REDPILL ME ON RED VS APL
Parker Reyes
no!
Henry Evans
...
Samuel Martin
4th for kyle is going to get BTFO
Landon Richardson
The irc is #ptg on irc.rizon.net buddy
Christopher Watson
apl = pure curry, always down, no staff communication re. downtime, losing seeds, losing users
red = win by default because apl is hook shit
Josiah Howard
usenet masterrrace
Isaiah Green
you mean #/marked/ on rizon buddy
Alexander Myers
So who else here fell into the trap of caring more about your account stats than actually using the media you are d/ling ???
Here is a test:
A POPULAR NEW MOVIE JUST GOT RELEASED ONTO YOUR FAVORITE TRACKER
Do you
1) say "oh hell yeah I can't wait to watch it!"
2) say "oh demn son I wonder how much upload i can get off that"
Jace Barnes
alot of ptg users actually chat on that network unliek rizon
Colton Brooks
2
Adrian Powell
2 Then I watch rutorrent while it downloads
David Hill
probably 2) as most popular new movies are shit
Grayson Russell
1. Bonus points allow me to not care about upload amount at all. I am having trouble getting my HDB bonus rate up though.
Kevin Wilson
Is MAM really enough to get me onto decent trackers, or is RED the minimum?
Jordan Morgan
>can't even not talk about it
Austin Campbell
apollo is back :^( >tfw I want them to shut down so I won't have an account there anymore
Jordan Hill
just delete all your apl seeds and put all your effort into red and nwcd
Nathan Fisher
t.puff
Nicholas Gonzalez
>popular movie I won't watch it desu.
Cameron Evans
/comfy/
>tfw watching the torrent client is more exciting than watching the movie >tfw high upload speeds are the true kino
>most new movies are shit agreed. I used to check the trackers every week for new movies and there was always something cool to watch especially during the leak seasons but now i just wait until i hear about a good movie and grab it when im ready to watch it
HDB bonus formula is right there on the page
How else do you keep up with pop culture
Matthew Bell
yes the bonus points formula is there, but It still takes a long time for me to get my seeding size larger for more upload. I know it gets higher over time, I just need to wait longer. PTP bonus points accrue much faster
Justin Adams
PTP is way more generous yes
HDB is honestly a pain to use compared to the newer trackers, what do you use it for ?
Dylan Harris
I honestly just use it when I have upload available to spend there on a film. I download everything from PTP, but I want to start migrating to lesser used sites in case PTP ever gets shutdown. And having a high bp rate on hdb wil make it more comfy if that ever happens.
Nathaniel Hall
Yeah it seems like sites keep going down left and right
if you want some tru buffer you should grab the recommended torrents as they get updated
Angel Myers
>pooploop is back >check forums >see this
Isaiah Gray
I have a really slow upload speed so my client is always outmatched by other users. My only method is to cash in bonus points, but thanks for the suggestion.
Cameron Hall

Michael Adams
/marked/
Adam Baker
no!
Aiden Barnes
>How else do you keep up with pop culture I don't. Don't even watch the news for the most part. Maybe like twice a month.
Joseph Robinson
Have you ever bought shit to fill a bounty on trackers?
Back on what.cd, I bought a soundtrack for a film I watched a decade ago directly from the label and got ~30 GB for filling with a perfect FLAC.
Currently considering buying a couple of shitty children's movies worth maybe 3 bucks each for 2TB of upload apiece on PTP. Though then again, I probably don't need that buffer as I could just rely on bonus points.
Aiden White
How does the Bonus Points system work on PTP?
Liam Murphy
Seed shit for a long time, get bonus points. Less seeders = more bonus points. And I think GP is x2.
Brayden Morales
Which version of Avisynth is the best? Is Avisynt+ any good? I'm hesitant to change because I'm worried it will stop working.
Easton Carter
Where can I ladder on Nebulance?
Justin Peterson
MAM gets you TehC and APL which is OK I guess.
Zachary Carter
Does pooploop not even do interviews now?
William Ortiz
RED has everything MAM has, plus EMP, GGn, DB9 etc. there's no comparison. go with RED for recruitment
Isaiah Bennett
red isn't easy though
Eli Carter
>pooloop >interviews that requires both irc to be up and users who want to join the tracker. unfortunately, there's not much of either.
Chase Roberts

