View Full Version : Donate you sometimes money to the trackers?.
Do you donate money to trackers ..for some help??
What is your opinion its a good idea to donate for grow up the trackers??
if it helps to hold the tracker online, maybe. if it helps to make the pockets of the owner full with money, NO.
if it helps to make the pockets of the owner full with money, NO.
yeah sure thats the critical point of all donations..where the money goes???
I never donated, cuz I don't have any online account, like paypal and that stuff! :tongue:
maybe i would, but don't have paypal or so,think that my country don't support paypal yet
I've donated money to TheBox, because they really deserved it. Nice staff, nice community, with a wonderful invitation board, and even their own internal cappers. If all it took was 5 euros to show my support for them, then I might as well.
I haven't donated till now, maybe in the future but I rather think not.
I only donated for invites till now or for VIP on some trackers.
I have donated to SCC to help sosterene the high cost of the site.
In my opinion you need help with some money.
Same as shoulder - I have never donated for now. Maybe in the future, but only if it helps the tracker and not their owners. :wink:

If i will have a sallary over 3000e per mounth
i swear that i will donate every mounth 20e for GFT,PTN,SCT,SCC in my interest : get some invites.
But until now NO - i wanted to fake donate to some tracker send them just 1c and showing that i have donated 10e but i have changed my mind in the last sec...because some sec issue .
I have done once or twice to help the tracker.
On romainian trakers they ask like 5-10 euro but i just saw at a friend of mine than the minimum sum is 24 euro on torrentleech :shockkk!:.Man that's my allowance for 3 months.
I can, and I intend to in the foreseeable future. However the funds I intend to allocate for this purpose are extremely limited, hence I wish to invest a bulk of it in a tracker I'm most comfortable in. That, of course, I have yet to find.
As for the 2nd question, I see no definitive answer besides a yes. To speak frankly, it'd be like asking whether it's good to tip bellboys and porters. They do you a favour, you don't exactly owe them anything, but you do it simply out of good will, and as a sign of gratitude for the service. Hence, absolutely yes if you're in a grateful or generous mood. :smile:
How many of you donate the money to the trackers?
What are your thoughts on the trackers which always ask for money when they hit 100% donations also?
I had seen many trackers want their donations must hit 130% and above why I dont understand?what you think of the trackers like those?
I didn't donate ever but i may get a box -Not cheating all the way- build some buffer and share, This may be considered like support.

I never donate money... I can support tracker with my releases, nothing more....
i don't ever donate to any trackers.I like uploading releases from other trackers to buffer my accounts.
Moved.
My stance on the matter has remained pretty much the same. :gwink:

If I had the cash I would donate to the trackers I find worthy. I would mostly support those rare-content trackers with few users (somthing less than 5000). I've never seen a new tracker that "brutally" asks for donations. They ask politely without multiple pm's or pop-ups etc.
And no, I've never donated to anything in my entire life.

Never donated but it's not problem if a tracker needs my help :)
I donate regularly to my favorite tracker.
I sometimes donate to other trackers. I also used to donate every 2 months to FTN until my account was disabled (and not even for cheating but the stupid newly pointed admin didn't even care I was a donor)
there is no reason of that, because in my opinion a tracker is made for downloading and uploading stuff
once i kinda donated to gft, a buddy did actually just to get that 1 invite for him for 5 Euros.
if you feel better when donating, then do it, i would actually feel just worse :D
it's not about feeling better or not, it's about really helping out your favorite tracker.
it's not about feeling better or not, it's about really helping out your favorite tracker.
then go for it! if your favorite tracker needs help and you want to donate for that reason, then i have no reasons that should stop you :)
I have donated just once.
When one of my favorite small niche trackers was in a crisis.

Well that's not cool if your favorite tracker goes down for sure! I liked ScL when it was online a lot and ScT even even more.... Daamn, how i miss those trackers :lol:
But anyway trackers aren't the most important thing in life! :D Or mby they are? :D
Well, nowadays real life and tackers share my time about 60/40. So trackers are quite important at this point in my life.
That could change (or not) at any time of course.
These small niche trackers provide extremely rare material and I would hate to loose that.
I love 70s and 80s tv-shows and there are not that many trackers which have such shows.
So loosing one would be a big loss.

I've not donated to any tracker, nor do I intend to do so. By my logic, using trackers to obtain music/software/whatever without paying is the draw. If I donate to keep a tracker alive, wouldn't it be more prudent, and far more legal, to simply purchase the things I wish to have?

Paying 5 dollars to a tracker to help keep it up is hardly the same as buying everything you get on said tracker legally. The amount that people generally donate is often smaller than the amount one item would cost. I'm sure if you were maintaining a tracker, you'd like some help too

Paying 5 dollars to a tracker would leave a paper trail that directly links me to a den of iniquity. This, one might say, is a bad thing. Running a tracker is entirely different, and I've no interest in doing so. If I would, however, I'd potentially allow donations, but I'd never grovel for them. It's pathetic. If you can't fund your own endeavours, perhaps you should not make the attempt.
Furthermore, how do you know whether or not $5 would cover the cost of what I download? You have no knowledge of my habits or interests. Perhaps I download an album that could be purchased at a thrift store for a mere pittance. What then? It's not as if I'm downloading insanely overpriced software that I couldn't ever possibly find a need nor use for, you should know.

in most cases it dös
I make sure to donate $20 to each tracker every month that I feel deserves it: What.CD, PTP, TC, BTN and CE (where I cheat the most hehehe). That's 100 bucks every month. Call me an idiot but money is money: you can get it anywhere and its not like its breaking the bank.

