Has BTN officially overtaken BitMeTV?
Torrents -
BitMeTV - 30,782
BTN - 42,621
BTN is a ratio free Gazelle based TV tracker where users aren't afraid to download ANYTHING(obviously).
Low bandwidth users can now happily download and seed whatever they want which is upholding the true spirit of filesharing imo. This is a triumph in torrenting as it disproves the theory that a ratio-free system can't work.
DonateMeTV is arguably the hardest site to seed at and anyone with half a brain knows they're never gonna make things easy because we all know what they're REALLY after,don't we? :shifty:
To quote tequilavip(mod of bitmetv) - Life's not fair, some people have shitloads of money, some people don't, some people have a Ferrari and some people have a 1991 hyundai with no hubcaps and a coat-hanger for an antenna, and finally some people have 100mbit, some have 512kbit. |
Time to eat humblepie aye,tequilavip? ;)
Thoughts?

Re: Has BTN officially overtaken BitMeTV?
I think a lot of people like BitMeTV's community better though...even with the mods taking taking their volunteer job a little too seriously now and then :-P
-
Re: Has BTN officially overtaken BitMeTV?
I'd say yes. I actually found it very surprising how well BTN took off despite management issues over the years and various other factors, but I'm glad they've succeeded. They've come a long way since I joined up during the "beta".

Re: Has BTN officially overtaken BitMeTV?
Yes, I mentioned it in the review section recently. To me, BTN is the best bittorrent tv site these days. I would not recommend bitmetv over btn to a new user even if he has a seedbox. No point in wasting time with that when you get better content, roughly the same speed and all you have to do is seed, no matter how much you upload.
Regarding staff maturity, I would appreciate if BTN stopped trying to put IP catching pixels here.

I don't think they eat rats for the breakfast as the What stuff probably does.
BTN obviously has done things magnificently and putting forth the spirit of sharing has rewarded 'em. Up until now the only demerit with BTN is that being Ratio-less some fuck(x)2 shits limit their upload speeds to the point from where it becomes impossible to leech the stuff, as I started using the tracker recently, I had to face it.
BitmeTV is obviously a place run by the money hungry whores and making it difficult to seed was the only trick the narrow minded mongs could think of, I feel happy for it as they have learned their lesson just like Rapidshare.

Re: Has BTN officially overtaken BitMeTV?
never been a member of BTN so cannot compere the two.
i have never used a seed box on BitMeTV but still maintained a healthy ratio on there so i suppose it all boils down to what tv programmes you are into.
-
Re: Has BTN officially overtaken BitMeTV?
Though i joined BTN late,for me its my source for all the TV series.Lots of features and the best part being Ratio Free.

Re: Has BTN officially overtaken BitMeTV?
clearly BTN is future :happy:

And how about FTN? :lol:
I've heard, it's ratio free as well.:O

Re: Has BTN officially overtaken BitMeTV?
BMTV isn't on the same level has BTN, BTN is one of the most feature-rich trackers and ratio free too.
-
Re: Has BTN officially overtaken BitMeTV?
Damn, you guys make BTN sound great.
I have a healthy ratio at BMTV, but the only time I download from there is if I absolutely cannot find what I'm looking for elsewhere.
Do they hold interviews in IRC to recruit new members, or is it strictly invite only?

I found mention of a #BTN-Invites channel, although I do not know if that offer is still in place right now.
They recently gave everyone two invites so that people can invite their friends before they restrict the flow of new users. I think IRC was going to be one of the few ways of getting in afterwards.

Cool, thanks.
I just started reading this thread, I guess I have a few days to find an invite, if not, I will apply at the IRC when it's available.
I made a templatep2p request today, so I will wait before making another request.

ughh.. exactly this ^

Re: Has BTN officially overtaken BitMeTV?
I think it has, quite a while ago too.
It's not the silly features and the super cool look of the site that puts it ahead, it's very good speeds, great retention, unrared content, the amount of the content and especially how easy it is to keep a ratio there (since there is none) that does.
I don't think I really need any 0day trackers now... Except the big ones, for that hard to find stuff.

What does "elite" mean here, and who the fuck should care about that when the numbers clearly show BTN is everything but crap?
Don't tell me you're getting a slice of their donations or something. :ermm:

Re: Has BTN officially overtaken BitMeTV?
Everybody shut up and go to TorrentDay... NOW! It's an elite torrent site!
-
Re: Has BTN officially overtaken BitMeTV?
How elite exactly? What level is it?
-
Re: Has BTN officially overtaken BitMeTV?
If anyone interested, TVTorrentz.org has opened sign ups, it has around 14000 torrents.
With their adopting system, retention is very good there.

Words and numbers aren't enough to describe it. You'll have to experience it yourself.
Wake up. The TorrentDay has you... :O

Re: Has BTN officially overtaken BitMeTV?
demonoid is by far the most 1337! to mention any other tracker makes you a plight on the Bittorrent community
pay-Napster is also acceptable

Re: Has BTN officially overtaken BitMeTV?
By the way, I just found a strange mushroom growing in one of my houseplants. It smells funny and looks somewhat similar to this:

Do you guys think it's safe to smoke it?

So i've been doing it wrong all these years? That would explain why i have never experienced that magic everybody's talking about. Well I'll be damned!

Re: Has BTN officially overtaken BitMeTV?
smoking mushrooms is totally l33t...eating them wastes most of the good stuff in your stomach acid and then it gets filtered though the kidneys and loses even more of its punch...plugging them is by far the L33Tist way to do them!

Re: Has BTN officially overtaken BitMeTV?
In all seriousness someone please explain to me the point of this thread?

Re: Has BTN officially overtaken BitMeTV?

I think the point was for merwais to show up and demonstrate that there are other reasons he's an idiot, that he's not just a one tune wonder.
Edit: he's also my doctor, I forget to take meds if he doesn't remind me. I'm just that incompetent, I mean look who I have chosen as a doctor.

Don't blame yourself. If he got to doctor in the first place, it means the whole system has gone to hell already.

Re: Has BTN officially overtaken BitMeTV?
BTN as a ratioless tracker is facing a big problem...limit upload speed on client
-
Re: Has BTN officially overtaken BitMeTV?
BTN definitely has made an impact in the tracker scene with being ratio-less but its more frequently down than BMTV.

Re: Has BTN officially overtaken BitMeTV?
You know the one true irony of this forum is that the least intelligent people try to make the most serious posts.
