Awesome, thank you!

My apologies, this is not an invite thread and purely informative.

@Zebs, can you please pin this?

Notes: BLU is a very good tracker with everything that’s pretty straight forward. They have one of the best remux groups out of all the trackers. They have quite a bit of content overall. All of the content is held to a high quality standard. However, this is where it also gets them. One of the mods is well known to allow some thing’s through that they shouldn’t have, but, not allow others through and is almost condescending in the way that they respond. I get it, I’m sure they have to deal with a bunch of bad stuff to get to the good. However, being empathetic and understanding are good attributes to have as a mod that this mod is lacking. All of the other staff is more understanding and great to work with. This tracker is a very good one to be a part of. Sonarr/Radarr ready.

Most welcome!

I don’t want to reinvent the wheel here so I’ll use a reply that was on Reddit:

“If you aren’t in any private trackers yet, those two things don’t really apply to you. Typically, you are asked for both a profile URL and screenshot on a private tracker as a way to price that you can survive on a more prestigious tracker, so that only applies to upgrading to “better” ones. This is also what is meant by proof of ratio, your ratio for everything you have downloaded on the site is in your profile. You can try an interview with screenshots of your torrent client if you think they are worth it, but most sites won’t accept them. What you want to do is try to find an open invite/sign-up tracker and learn the ropes on that then once you have a bit of use in that and feel confident you know what you are doing you can start applying for closed ones (although most trackers have an invite forum accessible after you prove your value by seeding the correct amount and other metrics specific to the site, often time on the tracker and amount downloaded). Remember that the “lower-tier trackers” such as those with open invite/sign-up aren’t necessarily worse, in fact a lot of them are nearly on par in terms of new releases. Don’t feel like you are missing too much of you don’t race to the top thinking that more exclusive trackers are better. Enjoy the journey, if you stick with private trackers then you will “upgrade” fairly naturally and without a lot of stress. Last thing, I wouldn’t recommend joining IPT if you want to move to other trackers. It won’t actually hurt your chances, but they don’t have a good name in the community and very few people take a profile on there seriously as proof of anything.”

Very welcome! If you are on any trackers, I hope you are able to give your opinion as well! I don’t claim to be the know-it-all nor would I pretend to be. I just hope I’m at least fairly accurate in my assessments; and if I’m not, I hope there are some people that chime in if they have differing opinions.

We can weight them all the same, but, I was thinking the package of how I’d rate the overall. If everything was weighted the same, it would be a 9.15 which I think may be a little too high for FL.

Notes: FL is super easy to maintain ratio and other only requiring you to seed a torrent for 3 days or 1:1 ratio, it makes it very easy if you need to make space (not recommended unless you have to). The community is super supportive. The internal release groups put out good content. No RAR’d content so perfect for sonarr/radarr. Ease of getting in actually varies from time to time; the holidays are a great time to try to get in as there are typically invites handed out to members during this time.

Awesome feedback! Thank you! I think I will continue to do more and would love to hear your (and others) feedback and experiences on sites.
