if anything, TehC incentivizes people NOT to seed. If you want people to download a torrent you're seeding, you want it to be FL, i.e. on seeder surge, i.e. less than five seeders. And if you want to download something, it's likely going to be on FL i.e. seeder surge, meaning less than five seeders. So what we end up with is a system that reaches homeostasis hovering just above 5 seeders. God forbid you actually want to share a movie, the best thing you can do is actually stop seeding so someone else can download from the remaining four people.

Tyler Richardson
TehC also has an artificial traffic issue. Seedboxes circlejerking with sending BDMVs or ancient XviDs to each other has no purpose but to build buffer. Most people will probably dump all versions but one after a week anyway.

I seriously think adding a slow-tick bonus system + hnr rules would fix most of red's problems, also they should remove & disallow anything other than music (books, apps etc)
Joseph Lewis
I wouldn't even care if RED had one month minimum seed time. Fuck, I'd even do a year. But just give us some goddamn way to download music

Long gone is the discussion of comfy video trackers
Face it: torrenting vids + plex = comfier than cable/streaming
Spotify is far comfier than downloading music from awful communities to your computer then putting them on your phone. Just facts. Whatcucks

MaM also has a bad ratio: like 200k users, have to donate or apply to upload. Like 10 uploaders

Retards complaining about not being able to download music from R*D post your stats NOW. It possible to grab up to like 50Gb or more worth of music if you seed everything.

Brandon Gonzalez
You don't even need to upload anything at all... You can get like 120 Flac's or 420 V0 albums for free.
Christian Cox
>420
David Jones
Not him, but music is way easier to upload than movies or TV. Musical recordings exist in the millions and are easily accessible, movies and TV on the other hand exist in the thousand and lower millions, and can't always be bought.
Eli Campbell
I will post the best /ptg/ OP image you've ever seen if this thread reaches 350 posts without someone jumping the gun and making a new thread with the previous one not even being close to dropping off the front page.
James Morgan
but nobody wants to download 99% of the music that's on red, unless you upload the beatles or radiohead or cheat some dumbass' autosnatch you'll never get any buffer
Bentley Lopez

Jack Thomas
Well, if you are going to be such a lazy cunt that you can't even be bothered to post in the unsnatched thread then go fuck yourself you retard. Besides, all kinds of stuff gets snatched, even obscure bands signed to no name labels without having to post them on the unsnatched thread.
Angel Clark

Daniel Cox
how many of those torrents have been snatched? rough estimate
Jordan Barnes
80%? And I haven't posted in the unsnatched thread for the whole month.
Chase Perez
By the way, this Is considering all my uploads, not just perfect flacs. Out of those less than 5 are unsnatched and were uploaded a few weeks to a few hours ago.
Joshua Peterson

What's the best source for VR porn (180 deg 3D video, not the CG kind)? EMP and PB seem pretty good, but are missing some of the vendors.
Eli Ward
Because they, along with Apollo were the first vultures on the battlefield. Ready to rip apart what was left of What.CD's userbase and appropriate as their own.
They didn't create anything new. They only forked the tracker, copy pasted rules and wikis, spinned some PR to attract ex-wcd userbase to act as mindless drones repopulating the new sites with old content.
Neither RED nor Apollo did achieve anything on their own, you imbecile mongrel.
Jace Ross
Zed, please do kindly fuck off to your site. This is not your place to spill your populist propaganda. Nobody's going to believe you either.
Everyone could see through your bullshit ever since you fucked over that naive idiot Sarek, then when you started anti-Apollo shitposting (the other site, shitty as it is, at least has the decency no to do that).
We all know you're browsing this thread and this Russian maskirovka style trolling is just embarassing, son.
Jordan Thomas
>Well, if you are going to be such a lazy cunt that you can't even be bothered to post in the unsnatched thread then go fuck yourself you retard.
>Unsnatched thread, retard.
Posting in a thread when the shit economy is stalling the traffic on site is just as effective as school kids sending postcards to Somalia to help fighting structural poverty, raging famine and power fragmentation among tribal warlords.
Please, don't share your imbecile ideas next time.
~Professor of Tracker Economy.

I mostly upload CD and Vinyl. No more than 5 WEB recordings.
RED ended freeleech staff picks so that's good.
He's not wrong, you know?

