Thread: Most overrated trackers

Pre-times are among the least important things I look in a tracker, if not the least important.
A good tracker will have lots of exclusive content, a moderately big user base (20k is fine) and you shouldn't be forced to do all kinds of tricks like auto downloading just to survive there.

by exclusive i think you mean of top quality, no?

(because it's those internals encoders that take their time to produce quality torrents)

Yes, exactly. And I'm willing to wait for a while to get a quality content instead of getting the first one possible.

I have already posted here but never actually gave my opinion.

To me the most overrated tracker is SCC.

Yeah yeah, I'm sure many wont agree. But I really don't understand why people say it is so good.
Pre times? Come on, are you going to tell me that you refresh the browse page every 10 seconds waiting for a specific torrent to be out in the BT world?
Everything I download has already been released for at least 1 day, so it doesnt matter to me if it took an extra 5 minutes, or 1 hour, or even 5 hours for the torrent to be in the tracker.

Anyway, I have to admit, SCC is not so overrated now, since many people have it. I remember that when I joined TI SCC invites were rare. I guess that's when it was actually overrated.
If I had to chose SCC or FTN, you can be sure I'd have no doubt: FTN!

Hmm, and that one is another good subject that I wont get into right now.
I need to end this post with a conclusion. Nobody needs SCC or FTN or any other l33t tracker. This is all you need:

• What.cd for music
• BTN for tv
• PTP for movies

If for some reason you still want a general tracker (maybe for games and apps)
I'd say IPT.

Oh, I almost forgot. You should also get the most powerful back up tracker: Demonoid! xD
Seriously, when I'm looking for some crazy rare stuff and I can't find it anywhere, Demonoid is my best friend!


Hopefully you will all get something from here. And remember, this is just my opinion, I suggest that you read the reviews and test the trackers yourself :)
I'm going to sleep now cheers.

lol yeah doesn't hurt to have demonoid you can really find some random stuff there...

not a member of FTN, SCC, et. al

but I am in revTT and it's pretty over-rated imo.
don't really like the staff there, really easily agitated/worked up... and I usually get whatever I want (which is on revTT) from torrentday/ipt

Sites like scc are good, but I would say limited, as they are too restricted.

I prefer sites like what,ptp, ipt, and btn. I am also becoming partial to gazelle based trackers, and sites like bitmetv, ipt, and revtt are starting to look bland for some reason.

Among general trackers though, I would say ipt wins over sites like scc and revtt, but that's just my opinion. I would say that I am not particular about the number of sites I am a member of, as long I will use them.

tl<file list.........every one forgeted

I would say CHD...all Chinese trackers are Overrated...

HD road..It has great content,but ridiculous speeds.. Dont get me wrong,i never have trouble keeping a ratio there,but if i was looking for something anytime soon i wouldent be looking there..Alot of less popular HD trackers have more or less the same content but must faster speeds,and they dont tie you down to the 30GB rule HD Road have.
