Hi,
I just wonder if FTN is that good?
Do you know if I have any chance to get an invite there?
I'm curious to have your opinion on this subject :happy:

ScT!!1 Pre times, speeds, community. All what bt tracker can wish.
I have an account on both - they are basically the same when it comes to pretime, speed (seedboxes) and such. But I have to say ScT takes the cake due to their larger amount of selection. FTN doesn't upload everything, ScT on the other hand uploads nearly everything. So that is my answer... ScT > FTN.
And btw, FTN as of recently has become a little more friendly with handing out invites (no I don't have any so don't ask). Here is a couple news posts from them:

Wow, you guys have definitely stepped up and shown your support after that last news post.
I just want to thank those of you who have supported us in the past, as well as those of you who have done so this month.
We're on a good roll so far, keep the support coming. If we can keep this up this month, and from now on.. There will be some new portions of the site opening up that I know will be popular. Not only that, but every other part of this site can be improved including retention, pretimes, speed..
As always, thank you seeders and everyone who supports this site in some way or another. It's time we kick this place up a notch and use our resources to their full potential. You guys are our #1 priority, and we really want to prove that to you. Lets bring this community back together, and take this site to new levels. We have the best users in the torrent community here as well as the best staff I could ever ask for. I don't want to see all of this hard work and potential fade away.
So, to add a bit of fuel to our beautiful flame I introduce our first invite competition. You can check it out here.
Thanks again community.

Due to the very small amount of donors so far this month, all who have contributed this month so far will receive an invite shortly if your account isn't invite locked.
Thank you guys for your support.
A competition will start soon which will enable the rest of you to have the opportunity to win an invite.
The drawings/raffle will start next weekend.
The two new portions of this site will remain closed until we have proper funding. But if things continue at this route, we'll have to begin removing portions of this site including the current content boost just to keep the site up.

However, on ScT you need a very good connection to keep a good ratio. Is it the same for FTN?
There are no ratios on FTNQuote:

Do you do something special or you only let your computer always on seeding what you have just downloaded?Quote:

If people on ScT downloads free packs they will be fine, however they will never appreciate the tracker at their best.
cheers
I normally use a seedbox to enjoy all release from ScT.
FTN might have no ratio, but that doesn't necessarily make it a better tracker. You are still expected to seed a certain amount/time and if not you will be banned - quickly. It doesn't mean you can leech all you want and kill torrents after they have finished. I was trying to think of some other reasons why FTN might be better, which I thought about the IRC chat/pre channels. Then I remembered that ScT has those too. So yeah, still ScT>FTN. The ONLY thing that I could find that made FTN better, is less freeloading leechers (yes believe it or not, even without a ratio stat, more people seed than they do leech on there) and the design/interface of the site is cooler.
spy vs spy ????
FTN can't raise enough donations?! ScT doesn't seem to have that problem.
They probably don't have enough member ;)Quote:

ScT doesn't have that problem since they have over 3x the users that FTN has, and also offer GBs of uploads and invites for donating.Quote:

Look daddy, it's a SCT vs FTN topic. It must be only the fifth or sixth this year.
Maybe it'll be five pages of useless comparison of two totally different trackers again with a little flaming on top.
i'm so exited because I just love the FST same topic rotation.
P.S. Is BCG gone? I can't find the homepage anymore.
SCT is better with speed, FTN is better cause it has no ratio, BUT TL is better than both (more files, more leechers/seeders, much easier to keep good ratio...), so get your conclusion.
What do you mean by totally different?Quote:

ScT i really dont know cause i dont have an account there...=P
Don't have FTN account, so can't speak for them but ScT have 22591 files atm. TL have 15582 right now ;)Quote:

However, TL is more prone to close since it have a large number of user.Quote:

my vote goes for sct because its perfect :P
yeap, sct is good, but it hard to keep good ratio ( if you have upload less than 512kbps ), also sct has longer lifetime of torrents and more of them ~ 22k, good pre and speeds :) FTN has smaller community, also good pre (sometimes better, sometimes worse pre than sct), less peers and that make the torrents live shorter :P FTN have better staff than SCT cuz they dont ban whole countries when they cant do something with 'cheeterz' and the last thing is that FTN has no ratio and minimum seed time :) but i seed on it 48h + :)
too OP use the fucking search button
and cannot compare the number of members 150k and ~15k or ~20k...Quote:

Wow well that's real nice of you, Thanks for being such a kind helpful member here. Ease up a bit, consider this a warning.Quote:

I see nothing really wrong with the thread.
As time goes on, tracker policy, staff, speeds, etc. all change. Referring to an older thread that has been closed due to flaming or silly useless posts (akin to Di@monds' post) sometimes does not suffice.
A healthy discussion about which tracker is better, minus limp unsupported fanboi statements and the equally lackluster 'ripostes' from other fanbois, is just what this forum needs, especially since the water from the BCG-HelpMePlz tsunami is finally receding.
Then stop hit'n'running for a second. You might have 64kbps but you can do just fine @ ScT, it's not like it's FTN, where someone might leech from you once in every decade.Quote:

ScT ftw!!
