F*N Users can you answer me a simple question?
I've seen so many people ask for FtN invites and to be totally honest it makes me laugh/ cry to see how some people "dream of FtN", I feel like saying get a life!
So my question is to all the FtN users, when you have finally got into the site was it all that you expected? And if possible can you explain your answer?
-
Re: F*N Users can you answer me a simple question?
I'm not a member,but I think these people want to join,because this tracker is Non-ratio site and don't need to hire a seedbox or get a higher netspeed to keep ratio or don't get banned ;)
-
Re: F*N Users can you answer me a simple question?
It is a tracker with a very nice design, decent pre-times, fast speeds, no ratio and mostly experienced BT users that have been around the community for a long time. It is is small and safe unlike huge sites like TL and IPT.
-
Re: F*N Users can you answer me a simple question?
i m o , they are ratio free which rox for users like me who have total eeew internet speed .. + they are good in pretimes so maybe cross seeding will only do good .. and also i think that they have a very trusted community .. but in the end .. i honestly donnno much bout FTN coz i m not in it .. so no worries ..
-
Re: F*N Users can you answer me a simple question?
I don't think people are understanding me, I meant after you got in, was it worth it? Is it all you thought it was going to be?
Tbh only leeches want something that has no ratio, and experienced BT users shouldn't care about ratio since the whole idea of BT is you give as good as you get.
SO back on topic: I would like users who are members to answer to get their views. I understand if you don't want to though, seeing as you might get into trouble for talking about it.

Re: F*N Users can you answer me a simple question?
We know everything about the site from outside ;) :D
-
Re: F*N Users can you answer me a simple question?
OP you're gonna have to wait a while before you get an anser from an actual member. Right now you're just listening to hype.
Don't worry there are some around and they'll probably post here.
-
Re: F*N Users can you answer me a simple question?
They will post here something immediately if they will see this thread :D
-
Re: F*N Users can you answer me a simple question?
lol only post if you actually have it.

yeah, it's a bullshit calling it a dream, and i think FtN never intended it to be that way in the first place.
the big question is the money saver it is for people with shit ISPs. Once they become members of a place like FtN, they no longer will have to spend money on seedboxes to buffer the account, and thus the seeding unofficial time is pretty low, making it a target for people from certain countries often banned at many trackers.
It's a fact i see some of those users sometimes in the middle of the swarm, but the fact is they aren't so many or so usual.
then comes the packs/community/etc excuse to make it a nice request.
FtN is damn good tracker, a 0-day one with the same contents you find at other 0-day trackers, but it has the added bonus of technically being constant freeleech.
hence why you see so many people "dreaming" of it. :wacko:

Re: F*N Users can you answer me a simple question?
It's a too BT Addict who's dreaming about a tracker to get in,and it's his mania.
-
Re: F*N Users can you answer me a simple question?
No disrespect to Brandon or the site, but its just the same as any other tracker, albeit alot smaller which was what Brandon wanted to do with the site anyway. Things maybe changing though judging by the latest news posts so Good Luck to Brandon on his new venture.
Been on ftn just over 3 years, and I would say it still beats sct by a mile. The reason being, Brandon isnt in this to make any money unlike sct.
-
Re: F*N Users can you answer me a simple question?
If the FTN Owner would to sell the site!,there will be someone who will buy it for ~ $2000 :lol: That tracker is really costly,but I don't think the Staff would like to sell the site for higher offer too..

Thank you for your answer, its exactly what I wanted. So the site owner is leaving? Is your site still going to be up I presume?
MATEE100: he just said the site owner is not in it for the money!

Re: F*N Users can you answer me a simple question?
I'm a member of FtN, and whilst I think it's a very nice site, I'm not sure I understand why it is so highly rated. Dreaming of FtN is just ridiculous. Really, those people saying that should get a life.

