yea i can understand why people saying all that stuff abouth FTN,since they hear from someone how great it is and it is ratio free with very fast pre (great speed as always) then everyone would say that at the moment.:)
SCT, SCC, GFT, RevTT, TL, Pretome, DigitalHive etc... have great speeds and good pretimes as well and the 'community' is a forum like any other tracker's forums and have absolutely nothing special compared with them.Quote:

oh and i see many members singing the praises of the no ratio system while 80% of them use to buffer their account as hell in order to reach userclasses lol..

i was talking abouth FTN only not to compare FTN with others..
yea it is true many people buffer accounts because they (can!) have abnormaly high connections speeds and i dont see any problems with that,but also there are people who dont have fast connection like me so it helps a lot to download sometimes something on ftn and then seed on 2 more sites
Yeah the community part is kinda personal, but it can be measured somehow with the numbersQuote:

House Season 1 you get it in TB, very well seeded, freeleech and as a plus youīll increase your ratio because there will always be some lost soul grabbing it.
I canīt agree about the community thing tho, but itīs something very personal, there are users who like to participate in forums, internal contests, to be in a familiar and friendly environment, make friends, etc, and at that... closed and small sites are unbeatable.
Here I'm saying, every one alleges that some tracker have a good community is a liar sorry (except Tbytes)
I have read lots about how fucking awesome community this or that tracker has and after joining it turned out to be just bullshit, with dozens of spammers can't post more than ONE LINE posts and I'm repeating ONE LINE posts
The only real community I seen was TB (more than 1.1 million posts) that is how I say it can be measured by numbers, they have no spam forums like count with image, and they know lots about you and your interests from the discussions on daily basis in almost every aspect of life
I also respect & like FSC community but it's small
Otherwise, if you really know a real community please tell me
Edit: and you are right about Jessica
All I have to say is that for those that talk about the great communities in these small trackers is that I would hope that they have as many posts at Skizo has here on those trackers. Otherwise ,they really are full of it.
I mean what's so great about those great forums and their communities if you don't get involved?
I personally think that most people care about content and speed. Then there are some that might care about security if they have ever got a letter from their ISP for example. And then there may be some that might care about the forums. Those people with a shit lot of posts on the forums.
I can't speak for Digitalhive, but yes, Pretome has great speeds and really good pre's. Plus it's no ratio.Quote:

My biggest problem with Digital Hive is that their forums are kind of stagnant. I know content should be the major concern, but I can't deal with a dead forum. Otherwise speeds are OK... not a ton of content though.
By the way, I heard FTN was working on some sort of software. Would anyone be able to elaborate on that for me? (If I'm not supposed to mention this it will be removed.)

Ok, so we killed the mirc script that allowed you to download torrents because of sites abusing the output.. So I started to develop a program that initiates a secure connection to FTN and downloads torrents based on a similar concept without the need for irc (this way it'll work on linux and mac systems as well).
Gotta agree on pretome, they are really good.
n00bz0r, thanks for answering my question so quickly. An FTN user told me it was a whole new torrent client, so that's why I asked. :lol:
