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

Just how bad is the quality control situation at Apooloo?
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.
Josiah Bennett
Another good example of something they're not nearly organized enough to setup.
Gabriel Bell
freeleech on apooinloo is over, should I delete the jazz/classical compilations that i'll never listen to
Christopher Gonzalez
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
Angel Russell

>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

Don't forget to run a deep check on that shit for errors first.
Isaiah Davis
$309 -> ~$320 with tax but my mom bought it for me :3
Jack Wood
Guys I think we should leave demonotaku alone.. he has had enough. Let's just go back to discussing regular torrenting things here ok?
Hunter Reyes
..not in the US?
Did you buy an RD Red or something? 8TB archive/external are around $220
Jayden Morris
LETS RIPPING
Cooper Morales
yeah a red lol im not gonna buy some shit drive M8
Blake Russell
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.
Ryan Rogers
t. Demonotaku
Adam Hall
Is Apoolo cabal?
Gavin Smith
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.
John Cooper
>people still shilling for PTH
Levi Lee
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.
Nicholas Lewis
What does cabal mean?
LOL sorry, new here guys!
Asher Robinson
hahahaha xD i don't even know. i just wanna leech, amirite!!
Jeremiah Moore
>not enough SATA ports on my motherboard to do this
why even live

Hell yeah bro, I love you!

Christian Edwards
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
Henry Diaz
>arthouse/indie These aren't kino. These are trash.
Tyler Rogers
What are the current PTH stats? Pic is current Apoolo
Asher Foster
>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.
Zachary Fisher
That would have been fine if they had the manpower to manage the influx of users.
Nolan Russell
twice as many torrents double the perfect flacs 6.5k users
Nicholas Ward
No, failing to hire moderation immediately, failing to enforce strict upload and forum discipline, failing to fix log checker for 10 days straight.
Joseph Wilson
Heh, I chuckled. Sent you the invite, man. Check your inbox/spam folder.
Enjoy!
David Moore
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.
Julian Reed
Didn't they just give 5 invites to each user? Users have only gone up by 1k+-
Nolan Torres
*five times the perfect flacs
Jackson Edwards
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?
Wyatt Roberts
>he never actually drank Perignon >recommending champagne at a price point where literally any cremant is better
Plese leave.
Matthew Gomez
MAKE AB GREAT AS WHAT.CED EDITION
Jaxson Jones
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.
Tyler Thomas
How come not Tolkien?
Kevin Ramirez
name one thing not available on PTP that is elsewhere.
Henry Davis
How do I get in PTH? Can an old wcd account works? Is there an IRC interview anywhere?
Jaxon Johnson
Soo, nothing to do with the security, tracker or invite system but inconsequential shit like forum mods? lel
Brody Garcia
>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.
Michael Flores
not him. the community is mental. for example, 239 topics and 3,591 posts in Suggestions alone.
Jack Moore
Kek, anybody remember that thread on What where the guys planned how to get those salinger books ripped?
John Ramirez
I have a guitar and a voice. What stops me from producing my own shitty but actual music and uploading that on bandcamp?
Daniel Jones
Litigious estate.
Lincoln Lopez
finance bro?
James Ward
Is that a torrent client? Just recommend it in the "Torrent Client Whitelist" thread and we'll take a look.
Charles Gonzalez
Finally got on PtH this morning. God damn I feel like Internet royalty now.
