can i have hdbits invite sir, plz.... i am very fast connection and seed always

This meme isn't funny anymore

Give mail address plox

I was told that just being in this thread will make Private Tracker admins mark your account.

I will have an interview on what.cd in like 2 months
How fucked am i?

Are you on any other private trackers and do you click in links leading to private trackers posted on /ptg/?
If not, then there is nothing to worry about.
Besides that, you only should be concerned if you are on PTP since 312cuck is the only one banning people for browsing this general.

What's the difference in burning a CD with and without the CUE?

No user, i am going for the interview to get started on private trackers, and i've read that what.cd is the best for starting,
But i'm not really interested in music but eh, everyone's got to start somewhere

not much if its a multi track download.

So why are you waiting two months? If you're on Sup Forums you should be able to pass the interview with 20 minutes of prep, max.

Then there is nothing to worry about; just pay attention when clicking on links here once you're in a private tracker.

You are fine. You can't be /marked/ unless you are a member of a top tracker.

>admins mark your account
How can they possibly know your nickname?

Essentially, I'm just digitizing all of my physical disks and I want to go the opposite direction for stuff I've downloaded. Most of the music I've downloaded has been from TPB years ago and so I'm wondering if it would be worth it to redownload that stuff in FLAC with cue and 100% log for burning purposes. Or will 320 or V0 do the trick?

I dont currently have a Computer

>What.cd staff picks when
Please wcd staff members.

NICE SUBJECT FIELD FAGGOT

>last picks 1 month ago
>last picks before that 6 months ago
I wouldn't get my hopes up

Don't they only do them twice a year?

Anybody else have problems with loading pages on EMP with Firefox?

Seems to work fine for me, which problems in particular?

better to do multitrack flac then in case of file corruption if you are storing. if not then no real need for the cue file although it might make burning quicker/easier

Why aren't you on a seedbox yet?
>seed literally everything
>no worries about DMCA notices
>costs as much as a Netflix membership

Sometimes, a page won't load at all (totally blank) and I have to refresh like 4-5 times to keep going.

Works On My Machine

Because I'm already /setforlife/ on every tracker, I've never received a notice, and never paid a dime.

I just got a new router specifically for seeding shit, but it's not seeding. I've got a green check mark and it was seeding 1 torrent at ~100kb/s (for a bit), but not any of my other 1000. I got it because it was advertised as a good choice for torrenting. Any ideas at all what I can try before I hang a noose from my ceiling? Model: RT-N56UB1

>typing like that
kill yourself

Only HDBits left.

Why aren't you living in a third world country yet?

It is me who pities you.

>leeching
gtfo

What are the user classes on yourexotic? Can't figure this shit out and checking forums doesn't help.

I made an account on pornbay. Which torrents should I be downloading/seeding to easily move up the ranks?

And what does it take to be inactive? Not downloading anything for weeks, months?

flac with cue and 100% log gets you 1:1 copy of the original when burned to a disc

read the rules

When someone posts a link here to a certain torrent on a private tracker and you check the link out within a plausible timeframe while you're logged in on the respective private tracker, there is a high chance that you came from /ptg/, especially if the torrent is rarely visited.

Example:
>user A posts link to an album on WCD from 2006 which barely anyone checks out anymore
>user B clicks on link within minutes after being posted while logged into WCD
>Admin of WCD sees link on here and checks out who visited the album shortly after the link being posted

Fucking anything. It's porn.

>paying to pirate
>he can't up the ranks easily without relying on a cheatbox

seedboxniggers ruin everything for everybody else

Literally, no one(except 312c) cares though. Just follow the rules of your tracker. Browsing Sup Forums isn't against the rules.

Don't give out or offer or ask for invites; its that fucking simple. I would avoid the IRC though.

That's basically the private tracker's way of profiting without directly relying on donations or demanding payment for accounts. Most people want to download stuff with zero effort so they get a seedbox service which is owned by any of the notable trackers.

True, he's probably just butthurt that people here make fun of that cuck.

Why is rutracker so good? I think it's because it's in russian, which scares away pajeets/burgers, main culprits who shit up every other public tracker.

Nice try 312cuck

i am friends with the guy that originally posted this image, its from a snap from one of his friends.

I'm trying to move to rtorrent + rutorrent but when I try to recheck it doesn't pick up any of the data, 0%. However, if I right click and change the "save to" dir and move the data files at the same time, it moves all the files as well. wtf is going on? permissions issue or something?

>people still mad over seedbox's
Torrent speed and retention on private trackers wouldn't be as good as it is without seedbox users.

if I want to upload a torrent from one private tracker onto another, is there anything I need to change, like the nfo file or something?

For pyramid does it really matter if I'm also grabbing the FLAC even without a huge buffer? Based on ratio rules over at What it seems like as long as I'm 100% seeding then I don't really have to worry about ratio until I hit 30+GB down. And pretty much all the pyramid DL's I've pulled are hitting 1:1+

same here buddy

Can someone cap the simpsons page on BTN?

