Dipping sauce, edition. Previous thread >Not sure what private trackers are all about? The mission of /ptg/ is to promote the highest possible standards of tracker disservice by providing members with opportunities for shitposting development, by recognizing tracker drama 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.
For everyone in this thread who says hard ratios kill trackers, what else do you suggest?
inb4 t. zed, I'm legitimately curious. What other ways of forcing torrents not to be seeder-less can you think of?
Hunter Thomas
VERY strict HnR rules and using average seedtime as 'ratio'
Sebastian Carter
Use a system that encourages availability (seedtime) rather than data transfer.
Noah Stewart
to be honest teh has the best tracker incentives freeleech for barely-seeded torrents, and user rank that's determined by average seeding size
Austin James
Yes!
Jeremiah Mitchell
>torrent gives 0.00000650 Gold / Hour >have to seed for 160 000 hours to get 1 gold
Wow, what a great system.
Liam Clark
>hes gone off the deep end
Jacob Brooks
Wow, what a great post.
Wyatt Sanders
>n-nani!?!?
Chase Campbell
Size of seeded torrents should also be kept in mind though.
AB is perfect.
William Peterson
Not when the tracker is down :\
Xavier Turner
BakaBT gives bonus points only for torrents that have less than a certain amount of seeders.
So if someone wants to rack up bonus points, they have to grab the least seeded torrents and keep them seeded. Which is pretty much ideal for torrent longevity, is it not?
Nicholas Jenkins

Is /ptg/ dying? We used to be active as fuck, getting through 5 or 6 threads a day. We had Drizzy Wap, the whatcucks, the paying to piratefags, it was amazing. And recently we were very popular when WCD died: Sarek, Xanax, PassingHeadphones, etc.
Are people getting bored of /ptg/?
Ethan Cruz
I FUCKING LOVE /PTG/ MEMES HOLY FUCK
Gabriel Brown
The Drizzy age was the fall of /ptg/. It's what started the whole downhill tumble

Chase Fisher
I used to get stalled in qbit before i realised I didn't configure qeueing correctly. it is configured now but it's an old habit of mine to force them. it doesn't make a difference anyway?
>downloading torrents for friends and then letting them download em through ftp
is this illegal :^)?
Lincoln Morgan
yes, you're distributing content
Brandon Wright
Shit op. kill yourself virgin.
Cooper Scott
what's the actual point of cabal trackers?
I know they have more stuff but like, what if you're just an average user who doesn't need super obscure or old content? all new stuff is available at tier2/3 trackers anyway.
asking out of curiosity, please don't bully me.
Austin Myers
if you don't need obscure or old content, what are you doing on private trackers anyway?
Lucas Butler
>using the smiley with a carat nose
Isaac Perez
it's a hobby of mine
Brandon Wright
you pretty much answered your own question. apart from that, the archive/seeding is a lot better than the lower tier trackers.
Samuel Rodriguez
Shit post. kill yourself retard.

You really do need to get into the mindset of a Redditor to understand why this show is so popular. These people have never heard of adult animation in their lifes that wasn't stuff like Family Guy, it was completely alien to them. And they can't laugh at these shows because they consider these shows stupid. They want a show that isn't necessarily smart or funny or well-written, but that appears to be to appeal to their surface-level taste. Because these people live for that mindless self-validation. They don't actually understand what makes for good writing or good comedy, nor have they ever picked a book about physics. They want to pretend they do so and circlejerk themselves, that's what matters.
Rick and Morty is just perfect for its demographic: these same college-age self-important Bernouts who "fucking love science". The entire foundation of the show is built upon the dichotomy between "silly sci-fi humor and references" and " things are super deep and tragic bro". This pseudo-intellectual "nothing even matters, I'm insecure about existence, we are all going to die" bullshit that R&M shits out in almost every episode is what appeals to it's audience. The show doesn't actually have the tact to even begin to offer an interesting presentation and discussion of any philosophy, so it spouts these edgy teenage catchphrases.
Nevermind the bean-headed, noodle-limbed unexpressive character design, or how the story is non-existent and only comes up when the writers beg you to feel something for these characters so devoid of substance, or how the entire show is a trendy forgettable scenario of the week memefest with just enough sci-fi references to trick kids into thinking they are smart for understanding them, or how the characters have somehow been reduced to even more obnoxious caricatures than before, none of these things matter. What matters is that it appeals to the millenial redditor audience, and that's what's selling Rick and Morty.
Adam Russell
I think we were raided and occupied by some kind of shitposting force. It pushed away the moderates and invited absolute retards, and when they left... well this is all that's left.
>Bernouts I'm surprised I've never heard this term before but in this context but I love it. Most of what you said, other than the highschool vector image grade animation, pretty much applies to the vast majority of tv shows these days. Television, news, and pop culture are dying, people are just clinging onto what's left. Although the fall is hard, I can't wait for it to be over.
Cameron Nelson
What are some /pyramid/ torrents uploaded in the past 10 hours on Red?
Jace Stewart
Shawshank redemption 720p
Ayden Kelly
t. redditor
Hudson Cooper
is it just me, or do good SD encodes upscaled to 1080p look better than the shitty 1080p encodes on public trackers?
oh wow, i didn't know that. the joke's on me then. how will i ever live this down. you stupid twat.
Henry Wood
I got excited when I saw my inbox. Never had bluer balls in my life.

>reading/listening to music lowest tier nigger hobby, do research in pure mathematics/theoretical physics
Jackson Carter
Reward people seeding superior versions of files. With Audio this is easier than Video. But it's not impossible. You can only maintain this by having people manually select the best version of each torrent.
Bakabt is not a private tracker. ALso this would just get people to seed a specific torrent just for the sake of bonus points. This is a stupid system and doesn't improve user experience.
Eli Mitchell
lmao THIS
Jaxson Russell
time to upgrade sonny, I bet you don't use a 240hz monitor either
Liam Thomas
lovely grain
Josiah Turner
>ALso this would just get people to seed a specific torrent just for the sake of bonus points. This is a stupid system and doesn't improve user experience. Oh no, guaranteed seeders for less seeded content. How horrible.
>Bakabt is not a private tracker. Which means what exactly in this context?