>Helping data movement among userbase through posting in a forum thread.
Read this sentence in your head three times and realise how fucking ridiculous it sounds.
A healthy tracker strives toward >balanced seed number >maximising movement of data among its userbase
At this moment RED has >seeds in extremities, ex-FL torrents with ridiculous high numbers and on the other end vast amounts of single-seeded torrents >stalled movement >three classes of people - 1) those fed up on early access buffer (they don't contribute shit and also there's only so much you can download so they don't spend it either), 2) the middle ground with at least several dozen uploads and several dozen GB of buffer, increasing very slowly (much worse than on WCD), 3) the poor newfags that may have even contributed something but since there's no movement their buffer is growing in an absurdly low rate, prohibiting them from casual downloading or making them some thread beggars
GREAT WAY TO RUN A TRACKER, CONGRATS.
Daniel Flores
Read that same quote again three times. Keyword: Help. It's not a requisite.
A healthy tracker strives towards having the most content possible. Balanced seed number means nothing. As long as that number is one or more it's fine because it means the content is accessible.
It's shitty that people 1) managed to get so much buffer by doing almost nothing, but there wasn't really an alternative. People 2) are the people who deserve to download from the tracker and actually can. People 3) are not uploading anything or else they would be people 2). They belong at HidraZone, not even Apollo.
The tracker works wonders for people who actually contribute content.
Adrian Cruz
I'm not on any of those trackers, so yes. Most of them are unsnatched though, I just uploaded them to become Elite.

Michael Perez
>Rare content being one (1) force majeure away from disappearing >fine
Carter Perez
It's fine, but I wouldn't be against the idea of a bonus for having at least two seeders for every torrent. This would be very easy to abuse though.
Easton Bailey
>As long as that number is one or more it's fine because it means the content is accessible. But you've just said being a seeder is nothing: >I want to get buffer while doing nothing!
Guess they should stop doing it. Nothing wrong with stopping doing nothing, right?
Blake Rivera
Any system is easy to abuse if the designer of it is incompetent.
Henry Morales
Fuck off.
You get the idea.

Jack Collins
>no! It doesn't work because I want to get buffer while doing nothing! seeding isn't "nothing" though - you're keeping the files around and added, doing something illegal and helping if someone does download that torrent
it is annoying to keep the same torrents seeding for months or years, never gaining anything for it
it is even more annoying to download that fucking Radiohead just to get some upload

Seeding requires no effort and doesn't help to increase the library of the site. If you want upload, actually upload stuff.
Luis Nguyen
>Seeding requires no effort and doesn't help to increase the library of the site. it does help to keep it available and alive.
>If you want upload, actually upload stuff. it is true that this is really with music, though. I live in a non-English speaking country so my CD shelves are full of albums that aren't really available online.
...but it is still just a little bit too much since you don't necessarily get almost any buffer out of your own uploads, either. give bonus points for new uploads if you want to expand the torrent library, maybe?
Caleb Ortiz
You do realize the only reason why anyone can download anything with torrents is because people... seed?
Tyler Roberts
STOP MAKING SENSE!!!
Camden Perry
user I am uneducated and not good at math, so I am wondering if you can explain something to me:
Why is Apollo's S/L ratio increasing if no one is snatching anything and no one is uploading anything. How are they getting more seeds?
So for stupid question
Grayson Johnson
...
Jaxson Hall
cross-seeders
Noah Howard
I think the sudden increase is related to the tracker issues with ssl
Owen Gray
Maybe they had FL pics those days, dunno.
Colton Thompson
In your opinion, is it good for the site if it has a high S/L ratio? Despite not having many snatches/uploads. To be honest, I didn't expect APL's population to be the cross-seeding type
Carter Miller
It's worse on PTP, she's a month behind.
Carson Rivera
>she
Joshua Russell
True, but at the expense of less uploads and less filled requests. You can get an almost guaranteed buffer for every upload you make by posting in the unsnatched thread. Now, I wouldn't oppose some kind of bonus for the original uploaders, such as an instant buffer equal to the size of the torrent as long as you keep your seeded. Bonus for seeding is a shit idea though.
Cameron Flores
>instant buffer equal to the size of the torrent as long as you keep your seeded. This sounds like it'd increase uploading much more than the current 0/1/0 system.
Cooper Foster
Yes, so? You only need one seeder. Giving bonus for seeding past that one seeder is ridiculous.
Christopher Anderson
i don't care hooooow impossible it seeeeeeems
Thomas Lopez
...
Luis Lee
I'd put that number to 2-5 because a single seeder is a god damn risk
Jonathan Cox
BakaBT has a system where bonus points are only given to torrents that have low amount of seeders.
They haven't had a single unseeded torrent in several years.
Matthew Torres
Why some people still use utorrent in 2017 when they're superior alternatives like rutorrent, deluge, transmission and qbittorrent?
Logan Flores
it's a good system, but they don't exactly have a large selection of content. blacklist, as well as only 1 encode per category.