Depends on the tracker.
At first, make sure the torrent you downloaded isn't marked as exclusive, otherwise you're in trouble if you upload it on another tracker.
Then you must check the upload rules for whatever you want to upload. If the stuff you want to upload doesn't break any rules, upload it, otherwise adapt the stuff.

Where can I watch Swedish dicks in glorious 1080p?

>exclusive
is this a thing?
isn't torrenting about sharing?

It's a thing, but very rare in my experience.
For example, AB has some animes of a certain fansub group that is marked as exclusive, but there are also many more that are not.
It is mainly to make a tracker more attractive.

what a fucking scummy thing to do, how is that different from what netflix is pulling.
>want to watch this? well it's exclusive, so you'll have to pay 6 shekels, goy.

You typically don't have to pay for private trackers, user. In any case its mostly to prevent the spotlight from shining onto private trackers. Let KAT and TPB take all the heat.

Blacked.com

Well, I am not too sure about this but I think the uploader can decide to make it exclusive. So, if you would e.g. go through the trouble of finding a rare CD, upload it to WCD after ripping it yourself and if you like WCD and want to support it, you can make it en exclusive offer. The staff has nothing to do with it as far as I know.

I wonder if somebody has ever downloaded something non-exclusive and uploaded it to another tracker as exclusive. He'd probably be in trouble if he's caught.

I guess you can only offer something as exlusive if you "created" the files yourself; as ripping a CD yourself or scan a book yourself.

Is the what cd interview actually hard?
Im reading the prep site, and it seems like stuff everyone should already know...

Im worried about them throwing a curveball or something

Post your email and i invite you. The interview is fucking dumb.

/marked/

I prove that WCD does not ban me. My username Hunterb

Huntereb*

Reading through the wiki and other stuff has put the fear of god into me. I probably wouldnt even take an invite from my best friend.

I would be too worried about fucking up and getting everyone banned

quit posting gay shit on ab

>I would be too worried about fucking up and getting everyone banned

With that cuck mentality I think you have what it takes to be a successful private tracker member.

Long time member and seeder with a generous ratio on HDB.

feelsgoodman.jpg

The interview is pretty much automated.
If you understand everything from the prep site and don't cheat by having the prep site open while being interviewed, you won't have a problem with succeeding. Make sure you also read and understand the rules of WCD (accepted file formats, trumping, etc.)

what.cd is full of PRENTENTIOUS FUCKS who are full of their FUCKING MEANINGLESS "RULES"

i didn't make the interview, but who the fuck cares... ITS FAKE, its gay, its shit anyway

Trying too hard, I havent taken the interview yet. Gonna study for a few days first

Why isn't this thread on ?

because the board has all the cons of a public tracker and none of the pros of a private tracker

hence the name private tracker general

Learn to read.

Why is a thread about private tracks not on the board dedicated to torrents?

Hi, dear /ptg/
Can someone please MEGA me the FLAC version of this song, I can't happen to find it anywhere. It's on WCD: Alan Walker - Faded.
It's a good song, btw. You won't regret downloading it.

thanks in advance

>falling for the FLAC meme

>falling for the lossy meme

It's not a meme. Just look at the spectograms to see all things the left out in lossy formats.

I could link you to a mp3 to flac transcode and you would not be able to tell the difference without checking the spectrals. It's a fucking meme unless you are an archivist in which kek
>falling for the archive meme

I already have 14tb of stored memes.
It's not a meme if it's the truth.
Archivists will be the most sought-after humans and with highest social status when the free internet era ends and we live in a post-WWIII life.

>forgive engliskee, i am russia

>it's a meme
It's too late to tell me that. I've got a whole disk full of lossless music.

I'm making an app for Pokemon GO players.

It's all the rage right now, so that's where the money are.

Wrong thread, buddy.

If I want to back up my media collection, garnered from private trackers, do I need to encrypt before sending? Does Amazon Drive give a shit?

Put on Merlin firmware. It has better performance. Your router might just be too slow.

New freeleeech torrents. Bigger the better.

better safe than sorry

do you even know how to open ports you faggot? using a RT-n66u here, no problems

It's a meme you dip

I had the prep site open after taking screenshots and passed. How would they know anyway?

Because nobody's posting any torrents

Yes, I opened the ports to utorrent and it says they are open.

I read about Merlin & Padawan, but I don't wanna void my warranty without exploring other options first.

so where's the problem? Do you really think that you'd be seeding all the fucking time? Kek..

Ur famous dude

Yeah, noticed.

I'm positive I would be seeding more, yes. I'm only getting a few kb/s most of the time and it only goes above that for a few seconds. I have 100/100 and 1000 torrents, some have a lot of leechers.

Before it was fine and I was constantly getting upload.

well then you're doing something wrong..as suggested, try the merlin firmware

There are people posting on this general RIGHT NOW that DO NOT have over 1TB buffer on WCD

I have 100GB and I'm pretty much /setforlife/, I only download V0 encodes.

Obviously I am. It's not available for my model. Only Padawan is, but I wanna try other options first.
