FTN - Why so special?

[soulreaper]

Ftn is special because it's ratiofree and laidback.

They honestly don't have much going for them. Just like U2 they're "stuck in a moment"

Unfortunately that moment was several years ago.

Well said. FTN is like a relatively smart retard, however, still a retard and pretty stupid compared to a 'normal' person.

Is there any tracker that you like?

Is there any tracker that you like?

I like sites that have my preferred choice of content. I also like trackers, in which you aren't being begged (actually more like threatened) on constant basis to donate. Only crappy sites with crappy users end up like that. Also, I prefer trackers that won't take me 15 seconds to load the main page.

Fair enough, I know a lot of people that feel the same way (including people that believe every tracker out there is run badly). On the other hand, though, I've seen you complain about plenty of trackers, with incredible disregard to people who might feel the same way you do in this quote, towards the tracker you are criticizing.

The world isn't perfect, and trackers are probably one of the uglier corners of the internet considering the people they attract, but there's little reason to keep convincing people of that fact over and over.

Really? I've been around as most people have. 4chan/Gamefaqs/gaming league forums/High end audio forums/High end watch forums/Board game forums/WoW Calculation forums/Game hacking forums which I ran myself/ the list could go on and on for days to be honest.

Torrenting is and remains the one place where I have seen the largest collection of idiots, to be honest. There's zero other places on the internet that have a bunch of people starting forum game threads every place they go/with every new open forum.

Quoted for truth

The community is good in the sense that people compete their seedboxes against each other to get the most upload, so the site is able to pull off no ratio and no seed time required for casual members. No other 0day will do that, which at least for me is the appeal of FTN. Fast(er) as nzbs, and the same lack of hassle involved. If you measure community by user IQ, I'd bet FTN is no better than any other torrent site.

FTN has minimum seed time. Stop a torrent you didn't seed to 1:1 after a few hours and it appear as s hit-n-run in snatch history. No seeding requirements is one more myth about FTN.

So, what is the minimum seeding time on the torrents? Am just curious.

32 hours I guess
