yes they can but you have to be a FTN power whitch means you have to upload 200GB and have ratio above 1.xx to be FTN power and to have good posts at their forums and then ask them that they you give invitation and pray it go get one and invitate ur friend :)
They are all true :D
Yes
Yes
thank you for your quick answer :)Quote:

There are no ratios anymore :happy:Quote:

You see ppl with over 200 gb getting turned down for invites cause they are trying to do the bare minimum. I think there are lot more ftn invites around than you think. Its just the people who have them dont give them out cause they know what they are worth and they also dont want to invite a bad person and wreck there inviting privalges.
There isn't a ratio system anymore, so the requirements to obtain an invite are a little steeper. If your torrent history is green across the board, and you're active in the forums and on IRC, getting an invite cannot be that hard.
you are completely right> :DQuote:

Is there a big difference between having a ratio and having a green torrent history.
Yes, you can seed for 36 hours and have had no leechers and/or no upload the entire time of that, yet you have fulfilled the seeding requirements for that torrent to give you the green light, which on unpopular torrents when you have been away for a week or 2 is just perfect.Quote:

Good ratio proves you seeded back the same amount that you have taken and probably even more then was required, but the flaw here is that it can be achieved by jumping on a popular torrent with a seedbox or of course cheating and then begin just leeching stuff because of your buffer.
Ihmo this don't show the spirit of sharing as much as having a green torrent history which shows the user is really making an effort in the long run to share to the best of his ability and even if the members ratio doesn't have a huge buffer he/she is still a vital part of the site and most likely has been of help to members who jump on a torrent late.
:w00t: - i usually seed my torrents 24/7 for at least a month. this requirement is easy to keep indeed.Quote:

thank you for sharing these insights.
Do you guys have a green history or something?
I never see any color on my torrent history, just a plain gray..

Is this green history think useful if u seed every torrent to 1:1
I hope this rule only applies when u can't seed 1:1 :)
True.Quote:

I have 1mbit upload connection and i seed 24/7, my FTN torrent history has some red points, i have seeded those torrents for weeks and months though.
I dont see it either ... just the red/green numbers in the ratio column ... most of mine are red :( but most of the stuff has been seeded for a week or more ... i just checked ... hmmmzQuote:

If you have no pink line through any of your torrents, they you are all green, the pink line looks like a highlight pen has been used horizontally through any torrent that has not been seeded to the requirements.
I don't get one thing though. There's this 36hr seeding rule. Can anyone explain it to me? Do you have to seed 36hrs straight after leeching something or you can seed, let's say, every day 6 hours for 6 days?
let's say, every day 6 hours for 6 daysQuote:

Of course, if you give totally nothing in GB back, and only seed the 36 hours on every torrent, then you will never achieve a promotion in class, and therefore lose out on the benefits associated with getting promoted, so the incentive to seed by GB & time is both there.
nice tip I was wondering about that all my torrents there have been seeding for a couple of weeks (except the new ones) so I hadn't seen it.Quote:
