FTN is way out of your reach at the moment.. (only a miracle can get you one)
The only possible way for you to get into FTN is if you know someone *personally* who already is a member at FTN.
Now having said that,I believe one shouldnt go by the looks too much.
Ask yourself a simple question.Why do you want to get into FTN ? Whats so super special about FTN ? Does it provide all the answers to the questions humanity had for ages ? Its just another torrent site tracker and nothing else.All these so called elite,top sites are nothing but pure BS.Ok..they have lots of material on them but the same material can be found on so many other sites also.
Ask yourselves .. what do you want to download ?What are your needs ? Do you feel genuinely that a tracker such as IPTORRENTS is not sufficient for your use ?
Its just in peoples mind, this elitism.Its useless.
My suggestions.
If you want HD stuff then get yourselves into sites like HD-TORRENTS.ORG , BIT-HDTV.com , AWESOME-HD.NET , HDAHOY.ORG . These sites combined will provide you will all the HD you ever need.
If you want elearning stuff then get into DOCBITS.COM , BITME.ORG , BITSPYDER.NET, ELBITZ.NET , LEARNBITS.ME .... there are even more search for them. Combined they provide all the material you ever need.Not to forget rapidshare and forums alike.
For general movies. .. try PASSTHEPOPCORN.ORG , TORRENTLEECH.ORG , IPTORRENTS.COM ,REVOLUTIONTT.NET , KARAGARGA.NET , BWTORRENTS.COM , DESITORRENTS.COM , IDESIR.COM , ...... and many many many more.
IF you like TV ... then TVTORRENTS.RO , BITMETV.ORG , BTN ,... and many more..
What I am trying to say is FTN is not the sole answer to all your torrenting needs.Its just a mirage.You dont need to feel depressed coz you are not a member at FTN.Even I dont have membership there.Even tomorrow if someone offers me one, I ll decline it as my torrenting needs are already fulfilled by the myriad trackers I am on at presently.I know that there is nothing ...and absolutely nothing which is available on FTN that I cannot find anywhere else.
