[General/0-day] FSC: Funsharing.net | General | February 2014 Exclusive Review

Inviter · February 2, 2014

Tracker Name: FSC or Funsharing

Tracker Genre: General/0-day

Tracker Access: Invite Only

Tracker Type: FSC is one of the best community based trackers. It differentiates itself from most trackers by trying to return the focus to the two most important things which brings us all together, which are having fun and sharing with our friends. Although the tracker is pretty decent, most members will agree that the real appeal of FSC lies within its incredible community, which is very active in the forums. The site prides itself on the fact that no user has ever been banned due to bad ratio, and that every user with a bad ratio got plenty of chances to fix his/her ratio, which probably came along with advice from staff on how to achieve this goal. FSC also has a unique ratio system, which is called a Share Index, which takes into account the user's will to share, rather than focus only on normal upload/download ratio.

The content on the tracker is a mix of your usual 0-day releases, combined with specialized materials (see information about Clubs in Forum).

Invites:

Since FSC is not your average tracker, getting an invite is not as trivial thing. Invites are not handed out automatically, but must be requested by members and handed out individually by staff members. Only advanced users and above may request invites, and having a huge buffer does not automatically warrant success in receiving an invite. While exact details for qualification to receiving invites is not disclosed by staff members, requesting users are expected to be active in the community (post in the forums, write meaningful comments on torrents etc.) to be considered eligble to receive them.

The Share Index System:

The Share Index system is unique to FSC, and was designed to help those that find it hard to seed back enough to maintain a healthy ratio. For each 24 hours of connectivity, members earn a ratio 0.10 for each active torrent. That means that even if no one leeches from a seeder, within 10 days of sharing he will have a ratio of at least 1.0 on that torrent! This special ratio is called a Share Ratio, and is basically a bonus, added to the traditional up/down file ratio.

The Share Ratio is added to the member's file ratio to create a combined ratio, which is called a Share Index. The Share Index is the defacto measure of sharing on the site. If you are partially successful in seeding some data back, the Share Ratio for that torrent will help to boost the file ratio. All this goes into the Share Index.

My Ratings:

Content: 5/5 - Basically it's a General/0-day tracker and it's really amazing for scene stuff.

Speed: 4/5 - Speed is pretty good so far.
