    Correct, but the relationship between FTN and ScT (towards the end of the latter's life, at least) was of being the "Two trackers at the top." The relationship between SCC and ScT was always a race for better pretimes, where each prebot respectively placed itself first, then the other announces came.

    Most people tend to look for the "next best thing", instead of "that tracker that raced us and failed". That's how I see it, anyways.

    I'm not a member of FTN so I can't tell how close it is to ScT/SCC but I know that the latter two could pass for twins (minus the extremely dedicated uploaders I grew to love at ScT, no offense, of course).

    Jesus, can't a man get a fucking break once in a while? I was in the middle of wanking off to some nice, premium ass porn, I don't have the fucking time in the world to meddle with this shit. A man's got his needs...

    I could be like everyone else, and tell you that FTN is completely overrated. But you've must've already seen that, from the torrent forums, hearsay, and even our very own invites section, where nearly every FTN request is destroyed and torn down within a matter of hours: its overrated, the content isn't spectacular, its just another 0day, yadda yadda yadda. And in that respect, MBM is very correct: it has nothing special going for it. Its just another tracker, and the content can easily be found elsewhere.

    But lets be honest here. When someone sets their mind on something, when they want it enough, they aren't going to listen to other peoples advice. They tune out what they don't want to hear, and only listen to the advice that supports and furthers their own viewpoint. You most likely won't ever be satisfied with a "don't bother, it's overrated" naysayer until you've seen it for yourself. I can nearly guarantee you that you will be thoroughly disappointd with what FTN has to offer, but the reality is (to no fault of your own) that you will never believe me, until you actually see the content and try it for yourself (And I will admit, that I have most definitely, to a certain extent, suffered from this as well).

    So what is my advice to you? Be honest with yourself. No one really wants it for its amazing content, or its amazing pretimes, or packs or whatever the hell else a tracker is judged by these days. People want it for one reason - they've already caved in to the massive amount of hype that surrounds it. You want FTN - as with many others - truly just to satisfy a curiosity, and nothing more. Maybe that gives the connotation of being a collector, and mabye that's a bad thing - but it's better than a lie. Be honest with Idol - why you really want it, why you're really after such a site - even if it's a bad one - and he may at some point take pity on you.

    It's handy when you're not autodownloading 0-day from a site like SCC or when you want some scene stuff that you didn't autodownload. It's also handy if you'd like some fairly slack seeding rules, or if you have a genuinely poor connection and actually intend on leeching 0-day content there (of course in that case PTM works too).

    Most of the descriptions of the site in this thread are quite accurate. People are indeed whoring ratio to get to that 10TB up userclass (not sure why, they don't seem to have many tangible user class benefits. Maybe you can view NFOs at some point? That's about it. The "legendary community" there isn't really my cup of tea either, the forums are for the most part full of spam like most sites of this kind and the IRC is usually fairly quiet.

    Speeds on new stuff are decent, as are pretimes. Retention isn't great depending on the content in question but really on a 0-day tracker emphasis is generally placed on downloading new material, for older files generally niche movie/tv/music/games trackers will serve you better. I use it because I have it really, if I didn't I'd be fine with PTM or GFT.

    I had an account there and it was great tracker but they disabled all my country accounts few months ago .

    I wanna to thank Rat for the advice and tell you maybe FTN is disappointing for you but for some other people it's the ONE tracker that rule them all .
    People compare between SCT and SCC and both are great even if SCT better in many ways , So i think FTN will be like them atleast it was the same for alot of people .

    Any way the thread is going to be a discuss thread about how good is FTN and the deference between top trackers which in my opinion it's spaming the OP thread .

    You should do it in public. And if it's for FTN I wouldn't hold your breath

    Since I'm a clinical psychopath I would have to develop some first before you could actually hurt them.
    That was me being humourously serious.At least I hope it was since my total lack of normal feeling means I just have to make a rough approximation on these things.

    Wait I do have some feelings ,Rart irritates me.
    Respect my lack of authority.

    You're mistaking feelings for an instinctive evolutionary response again.

    @DeNeDe17 if you wish to request anything please do so in public and not by PM.

    I understand the reluctance on your part because you are opening yourself up for further abuse but as I have stated I am not much one for playing in the shadows.
    If there are any repercussions to anyone(myself included) because of anything I have done here I would just as soon take public responsibility for my actions.

    Like when a earthworm pulls back from searing heat? Thanks for clearing that up, I would feel better now if I could.
