is FTN really hard to get into? i've never talked with anyone who has an account there. that makes me more interested in getting in..
so i'm just wondering. is FTN worth scouring the net (not FST) for someone with an invite?

i dont think it is ... aim for ScT instead ... it IS worth it..
i have an ScT account, didn't know it was better.. thanks for the info Raban.
Although I can appreciate your curiosity there is nothing greatly different in content from any other Oday tracker(and having TL and ScT you've got that area more than covered)).
I suggest instead of collecting sites(which you have shown evidence of doing)you should look at where your interests lie and try to become a member at places that best satisfy your needs regardless of their level.
@Raban I never would have guessed you would say that ScT is the best.:rolleyes:
If you are aiming for ScT, keep in mind that it is difficult to survive there without a very fast connection. You may even need a seedbox.
I also think the site is not worth chasing an invite for. Once you finally do hunt someone down that is willing to invite you(and this may take a very long time), you may find yourself very disappointed in the site.
ScT I don't know about since I'm not a member, but I find other 0day sites like IPT and TL(which these sites have more content and more activity) I use way more than FTN.
FTN is a good tracker but don't expect to find unicorns and golden eggs there. FTN is hard to get into because of their invite system which is now "pay4invite". If you don't have a scene tracker its worth getting into, other then that don't waste your time on another scene tracker if that's your case.
ScT is hard to seed, but not to buffer. Just hit the packs (freeleech) and then seedseedseed. Once you've built a buffer then just dl what you need and seed the minimum 72 hours if you cant hit a 1:1 ratio. If your buffer gets used up then dl more packs, rebuild it and you'll be fine.
FTN is a good site considering the noratio, but it will only ever have the edge on ScT if your connection is poor and so keeping a ratio on sct is too hard for you, thats where the no ratio at FTN comes in handy.
Stop spreading false information, please. ScT is probably the easiest tracker to seed at. I easily seed back most of the files to at least 1:1, even though I usually leech the files 1-2 days after their release and even though I only have 1mbit upstream. All alone on 3 packs I've uploaded back 3x50gigs, that's on my 1mbit upspeed. If you have any problems you are a hit'n'runner and noone wants to have you in their tracker.
First of all, he said he got sct account so i think he knows how the things work in there.
FTN is just another 0day tracker without ratio but u have to seed till you bleed.
Well imo there is no *best* tracker, u will need more than 1 to satisfy your needs.
scc/sct = freeleech/great packs and fast pre, hdbits = HD content and FTN/Tl = everything else scc/sct missed.
I heard alot about this tracker.
There is no minimum seed time on FTN, but most users respect this and seed as long as they can - you certainly don't have to seed till you bleed.
SCT is often faster on older torrents but those are the torrents that can be a pain to seed back to 1:1, which is something you don't have to worry about on FTN. On newer torrents you will get good speeds from both sites.
At the end of the day they are both great trackers.
yes, they are.. but i usually seed them for about a week and if it doesn't seed atleast a few mb's, delete it.Quote:

what's that I hear about FTN invites being paid now? is it anything like ScT where you can pay €20 for an invite?
FTN must eat.Nobody in this perfect world does things for free.You hope you understand me.Thinks like you must pay for each movie 10$.I for example i help my favorite site and my firs tracker coz i consider that there i find some unic files.Go go og og og og og IDVD.:D
aND MY FRIEND this IS NOT the first acc HERE:whistling
ScT lets you purchase invites, FTN does not. A major difference.
SCT NEVER ASK FOR MONEY, if you want to download is FREE.
My statement was based on my experience. I mostly download those TV shows and movies from ScT which are not very popular and have at most about 15-20 snatches in a month. So, it is difficult for me to keep ratio there. And as my ISP limits amount of data download, I cannot download packs at home. I usually seed everything for at least a month, but am barely able to get a ratio of 1.
I only was making reference to Raban's often cited love of Sct and not commenting on it's relative merits.
I previously stated imo there is very little difference between any of the better known scene trackers except for a few bell and whistles and if you are looking purely at new releases there is almost no difference in content or meaningful speed at all.
But as evidenced by the previous posts ,everyone has their own viewpoint so all I can say is don't 100% believe anyone and simply do whatever you feel best.
ftn is not pay4invite, some donators will get invites, but it is not guarranteed that if you donate you will get an invite, I donated and did not get an invite. Anyways, it took me about 2 years to join FTN and actually getting in after that long makes me appreciate the site a lot.
It's a matter of taste. I prefer FTN and stopped using SCT because I realized that SCT doesn't need me much. They have many servers, a lot of cash, many old users with lots of seedboxes. FTN has much of this too, but I think they are smaller and still growing, so I may have a role to play there. I can be a better part of the community. Plus I feel much safer to be at FTN with the smaller userbase and lower donations a month meaning the site is less of a target for the authorities.
Lets clarify something.I have never donated before and if I donate now,will I get invite?
At FTN? No, it is not guaranteed you will get an invite. If you're a member there then read the home page, it explains the invite system.
Wow, mis information runs free in this thread.
Keep this in mind when thinking about *any* tracker your interested in:
NO tracker is worth pining over, or hunting for. Your time is worth more then any tracker. If you really need into any of the harder to get sites, you will get there without seeking, just by being active at the sites you have, and showing interest in those specific areas.

This would mean everyone donating now should get an invite! So, how much do you have to donate to get an invite? :p
