Old thread: Not sure what private trackers are all about?
The mission of /ptg/ is to promote the highest possible standards of tracker service by providing members with opportunities for professional development, by recognizing technical competence through examinations and by advancing the interests of its members.
Remember the following: >Staff occasionally read these generals and have posted here before. >This is a thread for educational purposes only don't offer or ask for invites. >Staff may pretend to be normal users asking for invites and when you invite them, they ban you for inviting strangers >People may report emails and other personal info posted here to staff to get you banned.
Can someone please explain to me how not having bonus points makes any sense?

Elijah Parker
its called ratiocucking
Lucas Collins
I remember when I tried cheating once and accidentally set the upload of my torrent (TV show I think) to be few TB and I told the same thing to my tracket's Sysop to avoid getting banned >mfw he believed it
David Brooks
nah i'm american, i figured mail.ru was a good provider (it is)
Xavier Reyes
And why is this desirable?

The scarcity of ratio incentivizes long-term seeding as well.

PTH Torrents: 50,263
Xanax Torrents: 57,979
PTH is about to catch up in a hour or two. Pic related is the stats three hours ago.

no, you're not

Hi partners. I'm a xanax user and I am here because someone named /ptg/ in xanax forums. I'm here to share with you. I love music in the FLAC format, I converted all my mp3s to the FLAC format and I uploaded to xanax because I like to share with my friends.
I hear there is a group of cheaters called PTH. I hope xanax admins ban them.
Dylan Cox

>good provider (it is) Its considered a joke even among russians, lul.
Samuel Price
But it also cripples the proliferation of files. Everyone either seedboxes shit for buffer or waits until freeleech to get shit.
Brandon Young
My dad works for pth and they said if you don't upload 5 torrents a day you will be automatically disabled.
Colton Morgan
Seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeds
Ryder Butler
What.cd elite user here.
What is this new PTH shit?
Where do they accept invite requests?
Nathaniel Nguyen
I don't get it why people compare torrent numbers, should the compare FLAC releases?
Hudson Long
People who are short of ratio are forced to either buy seedboxes improving swarm speed or to buy music to upload/fill requests. This results in constant new music.

>the city of Xanax
To explain, on IRC I read, some guy found their private tracker is actually not so private as it uses http only. Then xanax devs/admins came in and defended, saying their tracker is "redirecting to https", like its an obvious security fix. The dude told them, there is nothing stopping someone from MITM the initial http and fuckin over their users, for whatever reason. Then they claimed, their users should anyway enter "https" as announce url, and completely ignore whats given to copy-paste in their user interface. REAL opsec would disable http and thats it. A private tracker running anything in cleartext? ffs, is this 2003?
Adam Gray
There are invite threads on most major trackers.
Carter Taylor
not really a fair comparison atm because xcurryx has no logchecker so their "perfect" FLACS are Web and Vinyl only.
Matthew Anderson
Its shit
Carter Ramirez
idk man, i've only had good results with it. i like looking through mail providers though so maybe i'll look into a cleaner one soon
Parker Jones
Welcome, what is your name on Xanax?
Luke Ross
weak, dogo argentino, eat more papaya to improve humor rating
Tyler Flores
How are those ratios user?
Dylan Lee
i'm just saying you shouldn't post information about yourself here unless you want the cabal to watch you and your offspring for generations
Andrew Parker
PTN is 1/7 the size of xanax with 1/2 the seeds. i think it's doing p ok
Robert Wilson
gib pth invites pls
Matthew Perry
Old What user here, have around 2k stopped torrents. Can someone hook me up with xnx invite, and a link to tutorial how can I batch convert torrents?
Isaac Perez
I never bothered uploading new music as I knew I'd only get a 1:1 return for file size, as soon as timmy seedbox gets it, his connection is so much better than no one leeches from me. It's the exact opposite for me.
Justin Allen
i'm actually quite friendly with both the BTN and PTP staff (been on both trackers for ~2 years now) so i think i'll manage, but i appreciate you looking out man
Hunter Jones
where can i beg for invites on irc? i have a lot of shit ready for pth
Henry Richardson
>tfw private trackers are truly private
Anthony Murphy
There were plenty of idiots on WCD who dropped money on buying requests.
Jayden Roberts
>time to go to bed >hey remember this moment you regret that fills you with cringe and regret lol so what should I pirate to help me sleep?

Adam Scott
I'm at about the 200 gig mark too.
Ryan Young
So basically it comes down to "pay for a seedbox, or pay for requests".
At that point, why don't I just fucking buy the music?
Robert Howard
i spent $70 just days before site went down
Blake Baker
>tfw pth is just recreating wcd 's economy for late comers oh well, at least I have a few exclusives that were unsnatched on what :o/
Easton Wilson
570 gbs for me now, 5 dollar seedbox
>under budget >ahead of schedule
Elijah Reed
Congratulations, user, you've won.
Now that you've figured it out you don't have to worry about torrents anymore.
Feels good, doesn't it?
Thomas Powell
No you idiot. You were only supposed to seed the freeleeches since that gave plenty of buffer with zero effort.
Jonathan Smith
if you were that friendly with their staff, you wouldn't be asking for invites on /ptg/
Noah Foster
because you buy one album and can leech 100 moron
Mason Edwards
Can you get banned from any tracker if they know you post in /ptg/?
Ayden Stewart
yes
Nolan Gonzalez
if it's a shitty tracker (read: cabal), yes.
Lucas Garcia
What's your email?
Charles Hughes
Am I the only one that hasn't requested an invite to PTH because of the 'by requesting an invite you are commiting to building the torrent base'. I have no music on my PC and would feel really douchy to join to just pump and dump for ratio during freeleech.
David Ortiz
give me an invite or i will go to your house and slit your throat
Colton Davis
that's probably what everyone on here is doing desu
Charles Diaz
What about HDBits, BTN, PTP? Those are the trackers I mostly use.
>They KNEW in advance that people would start to whore on the boxsets like crazy. PTH recruited from the Elite user classes. Of course they knew what was going to happen. Friends help to make friends rich.
Ryan Wood
Listen here, coon
i want a fucking invte
WHO IS FUCKIGN COCK DO I ABE TO FUCKS ING SUCK
Bentley Brooks
they won't ban you
but every time you ask them something, they will check your profile
every time you make a mistake, they will check your profile
every time you're in the wrong place at the wrong time, they will check your profile
and they will see a note an autistic staff member left 3 years ago that says "ptg scum"
and they will treat you differently
Michael White
lol nice virtue signaling
but no some of us here have an ok amount of torrents (~500), begging for invites is just fucking lame lmfao
Nicholas White
how to install Project Gazelle?
Thomas Brooks
>Elite user classes omg, just stop with this pretentious bull, you sound like a girl proud of her first tampons
