Thread: V.I.P. Question for new user.

Hello T-I Community,

I am a new to the T-I family looking to gain trust with my peers in this great community. In order to accomplish this I will be purchasing a V.I.P. membership Thursday and I have a question about requesting invites as a V.I.P member.



After reading numerous requests, I have learned that members want Ratio proofs and Speed tests to insure that you are a good candidate for their tracker. This poses a problem for me because I only use one tracker
(Demonoid) and hold a 0.54 ratio.

So my question is, will being a V.I.P member help me obtain invites that ask for these requirements?

This in no way will alter my decision to be a V.I.P member, just asking advice on how to build trust with my fellow members.

Thank you

well AFAIK being VIP means that you can access all levels of tracker giveaways regardless of postcount or class
and invites and bonuses are more freely available to VIP members too as the system grants extra bonus reps to those fulfilling a request in the VIP subForum
but it also boils down to your experience in the torrenting world
not many would want to invite someone with just a Demonoid proof to GFT or higher
i would suggest you to take it slow, browse around the site, frequent the IRC and make some friwnds
Start with low level Private trackers like IPT, TL,PTM and slowly build your ratios
Employ a seedbox to speed up the process

and then get VIP when you are ready

tonystark is correct the best way to get into the trackers you are seeking is to be active on our forum and meet and make friends among our community

Like the others said, you need to become active in the community in order to gain trust, you have access to some areas of the forums so be active there so you can then gain access to the areas you are interested in. Right now you have access to the 10% giveaways, take advantage of that, lots of good invites given on that section so you can build a ratio on mid level trackers.

I also joined T-I with only 2-3 very low level trackers. Now.......
My tips -
1. Keep an eye on the Open Trackers forum, some very good trackers open up from time to time, you never know what you might find.
2. Like others have said, start off with trackers like IPT and TL because they are pretty easy to get into and will cover a lot of your torrenting needs.
3. Budget seedboxes from companies such as Feral, Pulsed Media and Gamestuff will help you make the next step by boosting your ratios and is also a big plus when you're applying for an invite.
4. Learn the T-I rules and guidelines.
5. Like others have said, get involved in this wonderful T-I community, post torrent news articles, review trackers, post open trackers that you come across, make tutorials, answer peoples questions and join us over in the #torrent-invites IRC channel.

Also have a read of these links as well.

levels?

*shakes head*

My best advice is to not rush into anything.

Try the ratioless trackers like PTM and start figuring out ways to maintain good ratios.

Keeping a ratio isn't as difficult as you might suspect once you have a number of different trackers. If your U/L speed is really tragic, I'd recommend a seedbox. They never turn off and always keep seeding. Try getting a few low requirement trackers like IPT, PTM, HDS, etc.

Being an impulsive person I make the mistake of rushing into a situation and wasting money. There are plenty of ways to get great tracker invites, in fact PM me if you want any of the trackers named above.

Edit:
In fact here are the reviews for them if you wanna take a closer look:


PreTo.Me - PTM - Ratioless
IPTorrents - IPT - General
HD-Space - HDS - HD

Ouch. A ratio of .54 is extremely low for tracker such as Demonoid. Perhaps you need to figure out the reason behind your low ratio, whether it is the amount of time you seed or the bandwidth that you are currently using. You should get a good buffer on trackers before actually downloading large files. I found out with Demonoid, years ago, that downloading the files with the most leechers tend to help your ratio quite a bit. You should get that ratio up in no time at all. At the same time, keep up with T-I and slowly but surely you will earn the rep you need for some better trackers.

If it's a bandwidth problem and you don't have the funds for a monthly seedbox, you have a few options: 1)Going for ratio-less/easy to seed trackers 2)Hopping on over to the 'Free Seedboxes' Sub-Forum and trying your luck there. 3)There are always open trackers if you check the 'Open Trackers' Sub-Forum (make sure you do your research on those trackers before signing up in case it's hard to seed or there are some certain requirements).

Essentially what everyone else has contributed. It might be overwhelming at first and since you got repped in, you must be excited and hopeful of all these great trackers to just jump in your lap but be patient and learn the ins and outs of torrenting and soon you'll have all the trackers you need and then some!

Thanks guys for all the advice, it has been overwhelmingly helpful !