Re: F*N Users can you answer me a simple question?
Most want i just because its rare :S

Yeah, I bet if people didn't see that ridiculous post with the different tracker levels they wouldn't care about half these sites. I reckon if I made a 5K user tracker and closed invites and got 1 good uploader who has axx I could get to level 10 and people will be blindly knocking the door down to try get in... Its funny how people are so easily influenced :P

Re: F*N Users can you answer me a simple question?
Yea! We've got a real member of FTN! Welcome Unstable1! :P
-
Re: F*N Users can you answer me a simple question?
@unknownman - Brandon just wants to develop the site further, also its nothing to do with me lol, Im just a normal member.
Brandon has never ever been in it for the money, everything he does is to keep all his members happy.

Back in 2007 when I was new to torrents and heard about a tracker called FTN, which had the fastest pre-times.
I started to look for an invite and it took me a couple of weeks to get one.
When I finally got in, everything I expected to be there was there. :smartass:
Wasn't much torrent activity when they still had the ratio system but that didn't bother me. :smilie4:
-
Re: F*N Users can you answer me a simple question?
Whoa! Forget this money thing.I just said it,because there are some people,who can give their heart for an FTN invite!

that's really good to hear, you don't see that everyday on normal trackers. Do you happen to know what kind of developments?

I'm not too involved at FTN, but what has changed is that they removed the ratio and the activity on torrents has increased, oh and pre-times are perhaps a little bit slower. :unsure:

That's a trick question, simply because the site is whatever you make it out to be in your mind.
Of course if you've been aching to get into it due to it's "shut gates", and "hidden" status, once you get in you're not going to be anything less than satisfied.
I remember when I got in I thought it was all the rage. Browsed the whole DVDR collection to see if there were things I didn't have, and I did find some packs and stuff with more eclectic flicks, but in the end I wasn't able to get many because they would drop to 0 seeders often.
FTN is good because of it's no ratio policy, and the site-skin is attractive. However the forums are relatively dead, and there really isn't much to it other than that. I'm not bashing FTN, I'm just saying if you're expecting it to be this awesome other-worldly thing; it'll only be that while you concieve it as such.
It isn't really anything more than a tracker like all the others. In fact, for content and speed, as well as ease of seeding, TL is infinitely better. Ah, it's also easier to leech off of TL; in FTN you have to click on every torrent you want, be redirected to the page where it's upped, and only then can you dl. It's a tad anal if you ask meh.
Don't break your back for it unknownman.

Sorry I didn't mean to look like I wanted to get in (I don't), in fact I wanted to show the others here that are "dying" to get in, that at the end of the day, its not all its hyped up to be.
As for the trick question, I asked for personal views hence I used the phrasing "Is it all you thought it was going to be?" so I'm only looking for your feelings i.e. disappointment/ amazement.
If you get what I mean...

Re: F*N Users can you answer me a simple question?
Dream of a tracker?... thatīs just ridiculous, I dream of Jessica Alba, thatīs a more than justifies dream, right?.
About FTN... a very good 0-day tracker, no stress due to ratios, slow connections, etc. But it used to be better before becoming P2i.

I have no idea if they do that or not.

Re: F*N Users can you answer me a simple question?
I've heard from several sources that they do, but I am not a member...
-
Re: F*N Users can you answer me a simple question?
I thought they only gave invites to select members and even then they only do it rarely... or so I've heard.
-
Re: F*N Users can you answer me a simple question?
Lol I am member there so my first post post isn't hype. It is like any other site except that it has those perks which I posted before. If you are on a site like GFT then it is very comparable to that. FTN is something that is very special because really only GFT is anywhere close to what FTN has to offer in terms of pre time and no ratio. FTN is exactly what I expected and lets just put it this way I use it for most if not all of my general 0day downloads.
You will find sites like SCC and SCT which have faster speeds and pre times but you have to fight for your life to keep a good ratio on the sites by downloading packs which is just not needed for FTN
-
Re: F*N Users can you answer me a simple question?
Not a member there, but there's a simple explanation as to why everyone wants to get in: they want to be part of an exclusive club and show off their e-penis.
Every time someone gives packs or community as a reason they're just saying bullshit. It's the same way with every single tracker that has some degree of difficulty to get into.
The dream thing is laughable, considering it's a goddamn torrent tracker.

This is probably the post that makes the most sence. I have to agree with this.
