I miss Stop The Presses.

>beathau5
>mutracker

rest in pieces friends :(

between apl and pth, which site has more sissy hypno flac

Yeah, STP and BH5 are the trackers I'll miss the most
>tfw

>tfw spending 2TB on requests on Apollo and ending up on ratiowatch.

Demonotaku has a higher ratio then you

daily reminder NEVER to read wiki as it's privately hosted malicious honeypot

if you ever do, rememeber to clear your browser cache, change passwords (if any) stored in browser, reset your router to change ip

How in the FUCK are you supposed to get ratio on MTV?

bh5 had such a great selection of edm, better than what.cd. Shame that it died because it was my goto for my setlist for a while.

not on any tracker that matters : ^ )

no bitching about 500 posts in thread this time

pth crybabbys went away yay

R.I.P. BH5

Hmmm sorry

Demon just texted me


He got in to hdbits

They still have backups of the site, but they didn't try to bring it back up after WCD so I doubt they ever will. Very sad, not only did they have some great & exclusive content but they also had some really good devs there too
You're probably trolling but just in case you didn't know, MTV is ratioless

don't you even joke about shit like that

how about crybabbys from both trackers? Arab / t. Nala spammer is pure cancer and are pajeet spammers

I'm not

So I was being paranoid of ruining my ratio this entire time?

Well I guess it's about time to fucking kill myself!

Don't worry

Ptg will do that for you

No new PTH FL. The ratio cuckoldry continues.

Here's to hoping they bring it back one day. I really loved that tracker.

Go upload something that people want you fuck.

Yep this is from the same tracker that let demonotaku on then discontinued invites on that tracker

t. nala

APL has 89 snatches per user.

PTH has 72 snatches per user.

APL has had freeleech for most of the sites existence.

What ratio cuckoldry you talking about m8.

>tfw MTV interview was so easy even a retard could pass and the staff is comfy and the forums are welcoming

>pth
>downloading

see the light, lads

No bonus points system
No free leech
We pay hackers with your donations

T. Nala aka Zed

WHY THE FUCK IS SAREK ON PTH

PTH has way less users so it's fucking pathetic they don't have more snatches per user.

AYy my dudes
How long does it normally take for the MTV invite email to come?

How much cock did you blow

I might was well end it... Wait, who is this demonotaku you are talking about? Never heard of it.

Check your spam folder. It looks like their email server is blacklisted.

Gave up on his tracker lel

PTH didn't have a month long global freeleech.

>proof

seriously why does no one understand this

it's a joke folks

What's your email? We'll check up on it
--MTV staff

About to take the PTH interview, anything I should know?

About five or six my dude

they're going to ask about different ypes of crry and if your name is ranjit

Vorbis always trumps flac
MP3_320 trumps v0
v0 trumps flac

Good luck

There's a PTH interview?

they need the second user, to boost the economy

Need 29 in a hour to get a invite try again next year

What is in it for the people that run private trackers?

Is it the leet hacker status or the fact they get so much free >>quality

>PTH didn't have a month long global freeleech.
t. jelly pth user with 0.3 ratio

t. nala

Donation money

yes, but you have to be pu+ on thepiratebay

How to lick lion snatch

>Plus, why not just use a VPN and public trackers?

Because we're autistic and the quality of stuff we like isn't readily available (if at all) on public trackers.

Tracker staff usually do it for the same reasons people run gaming servers and communities that don't make a profit. Just for fun and being part of something bigger.

Well, some people really love running communities. I'm one of those people. I love running forums, IRC networks, and obviously sharing digital content. There's not a lot of risk as long as you're not a fuckhuge TV tracker with zero opsec.

Oh, and being able to download everything without anyone knowing and having zero consequences.

If you run a tracker though, you should have stuff to upload initially.

>failed the desi.cd interview
I can't even name all the states. How the fuck am I supposed to know where "Hyderabad" is

sweet donation shekels, ever wondered why pth staff is so hellbent on destroying the competition

Same shit that's in it for Hiroshima on Sup Forums. Money.
They tell everyone the servers will go down if people don't donate. Some are actually stupid enough to do it.

t. sbi user

Donation money, rewarding sysop side project. What.cd sysops probably ran off with thousands after what.cd was shutdown.

I have a ~10.0 ratio and close to the same buffer on both trackers but okay.

kek

>What is in it for the people that run private trackers?
Elitist, a challenge, philosophy, frustration at lack of available content, any number of things. This is a hobby.

>Is it the leet hacker status or the fact they get so much free >>qualitySeems like a big risk to take for a lot of downsides if caught. I know some of them sell your information and all that, but what about the legitimate ones? Plus, why not just use a VPN and public trackers?
It's a risk, sure. But you can mitigate the threats pretty easily.

cute hamster user! :)

>This is a hobby.
t. unemployed hobbo whose portfolio are thepiratbay and pth

>upload 250 torrents
>no snatches on an

why is pth so hook?

i'm glad i'm on apl as well!

PrivateHD and APL plus two more niche trackers
/setforlyfe/ on both
i don't really give a flying fuck who "wins" between those two i have all the content i need and likely will need for the foreseeable future

>hamster

Pretty much this.

Depends on what you've uploaded but I'm getting a decent amount of snatches on mine.

Bought a PTH invite eariler this morning and I'm still not seeing it in my inbox

>5. What relese would you choose Scene or P2P ?
Is the answer P2P because of typically superior quality? This question is pretty vague to me

user! Do you not know what a hamster looks like? :O

The answer is Scene because you respect tradition and the chain of command

SCENE

Honestly this shitty question is so confusing I can't tell if this is bait

something like your mom

no silly, looks like that photo you posted. :)

Do you have to post this every thread?

This is the first time I have posted help for this question and I really have no fuckin clue about it

I understand the terms but I'm not quite sure which one they are looking for.

>tfw HDB internal of Korean kino is here

Busanhaeng 2016 720p BluRay DD5.1 x264-DON

i havent posted any photo

for reference, i've never gotten in the door anywhere because i refuse to drop vpn

but here's my take

1. scene has been around 20-30 years and has a LONG tradition of quality. it has been a trustworthy source of rules and trumping ("proper" in scene terms) for a very long time. if we're talking "am i on a public tracker looking for something?" then give me the scene copy all day every day.

if i'm on hdbits and it's that or a scene 1080p? no question, lay that hdbits on me brother

So far I have

>has a LONG tradition of quality
no, they have a tradition of speed
that's it

APL
PTH if you can provide proof of WCD membership

do you have proof of your WCD membership? browser cache, browser history, etc.

if you don't have anything you're stuck with apollo, go to their IRC with some indian food and they will let you in

apollo is going to open recruitment tomorrow
irc.apollo.rip
#recruitment

if you have WCD proof *now*, see this reddit post. this is confirmed sysop of APL.

>pth staff detected

apollo.rip/log.php?search=transcode

Reminder that APL has over 434,000 torrents and only 177 deletions for being transcodes.

only the best youtube rippings on apollo

I thought MTV was closed?

Proof that the quality control problem on APL isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be.,

DELETE THIS

Honestly, there's no real way to know. It could be over or under reported and the number of reports the staff has tackled is unknown as well.

your journey has just begun, user

the end goal is PTP, BTN, and HDB

>apollo.rip/log.php?search=transcode
apollo.rip/log.php?search=deleted by

shows latest @ 6 hours, but if you watch the log live you'll see plenty of deletions

point is: don't trust that search

This is the "Various Artists" artist on APL. They still haven't disabled people using "Various Artists" as the artist name.

This is why people with APL has a QC issue.

they're open until some time soonish

opentrackers.org has the irc
