the same situation i was in...(no offence)Quote:

Oh dear big word here, thats blasphemy, its a torrent website not a cure for cancer:angry:

Then one day i found a torrent on mininova, which lead to revott, so i quickly signed up, and later found out that i joined on one of the last days before sign ups were permanently closed. From there iw as happy, until i one day found funfile, and ended up spending sometime there, and meant a few ppl who invited me to places like oink and tl and bitmetv and told me about scc and st. From there i met a nice guy, who put me in touch with a friend of his and he invited me to places like hdbits and ct. I ended up joining a few more places thanks to oink, Then some nice guy invited me to diwana, and now all i seek is a decent e-learning tracker like bitme. I joined a few other sites between that, but that was more due to a mix of waiting for them to open doors, and asking friends, so that wasn't really much a great journey :P
Well it was a fun ride, but i wished i found this place sooner, instead of struggling to join my first private tracker :(
I traded my way up back when trading was awesome. Now, its apparently the "wrong thing to do". I don't know what the hall has happened over the last couple years but people don't like trading anymore. Which I think is retarded...
I had FTN, FTWR, Bitmetv, oink, etc. all the big names within a couple weeks of me signing up. I gave up on torrenting as it was consuming my life and I gave them all away within a couple hours.
Now I'm trying to get back into it but now that people don't like to trade it's going to be a lot harder. Now, if you want a good tracker, there's like 1 or 2 people who have it and about 15-20 people who want it. How do you get the invite when the demand is extremely high with very low supply? I used my trading to leverage my supply and I got what I wanted quickly.
I don't really have a struggle, since I've just gotten into the private tracker scene. I'm a complete noob whose always used public trackers, and since I don't have anything to trade it's going to be VERY hard for me to get an invite to anywhere decent...meaning it'll be a long way to get into the really good trackers.
I look forward to it. XP
It has been always retarded... if you want to give an invite to a site then offer it, dont ask for something in change, and if you want to get on some site then ask for it, if you dont get it then ask again, maybe one day you will get it...Quote:

They have no interest/probably don't even know what torrents are, and even less interested in computers.I'm usually always playing golf, basketball, wakeboarding, or snowboarding with them, and they seem content being outdoors all the time.
I also got my ScT invite from here at FST for free. (Wont state the name to save his PM box from overflowing)
I have met some members here at FST who I can relate with, and have also been fortunate enough to get into some pretty good high-level trackers. Waffles and whatcd are great as far as my music needs go.
I'm still on the quest for FTN and FSC. I dont have any interest for U*T or FTWR at the moment, however that could change.
Oh, btw, Jack Daniels is great, but I prefer Captain Morgan or Crown. They all do the trick anyhow.
you are one fucking annoying spammerQuote:

one day my ISP raised big time their international download limits, so some friends of mine that were into the newsgroups scene got me an invite to TL.
Damn, i was in shock! what an amazing site. Then one week later i was invited to RevTT. Amazing site too !
then i told some of my geeky friends to take a look at those sites and they begged me for invites, so i invited them as soon as i had invites. All of them are power users until this day.
my biggest struggle ever to get to a site is FTN, as most normal users must have. I even borrowed my seedbox back in the days to a friend of mine so he could get an invite for me, but he dished on me and i never laid my hands on it. So i suppose this was my biggest struggle, though i must admit i don't do much to look for it, and i despise those who say "i REALLY need it" to any tracker.
and hey, what's the fun if you no longer have a goal to reach? i pretty much reached mine, but curiosity is a big part of the human nature. And we're all humans, after all...