CoExist? Do you really cheat on a ratio-free tracker? :unsure:

Why would I do that? It's very nice from you to financially support the trackers you like. :gsmile:

At least where music is concerned, most of it isn't worth five bucks. That's one reason I stopped purchasing CDs. I got really tired of paying $15+ dollars for a CD with only one or two good songs.

So, if bread starts tasting a bit worse than it does today, it's okay to steal that too? Could have just bought those two songs on iTunes store or some other service if that's your argument :lol:
Just donated to TehConnection,i think everyone of us should donate sometimes it's not that much amount.Especially we Cheaters :) Tracker deserve that much,They're not gonna getting rich by your 5-10 euros come'on,host costs,servers etc.They deserve it no need to argue about it.
I live in one of that devoloping countries ,impossible to buy any original game or blu-ray disc,they served them to me for free in last 6 years,now it's my turn as a cheater this is the best support i can do.
Especially,
PTP and Waffles are currently need your support,they have paypal issue right now.
i agree with vuze, i would definetely donate every once in a while to support, but i cant. banks are a pain in the ass over here.
if i will donate to some website i think it's TD and BG and maybe IPT noway i will donate to BCG or TL
all about respect :D I didn't love the staff at BCG or TL
pretty sure we didnt love you either
PS: I dont have a clue who the hell you are/were on BCG btw.

PS: I dont have a clue who the hell you are/were on BCG btw.
Oh , I didn't notice you are here :D , I will tell you about every thing , And you tell me, What would you say if you were me ?
When BCG open the registration. I parked my account by accident and i thought it's because i opened the website while Hotspot Shield was running so i went to the IRC and asked about what happened to my account some one i don't remember his name was saying to me tell the truth like i was doing some thing wrong or i was lying on him after that i went to the staff and asked them about this i gust find my account disabled
So is this the way you treated the new members ?If yes i think after all you won't gain anything and most of the members will go after a while . It's not the only games tracker after all

i probably might whenever i actually go legit, buy a seedbox or something, but until then i don't see the point. if i get caught and my account get disabled then i will lose the donation benefits so i dont feel like gambling with really money right now

same for me
So you parked your account by accident, opened HSS, got disabled, went to IRC, and they kicked you, too?
Now, isn't that a coincidence...
I usually donate if its a good tracker, but only like $5-10, I havent donated for VIP status or upload creds or anything as of yet.
What about the security issues about donation? Recently i looked a trackers donation page on paypal, it is about something different, instead of tracker name there is a beauty shop name. Paypal account holder or tracker owner try to protect himself. So users who wants to donate should protect themselves. Because if tracker busted somehow and if they check tracker owners paypal account and if they (RIAA or another) want details from paypal what would happen to donators? Do you remember something about this on OINK case? What happened to donators? My concern is safe or not for donators.
i think with the money better get a seedbox and your ratio will grow up fast.I dont think it's a bed idea to donate but sometimes they dont give u to mouch GB to download for 10-20euros.
actually don't see it like money for upload or anything, if ria infiltrate tracker what would happen to donors? What is law in your country about it? Do you think like "money is mine i spend it whereever i want" ?
For all you know, the torrent tracker is a shell or offshore company trying to exploit donors. What I think of all torrent trackers. I don't donate, no harm done.
never donated and i cant donate too
we dont have any online payment service
even paypal
reatrdness :\
Until now I just have donated once to Demonoid $15+. I know that is the only site that needs some chips ;)

I barely have enough money to keep the internet connection running let alone donating to trackers. Sure, it's a decent thing to support them if they help you but sometimes you just don't have the possibility.
Yes, only to ebooks/video tutorial trackers. Non entertainment stuff seems to die quickly on public p2p.
SaintShaolin
26.03.11, 02:43
So far, NO. But I've been wondering for a long time now if I should donate to private trackers.
Like marcust, I appreciate elearning trackers.
But I'm not sure to which I should to donate to: BitMe, BitSpyder, or TheGeeks.
I'd like to donate to BitSpyder, but content lately seems rare few.
There are more updates in BitMe. Hmmm.
i would dontae myself, spare the need to cheat ..but we dont have paypal where i live so guess that's that

Unless I used a site a lot and liked the community there, I wouldn't donate my hard earned monies.
Nope. The whole reason I'm using BitTorrent is because I'm trying to save money. Besides, there's enough competition around (especially among the general/0day trackers) so when one of them dies, several other are born. I guess some good niche trackers would deserve support but I can't afford the luxury of giving it.

