^^^^^^^^^^
thanks for that answer teflon
All ratio-free trackers and those offering bonus points for seeding have that issue to some degree, unfortunately.Quote:

i absolutely love btn, but i wont be letting my bitmetv account die anytime soon. it's an absolute gem for hard-to-find non-scene content
Judging by the forums the forums I'm guessing quite a few.Quote:

Recently downloaded something about a year old from post date, said it had 2 seeders and 2 leechers, I got ~1gb from one peer (partial leecher most likely), and 5+GB (the rest) from one single seeder... Never even saw the other leecher or seeder connect :\
Has BTN gotten better about the seeder count on older packs of series? I don't really mind if something comes in slow, as long as there are enough seeders that if a few drop off, I can still complete the download.
I'm looking through old shit right now and mostly everything is well seeded(some have just five or six though, most quite a lot). You were probably a member quite a long time ago, the site is much better now.
If you're interested I would put in a request now as I think everyone's invites will disappear in the next couple days.
Yea, I would, but I don't think it would look good since I already had it at one point. Don't want it taken the wrong way...
You probably can get your account re-enabled on irc.Quote:

in fact I do :)
Will give that a shot, thanks!
Yeah I totally forgot about that. My account went disabled at one point, but I hopped on irc and staff were very nice and very prompt in re-enabling it.
If your account is gone then just pm me and I'll see what I can do for you.

I think highly of TvT as well, but apparently BTN has more torrents.Quote:

Invites Are Now Closed
All invites are now closed for userclasses under Master. You may still have invites, but you will be unable to send them.
We hope you took advantage of the opportunity to invite your friends before this September 1st deadline.
DO NOT ask/beg/harass any Master+ to invite your bestest buddy in the whole wide world. They have earnt the right to send invites in one way or another and shouldn't be put in the position of being responsible for someone they don't know.
Consider this your first and only warning.
If there is someone you know that would desperatley love a BTN account, direct them to the various recruitment threads on other trackers or our IRC invite channel if and when it opens.
There may be opportunities for regular users to send invites in the future, so just be patient.
Now let's leave the drama behind us and get back to the reason we're all here - to watch and share mind-numbing television!
//BTN Staff
Content,Speeds,Staff.....???
I struggled out there to keep a decent ratio,and later lost interest,as BTN seemed PERFECT for me.
bitmetv sucks...even freshon.tv is much better
Definitely yes. Too many times, the latest release isnt on BitMeTV for almost an hour after being pre'd. BTN isn't the top dog for pretimes but it is relatively a lot more reliable.
I would agree. BTN is the first place i go for pretty much anything tv. They have a much better method of organization and many file options for each episode. usually even many encodes for packs. Bitmetv just is lacking, mostly internal releases and not near the content for my needs.
bitmetv also have a funny bot
This torrent is possibly a (season) pack!
The automated dupe-checker is suspecting this torrent to be a (season)pack of: =)))))))))
With BitMeTV I've never had any problems, with uploading It's not the fastest upload I have but I usually seed 24/7...and want I lose In the roundabouts I gain In the swings.
As for pre's, I'm quoting theman5 here.
To be honest that's one fucked up attitude to have for a tracker, what's the problem with waiting, It will be uploaded eventually...who Is the winner at the end of the day, The Tortoise or the Hare :wacko:Quote:

Not that I disagree with your point, but sometimes the tortoise losesQuote:

That was a good episode. I don't think I'm forgetting the "my leg, my leg!" part... :fear:
Some people care about pretimes because they think the site is 1337. Other people like pretimes because they want something as fast as they can, especially for TV Shows that they want to watch.Quote:
