Your Tips To New Torrent Users?

3) As levels go up, content goes down.

So is that true for HDBits, Pedros, E, and FTN to name a few. Just because they are high level doesn't mean they are lacking in content.

My statement applies to every single one of those trackers save for HDBits. The lossless trackers have far less content than What/Waffles, which in turn have far less content than Demonoid/Rutracker, which in turn have far less content than TPB. It's all relative. The biggest difference is the objective increase in quality of the rip, not the breadth of content. Plus there are entire genres of music that have barely any representation there.

FTN has the same old 0-day stuff that every other 0-day site has, with fewer peers. They have packs, sure, but so do most other 0-day sites. Again, it has less content than a site like SCC, which in turn has less content than a site like IPT or TL, etc, etc.

He means to avoid BT altogether and just go with Usenet.

Dear to whom in may concern

PS So does your Mom or at least that's what I read on the bathroom wall.

Mom jokes are just like video games and cartoons. No matter how old I get I'll never grow out of them.

Content should be compared relative to the type of file each tracker allows.

Here are some tips.

1. Use a seperate gmail account for all of your tracker invites (not your personal one)
2. Don't use the same user name twice
3. Learn Bittorrent, how to upload and SEED.
4. Don't cheat/trade.
5. Don't hang out in IRC or post much in forums
6. Always read the rules and FAQ
7. Do not download large packs first
8. Beware of the hot torrents
9. Respect the staff
10. Make friends

2. Don't use the same user name twice

In point 4 you're telling people not to cheat or trade. If they follow that advice, why should they use different nicknames on each one of their trackers?

also 5 and 10 how are you supposed to make friends if you never go to the forums/irc?

I really dont see why new members shouldnt come to forums/IRC though, especially if they have questions (regarding anything not just BT/tracker related), just because someone posts a lot, or comes into IRC it doesnt mean they are "sucking up" to the staff, and most owners have been in this long enough to tell the genuine members to the sucky uperers (the sucky uperers will never get a staff position on my tracker anyway), but if you know what the hell you are talking about on a certain subject and you help members out, one may very well come your way (a staff position that is).

OP, join any bittorrent site you like. Download, upload and/or donate. Love the trackers you are on. What.cd needs your donations. Donate to it to keep it running. Don't forget to be a great pirate.

Pirate's moral? couldnt agree more.

also 5 and 10 how are you supposed to make friends if you never go to the forums/irc?

Although I agree with the rest of your post, I usually make my friends by sitting with people at lunch and talking to them. Or meeting them in classes, or through family, or by being neighbors. It is the rare person that I call "friend" on the internet. For example, although I think many people on this forum are generally friendly, witty, helpful, etc. I wouldn't call them friends.

well i presumed, as the thread is about BT and trackers and advice to new members, he meant make friends on trackers, not in real life, you dont even need to have the net never mind be on a tracker to make friends in real life, so i really dont see your point tbh.
