BitmeTV is overrated

Yes, shocking.
You all are like:What? No.Impossible.How can you say something like this about the best tracker with tv content in the world?
I know, shame on me.Or not!Let's just take a look and see if i am so wrong about this.I promise i will try to be as clear as possible about this.
So, you all say it's the best TV tracker out there.But why?What can you say that will make me believe this?You can't so let me convince you about this.



First aspect we must discuss about is the content right?That is why people join trackers, for its content right?

So, lets see bitmetv's content.It has a lot of torrents, yes, but almost all old seasons from some shows that people like only have 1-2 seeders or are even dead.Let's say i wanna start watching Top Gear from the first season and you can see it either has only 1 seeder or it's even dead.And this is just an example.There are lots of other torrents like this.

And let's say it has 5-6 seeders.There is another problem which involves a little thing called RATIO.Yes, many don't count this, but it's a very big problem.If you leech an old torrent your ratio will go down fast and it will be very very hard to actually rise it back.New users who actually leech something like that are 100% going to be banned for low ratio or will donate just to maintain it's account.Two thing i will never agree with and nobody should accept this kind of thing because p2p is free for everyone.Nobody should be forced to pay just to not be banned for not being able to maintain a ratio.

So people say it's not impossible to maintain a ratio here and that i am exaggerating.Yes, it's not impossible here or anywhere.But at what cost?
First way to maintain a ratio is here by downloading other torrents that have high activity to increase your ratio.Sounds like a great idea! NOT! Users forced to download files that they don't want or need or will ever use just so they can avoid a ban is again one of the things i find stupid and ridiculous.Especially for those with a low bandwidth.Why download 5 GB of files you don't use just so you can add another 1 Gb to your upload so you can leech a new episode from Heroes?This cannot be accepted in trackers with that reputation.

Next way to maintain a ratio is something i hate the most when it's about users with low bandwidth:SEEDBOXES. Yup, seedboxes.The next and biggest way for a user to leech and and seed torrents.Packed with 100Mbit or 1 Gbit download and upload speed, these are starting to spread like mushrooms after a rainy day.Don't get me wrong, i am ok with people using them for their interests or to get files faster or just to upload files but I'm not ok with renting a seedbox just so you can maintain your ratio.It's almost like pay2leech system.Again stupid when files can be downloaded for free.


The only thing that still makes this tracker so desired is not it's content, which is average, but its fame and the fact that invites are very hard to find.Purely collector reasons or trading reasons.There are few users that are actually looking for a good community or content there.


I think my point has been achieved.If still you are not convinced then try using other Tv trackers and you will feel the difference.Try some trackers like Freshon.tv, Tvtorrents.com or Broadcasthe.net.After using this you should realise that all i said is true and you will have another opinion about Bitmetv.



Note:This is just informative and i don't have nothing with bitmetv as a tracker.If you have it you should use it as much as you can.I respect the tracker, the staff and the work they put to making this tracker.

It's true that for every regular tv-show addict FreshonTV and TVTorrents
have it all. But on BitMeTV there are a lot of series that couldn't be found elsewhere. Maybe it is little overrated and you are
all saying how difficult it is to seed there but iPlay or SCC are also very difficult to seed. And noone complains that they are overrated. And now one will say that SCC has really awesome pretimes but for a regular user it doesn't matter if he gets the release 27,4 seconds later on some other tracker. For me BitMeTV is the best but all other tvtrackers are also awesome.
 
Bitmetv is not overated. Hard to seed? Definetly. But as a TV resource not overated at all IMO.

It was the only place I could find Friday Night Lights when it was airing its 3rd season while it was on DirecTV before it was rebroadcast on NBC.

I think the point being ( as made in the original granted semi-retarded copy/paste post)that if a site basically requires that you download a lot of supercilious stuff just to maintain ratio then something is probably wrong .
As for needing something "ASAP", unless maybe you cut yourself and need something to stop the bleeding, that is intrinsically stupid .
 
I have a +10GB buffer on a 0.5Mbit line just by seeding what I downloaded for a while. And I only grabbed stuff I wanted old or new. I don't get why you say it's useless. I find it great for rarer stuff.

I of course just use some 0-sec tracker for the popular new stuff and whole dvd seasons or TVTorrents, so it's not my main TV tracker, but I still like it enough to keep it alive for the occasional download, which I'll only find there.
 
Once had an account there, but it died of inactivity. TvT and/or any 0-Day tracker easily fulfill my TV needs. BitMeTV appears to be a great archive for rare/obscure shows, though.

It really wouldn't be that much of an adjustment.
Being from Belgium you already live in a bilingual country and are used to good beer and crappy weather .Now just start calling football soccer and then ignore it in favor of hockey ,end every third sentence with eh ( "That double double at Tim Horton's was decent eh") and I doubt if anyone could (at least in passing )really tell the difference.:idunno:

Oh course for intimate encounters you still will need a maple leaf tattoo but that goes without saying.

Complaining how the system sucks means we should stop using it?

let it go. now it's trendy to say that "being member is not a right but a privilege", it's "their tracker their rules" etc just like it was trendy to be an anti-trader back in the day.
