What, do you think, makes a good member of a private tracker different from a bad...

[IdolEyes787]

No one "deserves a place" anywhere as far as torrent trackers are concerned. Access to them is a privilege, not a right.

Other than that, I'm pretty sure this has been discussed plenty of times in the past already.

please stop spamming.....if you have nothing interesting to say....9,746 post full of spam

What the fuck is it with these people ? This is the only forum that I ever heard of where some people think posting is a bad thing.
I guess that goes back to my point where a lot of these twits see this site only on a want /get basis.

Btw I hate to shock you but you are not the sole judge of what people find interesting.

I see a bit of talk about bandwidth being the difference between a good and a bad user.

Personally, I use a seedbox for virtually everything I download (except for .mp3's). Not because I'm a ratio whore (couldn't give a fuck about ratio... anything above 1:1 is just taking way ratio opportunities from other users) but because I live in a country where my shitty 90GB monthly data cap costs a small fortune ($150p/m) and the speeds aren't that great either (15Mb/s down 3Mb/s up). So, in order to obtain the content I'm after, I let the seed box take care of the costly part... the seeding back. This way, I get around 90GB of actual content each and every month. (usually go over my cap, by around 10 - 30GB each month... so ends up costing a ton more). That way, I feel I've had value for the cost of the connection. I don't download a game I won't play. I've never downloaded a movie or tv episode either myself or my Girlfriend haven't watched. Sometimes I post on tracker forums. Sometimes I hang out in their IRC channels. Sometimes I even upload stuff or send a little donation in the direction of a trackers paypal account. Hell, sometimes I even log in to the tracker I Admin at. That to me, makes me a good user in my opinion. I don't understand what else is really needed from a user. Sure, to some people, gigantic fucking ratios look cool, and a mammoth snatch list filled with shit you couldn't possibly have had time to watch/listen/use is nice and all... but to most, you just look like a douche.

As for the user base of the little tracker I call home... if I see a user that downloads the odd file, logs in to the site and looks around maybe once or twice a week/fortnight, and seeds their stuff for an extended period (as we don't always have a ton of leech activity) so another user later down the line can snatch it too, and maybe (just maybe) pops in to the IRC channel, or says hi on the forums, then that's enough for me. To me, that's a good user. Anyone that goes above and beyond all that, is a great user.

(probably not much more than worthless blah blah, but I still wanted to throw my 2c ramble in to the mix).

Sometimes I feel mentally retarded 'cause I don't understand how people view me as a person...

Wasn't it suggested before that you need to stop caring what a bunch of douchebag strangers online think of you? It's a little saddening to see that you haven't yet put that into practice, OlegL.

Just download whatever you want, seed it back the best you can, and don't worry about anything else. BT is simply a means to obtain files. Not something that you should allow to make you feel "mentally retarded".

But still, I don't think that members of private trackers usually hear about themselves the comments that are as strong as "Go back to Mininova where you belong" or am I wrong?

[whatcdfan]

what was the story behind those comments?

[OlegL]

I am talking about this comment that somebody made about me on filesharingtalk: "Have you maybe considered that you are in fact retarted? There are 20,000 members who seem to get by just fine. I seriously doubt that each and every one of those members finds the staff weird. I certainly don't. The forums provide an insane amount of knowledge about video encoding, HDTV's etc. The torrents are always on time and well encoded. You are the odd one out of the group.

Go back to mininova where you belong. "

You'll find this comment if you look for it.
