9/11 was done by PTH staff

there are some albums missing on PTG that i have,
what's the script in uploading them myself?

I've been a prolific torrent user for many years now, but with the shutdown of What I'm beginning to rethink my involvement in torrents altogether.

I recently signed up for Apple Music and I have to say that I really like it. I exclusively downloaded FLAC content from What, but I have to admit that I can't hear a difference in the 256kbps files from iTunes. And with very few exceptions, I can find everything I want from iTunes/Apple Music. I also really like how fast I can start listening to a new album by just looking it up in iTunes, instead of waiting for a torrent to download. The biggest issue is that I won't be owning my new music anymore. But let's be honest . . . the future of music distribution is streaming. Like it or not, that's what the kids prefer and it's only going to get more widespread.

As for movies, I'm a netflix user so there is tons of content there to watch. If I want to see something specific I can just rent it from iTunes. I'm not wealthy by any stretch of the imagination, but I make enough that I can afford the occasional rental. I rarely keep movies in my library as I generally don't watch movies multiple times, so renting works just fine for me.

My biggest hesitation is TV and software. I prefer on-demand watching of my shows and unlike movies I can't afford to purchase all my shows from iTunes. However, my wife and I are big fans of Game of Thrones and we ended up subscribing to HBO Now during that season so we could watch it right away, instead of waiting for the torrent to show up the next day. It was really convenient, and if I made more money I would totally love a premium cable package with a DVR setup.

What do you think? Ever consider going completely legit and leaving torrents behind?

/ptg/ isn't a torrent tracker, dummy

btn on ahd when?

>falling for X's trap to /mark/ people

Well, you're 95% set with streaming+bandcamp+soundcloud. There's still some stuff you can only find on BT, so I keep an account for obscurities.

For films, there's no reason to believe Netflix or any other streaming service will be able to compete with any mid-tier torrent tracker anytime soon. The amount of content is incomparably small even in the US, let alone outside. Exclusive content, market fragmentation and copyright are not going anywhere for decades, so torrenting is the way to go. Not to mention that if you're not a superhero flick tier popcorn tard, but a proper kino patritian, then there's virtually no way around Karagarga/Cinemageddon/Cinemaz.

Another good example of something they're not nearly organized enough to setup.

freeleech on apooinloo is over, should I delete the jazz/classical compilations that i'll never listen to

I really can't be assed to browse through all the 2000 posts in the " What.CD alternatives " thread on PTP to find out what PTH stands for. One thing clear is that there's no official recruitement there yet

>Global freeleech is on!
>'ll be doing a sitewide freeleech for a week!

What the fuck? They said it'd go for a week.

i asked you a question faggots

Idiot.

...

yeah, you're totally right user. what can a guy do, eh?

oh shit, thought it lasted for 2 days. nevermind

never mind i found a better source than your shitty thread news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12981736

Should I even bother getting into BTN if im on MTV. Its so good already.

>kino patrician
>requiring more than PtP

I don't watch child porn mate. No need for obscure sites.
And then, I mostly need PtP for my foreign film desires. So stream music + netflix films + netflix tv + PtP is sufficient

GUYS MY 8TB DRIVE JUST CAME IN THE MAIL XDXDXD LETS START RIPPING

let's stop these petty arguments, friends. us

>LETS START RIPPING
Its LETS RIP or LETS RIPPING, newfag.

nice. how much did it cost user?

>Currymaster54
>LetsRipping

never forget

Don't forget to run a deep check on that shit for errors first.

$309 -> ~$320 with tax but my mom bought it for me :3

Guys I think we should leave demonotaku alone.. he has had enough. Let's just go back to discussing regular torrenting things here ok?

..not in the US?

Did you buy an RD Red or something? 8TB archive/external are around $220

LETS RIPPING

yeah a red lol im not gonna buy some shit drive M8

Lucky.

There's a guy with two 4TBs on my Craigslist for $90 each. I wonder what he'll go down to. With a 5TB being $99 at Fry's I can't see paying $90 for 4, even if they're Reds.

Is Apoolo cabal?

PTP is incomparable to sites mentioned in respect to rare/classic/arthouse/indie/foreign movies. Insults towards some of oldest and best trackers out there just further confirm your status as an ignorant pleb, in which case yes, by all means stick to Netflix and PTP.

>people still shilling for PTH

So far with its missteps it would take it about 3 years to recover to cabal status, *if* it took all the appropriate actions somehow.

What does cabal mean?

LOL sorry, new here guys!

hahahaha xD i don't even know. i just wanna leech, amirite!!

>not enough SATA ports on my motherboard to do this

why even live

Hell yeah bro, I love you!

>its missteps
what missteps? Actually taking in members and torrents?

don't beat yourself up over it, dom perignon is not that good
it's just expensive

do yourself a favour and buy ~12€ bottles from small vine owners who don't mix up their grapes with others
especially the ones highlighted on this map

>arthouse/indie
These aren't kino. These are trash.

What are the current PTH stats? Pic is current Apoolo

>respect to rare/classic/arthouse/indie/foreign movies

No it's not those all end up on ptp. If ptp wanted they could just have a KG movie upload contest and wipe out that tracker in a month.

That would have been fine if they had the manpower to manage the influx of users.

twice as many torrents
double the perfect flacs
6.5k users

No, failing to hire moderation immediately, failing to enforce strict upload and forum discipline, failing to fix log checker for 10 days straight.

Heh, I chuckled. Sent you the invite, man. Check your inbox/spam folder.

Enjoy!

Don't know if this has been posted/commented on yet, but that last items seems specifically directed at people like that one user who posted about how he sold his buffer by requesting his bandcamp releases and also uploaded a 221 GiB 3-month-long album of reprocessed train noises taken from youtube. In a way, you've helped PtH, user.

Didn't they just give 5 invites to each user? Users have only gone up by 1k+-

*five times the perfect flacs

Yeah but how is the community? It's all well and good to have the brain of the operation but without the heart and soul is it really a worthy what.cd successor?

>he never actually drank Perignon
>recommending champagne at a price point where literally any cremant is better

Plese leave.

MAKE AB GREAT AS WHAT.CED EDITION

Thanks for the informative post.
I know little about champagne, just that I 'wasted' $5000 (price of bottle).

Glad to know I could drink better for cheap.

How come not Tolkien?

name one thing not available on PTP that is elsewhere.

How do I get in PTH? Can an old wcd account works? Is there an IRC interview anywhere?

Soo, nothing to do with the security, tracker or invite system but inconsequential shit like forum mods? lel

>If ptp wanted they could just have a KG movie upload contest and wipe out that tracker in a month
Ah, you should have mentioned you are 12 right away.

not him. the community is mental. for example, 239 topics and 3,591 posts in Suggestions alone.

Kek, anybody remember that thread on What where the guys planned how to get those salinger books ripped?

I have a guitar and a voice. What stops me from producing my own shitty but actual music and uploading that on bandcamp?

Litigious estate.

finance bro?

Is that a torrent client? Just recommend it in the "Torrent Client Whitelist" thread and we'll take a look.

Finally got on PtH this morning. God damn I feel like Internet royalty now.
