Any sites really comparable to TL?

**harshytkage** · 07-06-2009, 12:16 PM

look, it's pretty simple, TL is expendable to a LOT of poeple, they Alienate the new members with pointless wait times, and the initial gigs upped are a pain for anyone witha slow conneciton, IPT and PTM, both on the other hand have none of the above mentionaed problems, Not to mention the Glaring lack of freeleech on TL(regardless of it's ease of seeding, aka slow conneciton problem)...

Just wondering, what kind of connection do you have? Lots of slow connection people survive really well on TL. As far as wait times and lack of free leech are concerned, those are one of the features why TL has the best retention among all trackers. No freebies encourage the users to seed and thats why it is one of the best trackrers IMO. My first private tracker was TL, and I got rid of wait times on my 512 kbit upload in about 2 weeks, just seeding one torrent which I snatched off arenabg. Wait times help weed out bad users and people who are not willing to put the effort. Good users remain on the site. Sure, it can be a pain in the ass sometimes for newbies, but it has worked for TL so far, considering that it was about 450,000 seeders.

ScT isn't exactly the easiest site to get into...plus if you don't have a seedbox you will die there unless you download everything freeleech that comes your way...

IPT and RevTT are the best options...RevTT is my favorite all around site, but thats just me

you have to remember when counting torrents just because Revtt and ScT has more torrents then TL...TL doesn't do pr0n and that is at least 15% of ScT and RevTT(if not more)
edit: I see a XXX catagory on TL? is that for VIP plus?

there are only 3 sites I really use RevTT(90%-everything, forums) SCC(8%-TV packs and shows because of their pretimes) (ScT-2% random packs, forums [if I got into ScT a long time ago and built a better buffer it would be my main site]) waffles(all music)

amount of torrents:
revTT: 25,446 (has a request section, that I have used many many times)
ScT: 24,882 (anyone that says ScT doesn't have the best speed doesn't have an account there)
SCC: 32,862 (not sure why this isn't a level 4[10]?)
TL: 24,832 (thats with no porn that I know of? - which is really impressive)
IPT: 58,217 (All of their movies get turned into .mp4s if I am not mistaken)
PTM: 36,010 (just joined this weekend...will probably just let it die...I think sites that keep ratios have better speed and retention [GFT,FTN could be the exception]) only reason I joined was pure curiosity(I hate the layout and forums) I like really clean looking sites (RevTT, SCC, ScT, IPT, PTN [all very pleasing to the eye])

it all comes down what you want and what you can handel:

speed = ScT (and fairly active forums)
Pretime = SCC
awesomeness = revTT (I am biased, I really like that site)
ads, ugly forums, prolly next to get shut down

= TL
good underated site = IPT
easy to join, no ratio = PTM

I put a lot more effort into this thread then I wanted to this early in the morning

nice post tippertime, very informative =) I am going to try to get on RevTT soon as it seems to be the best TL alternative. Ive been using TL for years, but want to check out RevTT. I also agree with you, I can't stand the layout on PTM. I too did make an acc there, but will also probably not use it, letting it die so another user can join.

**cabbar** · 07-06-2009, 10:24 PM

Linkomanija = 35,287 torrents
Torrent.LT = 38,195 torrents
Torrentleech = 24,910 torrents

Just personal preference, it kinds puts a new user off if you have to wait 48 hrs for smfin, just that TL didn't live up to my kind of expectations, so imho IPT still has a head over TL...
