    I agree with this one.. Freeleech and no minimum seed requirement is priceless..

    One more thing, is it just me or does the following 'misconception' stem from what SCT was like 'before' pretimed content was free and the userbase was 10k? Biggest misconception on FST is the above one.
    Supposing I download a 350mb 0-day torrent (ie Heroes) on SCT. I don't have a fast enough connection to seed much back while there are still leechers on the torrent. Therefore, in order for me to get that torrent from SCT I have to buffer my account. To do this I download say 350mb of a freeleech pack that I will never watch. Then I seed back 350mb of that pack to other site users who are probably doing the same thing I am and so will never watch it either. As far as my ISP is concerned I have used over a gig of my monthly cap to get that 350mb torrent from SCT. Same torrent at FTN would use up 350mb.
    So shouldn't you be saying "yeap, sct is good, but it hard to keep good ratio (if you have a capped upload form your ISP)

    And now, those people who said TL "rocks". ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING? It's the most pathetic pay-to-leech site on the net. Have you ever notice for example xbox360 uploads? From 300 comments, 250 is something like this -> "is this region free?" , I mean SERIOUSLY, those fucktards can't read a fucking nfo, and the site "rocks". Great peers? Lol. There might be 3,000 seeders for a movie, but the peers are some noobish people with slow connections. And maybe 5-10 seedboxes in whole swarm. Then there is this steve20 dude, he blatantly stole far cry 2 clonedvd from demonoid and tagged it as TL. When I started complaining and telling him what a douchebag he is, I got warned. Now, couple days ago, there is this uploader "sataya" or something. Basically the guy steals uploads from SCC, and doesn't even bother to remove the comment "SCC" in torrent description, Lmfao. All those piece of shit VIP's they have, ratio was low as 0.0001. And they only excuse is, either, "Im vip", or, "i got slow connection" <- yea right, slow connection? How did you manage to download 15TB with your slow connection in 20weeks?

    End of rant. And I couldn't care less if I get warning for that. I only told the truth.
    Being p2l didn't mean it doesn't rock
    All TL torrents maxes up ur connection and that what the good torrent tracker should offer, if u think we must think TL is a shit just cuz u've a warning there, then

    I've already said earlier in this thread that I think SCT is a great site.

    You said that you couldn't see (ratio free) FTN being any better than what users get at SCT (free-leech on packs). I was pointing out that for those who are worried about the amount of gigs they use, free-leech on certain torrents is not the same as a ratio free tracker.

    My ISP has a cap but doesn't seem to enforce it or at least they haven't up until now, but if I have a choice between using a site where I can get a torrent using 350mb or one where it takes 1gig to get the same file then I will download from the first site.

    ScT...FTN....maybe, someone have an invite to?
    my home upload speed - 100Mbits
    Ratio on TL - Ratio: 20.987 Uploaded: 922.11 GB Downloaded: 43.94 GB

    Is it enough to get an invite?)

    Fair enough, wheeloftime, I didn't even realise you were addressing my "they're basically the same" point. I thought you were merely reclasifying comments that "SCT is a tracker that is an insanely hard tracker to seed on" by adding the 'capping' justification.

    On your point that if you were to have a choice between using a site where I you could get a torrent using 350mb or one where it takes 1gig to get the same file then you'd download from the first site, well damn right but with 14000 of SCT's 19000 users being PU above, it's probably a rarity more than anything. SCT seem to give out GBs like Christmas presents on Elmo's Christmas Wish. And then there's the 350mb files being only 262mb as well making it, IMO, not the traumatic seedbox frenzied slow connection slaying site that gets portrayed around here all too often; hell, even at 60kbs up, I can hit Heroes' 262 within 12 hours. Interesting discussion though. Still, I like getting grabbing something a few days late and know it'll take a few minutes to dload due to all the seedboxes obliged to seed to 72 hours and if I wanted it for free, I'd go to FSC. SCT is torrenting on speed.

    Actually the colossal dick part is pretty accurate.

    Every time I see such a large buffer I don't think "wow that guy's got great speed" instead the first thing that comes to mind is that guy a bad member.

    ( I'll admit I am not immune to such stupidity myself.It's an ongoing process of learning to be less selfish)

    How can ScT and FTN be different things? They are both torrentsites that offer the latest releases to their members.

    Also, Doctors have nice cars btw.
