Thread: Pre-times for torrentleech is really not that great

Many people, in ignorance, think TL has THE best, or second best pre's. This is not true. If you have ever used a tracer, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about: most of TL's wins come from torrents that no other tracker really gives a damn about. In my opinion, a "real" race is a torrent race that involves at least 6 racers, TV shows are an great example of this. Unfortunatly TL does not do very well on those "real" races.

Who the hell gives a damn about 10.27 seconds? If you said 10.27 minutes then maybe I'd see some logic behind why somebody would care, but when you're talking about matters of seconds then does it really matter?

Pre-times is all about bragging.

Doesnt really matter, its a matter of seconds...something on TL might take a couple more days, but at the end of the day you still get what you want. You're not gonna die if its late by a couple of hours or even a day or two.

There comes a point in life when you realize that patience is not only the key but also a virtue.

I'm curious, if someone is so '' addicted '' to pre-times does he/she have a time to watch movies, play games, use application etc., at all ? I mean, if U're focused only on pre-times & let's presume there are hundreds of new torrents being uploaded every day, U could spend the whole day just sitting in front of your monitor & watch just the pre-times...

weird : ) ( & sick )

quality always wins over quantity & silly numbers...

I agree, pre-times have no factor on which tracker I download from. At least this will get people to read and stop saying "XYZ is the best because it has the best pre's".

It's like saying the SSC Ultimate Aero is the best car, and look... it goes 0-60 in 2.7 seconds.



Your Saleen S7 Twin-Turbo only goes 0-60 in 3.2 seconds.



They're both awesome cars but that shouldn't be the reason you bought the Ultimate Aero. Besides, they're both gonna get to the finish line.

Why not use both? I think they compliment each other in a great way. They are like 1A vs 1B.

For an uploader from other site without scene axx, pretimes may count, for the regular user, not at all.


About the pres at TV episodes: it will take more time for you to download at SCC and unpack it than to wait 2 seconds and download the unRARed file from BTN.

yes, I gave my opinion from user's aspect of view, not uploader's... this whole pre-time thing, it's more of a matter of competition between staffers of various trackers & their races than the genuine desire of ordinary users/members... most users are quite indifferent whether their popular movie pops out @ 2.30 AM or 2.35 AM ( for example )...
also, I'm a member of several trackers where word pre-time isn't mentioned at all & members, on the other hand, don't ask about it, too because everybody's happy & grateful to get his/her favorite movie, app, music album for free, without thinking about tiny details...
