Maybe it has something to do with being in North America but I don't find TL especially easy to seed on anymore .
Or course times being what they are I don't find very much easy to seed on anymore.
Persona non grata

Yeah I could be wrong on the retention i havent looked at many older things on TL but those i did look for didnt seem to be active anymore, i cant cite specific examples b/c honestly i dont remember
i should have added however that TL has much better speeds with the large amount of seedboxes etc and it isnt hard to seed after getting past the original wait times but it is still harder than IPT especially with a slower connection
In terms of the l33tness i wasnt saying it was leet, obviously there are many rarer or more "l33t" 0-day trackers i.e. FTN, GFT, etc i was just saying TL is rarer than IPT which is undoubtedly is
I did mean to convey the idea that revTT is more like TL than IPT just without the energy and effort put into pre-times and it is a little easier to get invites... imo its kinda like a TL-lite, if you cant get TL you can settle for revTT without losing much its just a slight step lower
As for the invites on TL idk i havent hit PU yet(idk why im real close just havent used it as much as i expected, i think i thought it would be a little different than it was) but i just thought i read only VIPs and above got invites in the FAQ or something but i could be mistaken... o well i think between the two of us we have most of the facts straight lol

or maybe it has something to do with downloading the latest torrents filled with seedboxes.Originally Posted by IdolEyes787
i'm currently seeding 741 torrents and my upload speed is "only" 110 K/s - i'm still able to reach 1:1 on every torrents i get from TL.
maybe it wouldn't be the same story if my daily downloads were new torrents.
whenever people agree with me, i always feel i must be wrong.

Ne t'en fais pas, le .gif n'était pas necessaire du toutmaybe i should have included this .gif in my post
Maybe I should have put the .gif here myselfit hasn't always been true if you know what i mean
In the past it was the French speaking part of Belgium (les Walloons) that represented the financial stenght of Belgium. Dutch speaking people were considered ‘inferior’.les flamands sont certes travailleurs, talentueux et efficaces, mais ils ont un côté terre-à-terre (pragmatique) et communautaire assez insupportable (et malheureusement, c'est plutôt une réelle constatation qu'un cliché.).
alors c'est vrai que les wallons n'ont pas toutes ces qualités... mais ils leur reste une âme.
Up till now you can still find French speaking bourgeoisie in 100% Flemish cities like Ghent, Antwerp, Hasselt where people believe to be superior just because they interact in French.
Since a fair amount of time the economic balance has shifted to Flanders and a lot, and I mean a lot of Flemish people are unhappy with the fact a minority (the Walloons) are dictating their will in a country where massive amounts of €€€ are transferred to the French speaking part.
It’s funny because I actually don’t share these people’s vision. I truly adore the French language. It is far more colourfull and refined than Dutch (or English). During my childhood I spend all my holidays amongst the Walloons to learn French.
I work in Brussels amongst French-speaking people and they have a natural charm, that they share with the French, there’s no denying in that … but I do think some of them have adopted a wrong mentality. They believe Flanders should take care of them, criminality, corruption and unemployment are sky-high and massive amounts of money earned by the Dutch speaking part is transferred to the French speaking part.
That is basically the reason why so many Dutch speaking people are unhappy with our co-habitation.
The soul of the Walloons you speak of has slowly faded away and instead a lethargy has taken it’s place. Their motivation to make economic progress is minimal and the results are catastrophic at least.
In Brussels, capital of Belgium you are still unable to express yourself in Dutch in a majority of stores because a big part of the Walloons believe the Dutch speaking inhabitants should adapt themselves to the minority. I have no problem with that because I speak French fluently, but the people that did not have the chance to learn French feel very frustrated.
Flemish people have developed … we ain’t the working mass we were long time ago. Yes, we still work hard but we do enjoy the fruits of our labour. We might be pragmatic, yes, but we feel we have been undergoing the will of the Walloons long enough.
In the past they had that ‘right’ because the economic power laid in their part of the country. Unfortunately for them, their economy deteriorated over time and shifted to Flanders.
Way off topic here, I know … but it has been a very long time I had the occasion to write something I truly felt passionate about at FST. Thanks for that!
Can you feel the LOVE

voilà un point de vue intéressant et fort bien argumenté
quoi qu'il en soit, je comprend tout à fait que les flamand soient agacés par la mentalité et l'attitude générale des wallons, surtout quand on sait que c'est eux (les flamands) qui portent l'économie de tout un pays à bout de bras.
mais au-delà du conflit politico-énonomique, je pense qu'il y a tout simplement incompatibilité entre les deux cultures, qui se confrontent plus qu'elles ne s'apportent.
oh and sorry for the french but i'm too tired to take time to find the right words.

Thanks for the informative post anonymous0711.
I do understand people wanting to get in to TL though, it doesn't help that in posts such as "You favourite top 3 private tracker?" that TL comes up again and again. I mean, even I want in...

Actually to be 100% honest thats why i wanted in at first also... ppl made it seem so great and it was in everyones favorites so i thought it would have more differences from places like IPT and revTT than it ended up having... I was quite disappointedThanks for the informative post anonymous0711.

Unfortunately it means that now i have a TL account that while i do use, i do not use as much as i would like to. I do like the site but its not everything its cracked up to be lol now i end up using it sparingly which makes me feel as if i did somewhat of a disservice to my inviter. I do use the tracker however and will never trade it etc but i guess ppl just make it out to be more than it actually is or at least it was for me because i already had IPT and revTT

surprising, to say the least; every time i've been looking for a film, there was always more seeders on TL and Revtt than on IPT.
i can even give you an example: i was just looking for HD releases of "Che" (part 1 & 2) and a xvid version of "No country for old men" (to make a comparison with the D-Z0N3 BDRip). let's see the results:
IPT
Revtt
TL
and i could also give you examples of well-seeded HD releases on TL that were dead on trackers such as Bit-HDTV.
whenever people agree with me, i always feel i must be wrong.

I just shows that people on IPT have better taste because those movies suck*.
* It's hardly a fair comparison in terms of retention if you look at the times downloaded.
If conversely ( for no particular reason) you want to base it on percentage still seeding for No Cunt-tree IPT a tad under 7%. RevTT 0.5% Torrentleech a shade under 0.2%**
** Probably just more or less the same people cross-seeding on every site anyway.

IPT may have proportionally better stats, the results talk for themselves: there are more seeders for old releases on TL and honestly, that's all i (we?) care about.