Blake Hughes
zed = toilet water
Joshua Russell
Don't censor that piece of shit. If you are (((elite))) and you ask that fucking question you are worthless and deserve to get cabal'd.
CatfishJuan is a fucking idiot.
Angel Murphy
>beaner No surprise there
Ayden Morris
Any tracker with open registration right now?
Justin Garcia
if youre reading this FUCK YOU for stealing my reencodes and uploading reencoded shit right after i download the flac and ruin my ratio
kill yourself nigger
Joshua Gomez
redacted
James Roberts
theshow
Chase Miller
ot!
Evan Sullivan
Is OT still open?
Blake Torres
>ot overtime?
Leo Johnson
yes!
Adam Perry
what do they usually ask in interview/applications? never done one before, just join whatever is open
Anthony Lewis
Join the IRC and find out, queer. If you fail you can join another time. Probably.
Asher Hall
only torrents
Chase Moore
Is there a more unofficial guide to the redacted interview? I'm not sure how to answer questions like "why do you want to get in?" when the real answer is "so I can do my time and move on to better trackers"
Carson Hughes
>why do you want to get in? because I like high quality X and being part of a like-minded community X={music,movie encodes,serie encodes,porn,books,game torrents}
Dylan Nguyen
don't worry about it, you don't have to be honest, just say you want to share music with others, nobody's going to check up on you.
Jeremiah Morgan
if such a guide existed, interviewers would just fail anyone paraphrasing or copypasting the suggested answers
Jack Butler
>nowadays there's a real risk of the right holders asking money if they find someone downloading movies/shows, it is a small risk but I don't wanna take it >downloading is no problem, literally no punishment in the law for it, but sharing is bad
Should I: try to deal with DDL or get on a private tracker (the fucking thugs probably don't go on private trackers to look for victim) or pay for some sort of service to make public torrents safe again, VPN or whatever kind of service would be cheapest
Ayden Ortiz
VPN if you're happy with the content of public trackers
Luis Clark
>try to deal with DDL no >get on a private tracker keep in mind, you might end up spending money to use private trackers. Unless you have a godlike home connection and an always-on PC, you will end up renting a slot on somebody's dutch vps to save your ratio >VPN best choice if private trackers have no appeal besides hiding from the mafiaa
Grayson Evans
Depending on how fast your connection is I'd go VPN or seedbox, and work you way into 1 or 2 top generals. If you're not able to find a lot of the shit you want there, pick up the relevant niche trackers. PTs are about availability much more than safety.
Nathan Perry
stick to 2.6 desu
Aiden Flores
Do they give much of a fuck, or is it more about the technical questions? If I show them my MAM stats, will they assume I'm just trying to use them as a gateway tracker or am I overthinking it?
Caleb Powell
I've never spent money on private trackers and I have 10mbps connection, on every top tracker except hdbits, which I don't care about.
Ian Gonzalez
Usenet has a surprisingly large amount of content including all the recent popular stuff which is what rights holders mainly go after. I've even filled requests on top trackers with stuff found there.
David Long
>cant understand transcoded spectrums >but can somehow actually hear a perceived transcode pic related is you friend (if youre here)
Colton Morgan
well yea I use some PT:s already, used to use what, nowadays I'm on avistaz, cinemaz (ok for european cinema), oppai, AB, bakabt (if that counts)
what I'm really missing are the mainstream things from the US, so I could mostly get that shit off public, but I wouldn't really *mind* having an even better selection
>PTs are about availability much more than safety. I just want reasonable safety, the copyright mafia around here basically looks at popular torrents from public trackers, gets the IP:s, contacts the ISP:s and sends letters asking for money
hmm yeah I'll need to look into that too
Isaiah Hall
>10mbps if that's symmetrical it's very good. if it's the usual 10/1 or 10/0.5 then yeah it's doable but you must be quite patient about building buffer.
Ryder Young
you are overthinking it, they just don't want you uploading stupid transcodes like: and breaking the rules.
Parker Davis
IPT or TL
Camden Turner
Okay, you da boss.
Jackson Scott
is qbit any good? thinking of switching to it from utorrent
Camden Mitchell
I'm telling you right now: you're going to regret it.
Mason Perez
yes it is very good
inb4 stalled memes
Angel Johnson
What are you talking about? I've used qBittorrent and my torrents never get sta
Blake Price
>exposing the ineptitude of pooploop "elites" is against the rules
Christopher Hughes
So am I stuck using utorrent if my server desktop is running windows then?
Ethan White
>windows server ???
Lucas Watson
Don't believe the stalled memes, it is a good client.
Kayden Adams
>server >wangblows
Ian Gray
meant to say seedbox which is just an old desktop I have at home
Landon Sullivan
>using windows server in 2017 lmao
Dylan Morgan
You should use GNU plus Linux on your seedbox
Ryder Harris
I'd consider installing a linux distro with rtorrent. On windows I'd use utorrent or deluge
Sebastian Flores
if he is scared of something So Different, gun/lunix with transmission is also neat
my "home seedbox" is just an old laptop with a big HDD stuck in running debian and transmission
Grayson Brown
Does Emp disable for inactivity?
John Martinez
i dont think so
Nathan Garcia
Does RED?
Joshua Green
i think so
Carson Collins
REDturded doesn't delete anything otherwise they would lose the stats game to APL
Nathan Kelly
>APL back up
Matthew Butler

Jose Walker
Is any big tracker going to recruit on RED or have I been fooled?
