first for what seedbox do i cuck myself into

first for AB is cabal

>no news

First for PassThePoopcorn

feral :^)

For /pyramiding/ and ratio whoring, I'd say seedhost.eu or bytesized. For longterm seeding from a large base, cloudboxie. In general, I think bytesized is one of the better options, and Feral whenever they put their boxes back on the market.

seedmeme.eu

FUCK YOU

seedhost.eu is bad? in what ways user

no seedhost is great, but it's also a meme. Just because something is a meme doesn't mean its bad.

It's definitely not bad. General consensus is that their peering tends to be very good.

what's the meme part about it

the fact it's constantly memed on ptg and reddit

feral did nothing wrong

freeleech on UGC

I should have explained my last post better.

Does anyone have a way to scrape Spotify files directly from the site *for Spotify Exclusives* for the sake of uploading them to private trackers?

why is the sight always down!

Are there any good trackers for emulators? Like PS2 roms?
I really get tired of Emuparadise's shit.

Where can I audition for AOM?

GGn or rutracker

what's the best path to BTN rn?

emuparadise is BAE

wtf is wrong with you?

go on their IRC and ask

PTP PU

lol doesn't sound like a good idea

best path to PTP then?

>best path to PTP
BTN PU

I know for sure you can do this with google play and gmusicproxy. With Spotify though, I'm not sure. I can't remember the reason why, but I'm pretty sure you can't do 1:1 rips from Spotify.

>best path to PTP then?

bug semonontacos on irc!

I guess I just hate the constant donation begging and "SUBSCRIBE TO OUR ILLEGAL REPOSITORY PLEASE FOR FASTEST SPEEDS NO 30 SECOND CAP"

I'll look into GGn, I see applications are closed atm, thanks tho still.

Ok... best path to BTN other than PTP?

hook shit op

PTH best 2016 albums official rankings when

Elite on WCD. Thats how I got in.

you forgot your image

Spotify streams to .ogg which isn't allowed on Apollo or PTH. Anything that converts ogg to mp3 is a transcode.

buy an account

Just for the record, BTN has closed recruiting from PTP. Based on previous trends, they probably won't reopen for months, and when they do, it will probably only be for a few weeks.

PTP does not recruit from BTN, nor anywhere else except maybe HDB. Only confirmed path to HDB right now is through BIB, and there are no known paths to BIB as of now. But they will probably resume recruitment sometime within the next couple of months....

Basically, if you're not already on at least one cabal tracker (HDB, BTN, PTP, BIB) you probably won't get into any of them for a while.

Can anyone tell me about their PTH interview?

interview.passtheheadphones.me/

I thought UGC recruited on MAM, but I just looked a bit ago and I guess they don't anymore. You can maybe get a ggn invite on the unofficial invite forum there, just subscribe to the thread so you get a notification. They also officially invite to apollo

Is MTV officially the most /comfy/ tracker out there?

Without a doubt. But, due to ratioless, you can shove your requests up your ass.

Does this look like a safe filename for a pdf? I found it on libgen.io, but it wasn't on .me. Should I download it from a vpn to protect myself?

Why is PTP associated with this woman? Inb4 technologically illiterate

>sight

>admiral ackbar.gif

>Does this look like a safe filename for a pdf?
It's named with a hash of the file you retard

What the fuck does that mean?

>Sup Forums - technology

kill yourself

Hashing is a way of rolling up a file into something more manageable but unique. Like a properly rolled blunt, a hash is brief, but distinctive.

What the fuck do you mean "a safe filename"?
If the EXTENSION is fucking .exe or something stupid, it's not safe.
Even if it was just a normally named PDF they could use and exploit to infect you anyway.

When I google it it takes me to some guccicheapsale website. Also I usually see normal filenames and not a hash.

Well what do I do? Just go for it? Am I going to lose my 3tb seeding size?

I mean, it's plausible. Stuxnet for instance exploited lnk files in explorer; you didn't even need to run anything.

hook

shit

>Well what do I do?
open it in a virtualbox and see what happens

whats a good film tracker that isnt afraid to put up screeners? I am about finished with PTP

IPT

How do I know that the person who uploaded the torrent didn't just put in a hash file for their malware pretending it's the hash file for the pdf?

You could, but I wouldn't recommend, set your speakers as a Microphone (inside of windows) and then use Audacity or something similar to record the "mic" input.

I would not suggest this as I am sure it would be all kinds of transcoded, but it would do the job

Teh, maybe? AR has decent screeners but it's not movie focused

Call a cell phone. play the song through the computer's speakers, recording it in the phone. Once the song is over, check the phone's voicemail. Export the voicemail audio to your computer, and transcode it to ALAC. Then it is ready for upload.

The person who uploaded it didn't do shit. The hash is generated by the library genesis backend and it's how files are stored in the libgen system. Some frontends send a header when you download to tell your browser to name the file differently.

It doesn't matter either way. Set the extension to pdf and open it in a sandboxed pdf reader

so i guess apollo is fucking dead

LET'S RIPPING

AB is cabal!!!!!!!!

Yup.

FBI shot the admin in his room, he was an unarmed black man who just go this GED and was planning on going to community college.

There's going to be consequences for this...

i wish they had a proton theme.

TORRENT FILES MATTER XD

big boss kapur wil rape ur ass if u get caught bro

sarek is that u?

>user's Phone connected to Guest Network

They'll never know it's you.

Are you torrenting on a tracker without a ratio? You could ghostleech off of unsecured seedboxes, I guess

More like android-243b954ab0aecd2 has connected

i find it more entertaining to utterly annihilate the ratio of those with open seedboxes. got someone banned from ptp just a couple weeks ago. :^)

That would really only apply if he worked for a very small company and/or had a very unique name

port it desu

Apollo seems to be back from maintenance with possibly an upcoming new default stylesheet (Apollo Mat).

it took them an hour to deploy a stylesheet?

that stupid. i use currybazel dark and is best theme ever

I'm guessing it was just an hour of general maintenance. If you look at the log a lot of artists and torrents have been pruned too.

Just use kuro, plebs.

What's the point when postmod is objectively the best stylesheet?

>he doesn't play the song through amplified Logitech speakers in a room where he's making a clay vase on a pottery wheel, cure the vase in a kiln, then use a scanning electron microscope to detect perturbations on the surface of the finished vase and convert the pattern into a waveform that can be played back as music, then upload that as FLAC to PTH

So which site will come out on top: PTH or APL?

APL 4 Life

PTH will become the new What. APL will become the new Waffles. Waffles will become the next dead tracker.

I don't think we'll actually know for at least six months. So far, each has things above the other.

But if PTH does some kind of 24 hour freeleech event, APL is finished.