I feel ya, most people who are rich/comfortably living aren't into the whole downloading scene unless they're tech geeks... affluent people I know simply go and pick-up the blu-ray/dvd from an entertainment store. Whereas I'll load up a torrent tracker and hit something on the download... ocassionally paying for new hard-drives. Doing it digitally is more cost effective and takes up less space in your house!
Nope. Even if I did have the money I still wouldn't.
You don't know where the money really goes.
If I had too much money then maybe I would donate. Maybe!
Doing it digitally is more cost effective and takes up less space in your house!
That's just because you're stealing the content rather than paying for it. Of course it will be more cost effective.
I do realize the irony of this post on a torrent forum, but let's all just be adults and admit we're stealing in grand mass here. Of course, I'm no saint either and haven't actually bought a movie in ages. In my case, this is mainly because I watch a movie once and then it will take me over a year to watch it again. I realise that's a weak excuse, but whatever... The ones I actually watch more often, I have bought, believe it or not.
I find it funny, though, to see this evolution throughout people. Everyone would agree that stealing bread is wrong, but stealing content is a-okay :lol: Stealing a movie from a store would probably be seen wrong in many peoples' eyes as well, while downloading the same one would be okay. Other than the cost off the disc (which is probably almost nothing) it's more or less the same thing, in the end :P Oh well, change of times ;)

But you deprive others from accessing the disc, and the store must restock it, and that shit.

No, I'll never pay for tracker ;)

I donated to the tracker for following reasoning
1. For Invite :- FTN GFT MVIDS SCC SCT(RIP)
2. For Inactivity Immunity :- PTP BTN
3. For gigs :- BMTV
4. For Star :- May be never........

Those are both lovely excuses, but like I said, it's still stealing. Instead of ripping off the local store owner, you're stealing directly from the big companies. True, you're not depriving someone else of buying that disc, but you still have something others pay for and you have not.
"The pirate is not taking the original" is the short-sighted view of what is going on. What really is going on, is that the pirate is not screwing over the local store, but also not paying for something that (s)he might have potentially bought at some point, but now won't because (s)he already has a copy of it.
I'm not trying to be a hypocrite, but let's all just admit what we are doing here, mmmkay? Or does it make you sleep better at night by calling it something else? :lol:
That being said, though, I think a lot of the bullshit that is being released recently isn't even worthy of buying :P
4. For Star :- May be never........
I got a star somewhere without paying a single dime. Beat that! :whooray:
I'm not trying to be a hypocrite, but let's all just admit what we are doing here, mmmkay?
What do you think I meant with "that shit"? I know what I'm doing isn't good. :wtongue:
I do agree that most of the stuff these days isn't worth buying, however. Nowadays, 95% of what I download are old movies or albums. If I couldn't pirate, I'd probably be using Grooveshark and hoping one of the movies I want airs on TV. :idunno:

+1.
It does comfort my conciousness somewhat knowing for sure I wouldn't be buying most of the stuff I'm downloading at all. Most of the things I download these days are tv-shows because it takes half a year to a full year before they air here. If downloading was not an option, I would probably be watching more tv now and buying the same amount of stuff as I do now. Result: spending the same amount of money either way :lol:

When the third season of Dexter was close to ending in the US, we were just beginning the second one here. My TV set has been mostly collecting dust ever since I started downloading shows.

Yeah there is no point in cable tv subscription packages at all when you can download releases from america via the internet. I guess if u watch a lot of shows from ur own country that u cant find on the net though, then there might be a point. Usually EVERYTHING can be found on the net if you know where to look though :P

That's not really the point we're (or at least I am) making though, the problem is that non-american countries are usually almost a year behind on the good shows. If they were not, I would gladly watch them on tv, pay for my subscription (which I will do anyway) and not pirate them.
I never donated,and even I would not because I could not use PayPal or bank account other than.
i always donate some amount of money to help trackers running and providing us with their best services. I have donated so far :
-20 $ at THC
-15$ at BG
-30$ at TL
and maybe ill donate more to other trackers in the near future.

I donate. These people usually dont make too much profit, and server costs are massive. Paying 100 dollars or whatever is not much, the things i get from these guys is worth much more than 100 dollars.
Worth it.

Yes ofcourse it's worth it, But It also depends on the site, like I'd never donate to HDT for example, imo its the only reason they have that site is to make money.
And let's not forget there are some great sites that survive and don't even take donations, like AHD for example.
I donate to BTN and Bitgamer my two favorite tracker

I agree, I didnt mean donate to all trackers that ask for them. There are ads and promotions etc that keep them all afloat, but sometimes the donator advantages are great too. Donate to a site you think deserves it obviously. Lets not forget piracy is supposed to be free ;)

Do you donate money to trackers ..for some help??
What is your opinion its a good idea to donate for grow up the trackers??
Its obviously a good idea to donate to those trackers that spend the money in the development of the site (which is most well-known trackers imo). I haven't donated yet because I didn't have any money in my Paypal account. When I do get some money, I'll first buy a couple of invites to trackers that I've been wanting to get in for a really long time.
