What the hell is up with IRC? Did someone gain sysop? If an established moderator was responsible for this, would they mind identifying themselves and offering an explanation? CaptainK is a longtime member and wouldn't do this intentionally, clearly a mistake on his part. And why ban me for that defense?

Fastest way to get upload on Bib?

Holy shit pooloo mods out in JDIF force
his post is gone and says
"4.3 Disagreements must be discussed privately with the deciding moderator. "

Is this worth the extra time it takes to upload audiobooks over eBooks? I have 200+ uploads already but the upload data itself is where I need another 10gb to get elite
Cameron Cox
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Carter Nelson
How does one communicate with a mod while banned?
Julian Sanchez
In the disabled IRC channel I'm guessing
Chase Russell
Another thing you can do is try and find the biggest ebooks (at least 100mb+) and upload those
Some fuckers have the same idea though cookbooks are like saturated to hell
Oliver Reed
If you believe yourself guilty of wrongthink, It is your duty as a citizen of the Democratic People's Republic of Apollo to report to the nearest reeducation facility for rehabilitation.
Nicholas Roberts
Best place for those? I'm assuming Overdrive in PDF form?
Jaxson Jackson
Is it actually worth using an SSD for a week or two for initial seeding on a file I upload or will a 5400 RPM drive do more or less the same? I'm not using a seedbox but I do have a 250 Mbps upload connection. Also this is primarily for smaller media (music, ebooks, audiobooks) not movies or TV.
Christian Nelson
yeah overdrive, just start looking for books with large page numbers and that are graphic intensive. Stuff like encyclopedias, cookbooks, repair manuals, even some poorly optimized children's picture books. I check out/return about 10 books and then just go with the ones with the largest MBs. I usually go for uploading anything 40mb+ .
PDF's dont get grabbed as much, large EPUB's have been more reliable but also harder to find in a larger MB format
Oliver Fisher
>80+ active RED torrents It's Christmas in July!
Isaac Hill
Awesome, thanks very much for your detailed help.
Wyatt Young
Are those TM picks from Friday freeleech?
Grayson Diaz
I thought the only thing that was made freeleech was the millionth torrent.
Liam Rivera
wtf lol
Joshua Davis
Was it pure coincidence the millionth torrent was uploaded by a member of the (((progress team)))?
Cameron Nguyen
No
Josiah Evans
No freeleech, besides the millionth torrent.
its /pyramid/ for all the TM's ATM though, made like 10 GB buffer as of 2 hours ago

probably not. but i havent given it much thought

Nope, new TM picks to /pyramid/
Brandon Flores
Best by far: Ebrary/Eblib aka proquest - this is a massive nonfiction library for students.
This little sucker will tell you what filesize the book is and also everything off it is retail and every university/college has different available books. It's lots and lots of nonfiction and textbooks and there are a lot of people who need books off it (fill requests guys.)
Upload STEM books. That's science, technology (programming and servers especially), engineering (less sure about this category) and medical books.
Bibliotik folks also love philosophical books and literature criticism and whatever highly anticipated fiction novels are coming out - these will be in the anticipated lists on goodreads or requested.
You can get books from libgen and those blogspots.
But pretty much anything gets autosnatched anyway (1-10mb anything, above is mostly retail unless it's what I said above).
>tfw no one has bought and scanned ALL the allpose books for me to download
Brayden Green
So how am I supposed to get an invitation to a tracker when I'm not in the tracker to have community connections in the tracker?
Alexander Young

Interview for Redacted.ch, reach elite. Then join Animebytes and Bibliotik, reach elite on both of these and wait.
Jayden Young
Take the What.CD interview
Zachary Jackson
Hello guys, I am having problems logging into What.CD. I've been in cryosleep since 2008, and have just been woken up. After extensive testing in the lab I have finally been able to go home. The first thing I did was open my Pentium laptop to download some music, but low and behold the website is inaccessible. Any help would be much appreciated!
Josiah Kelly
Is HDBits pointless for tv if I'm already on BTN? Does HDBits allow one web DL, one BluRay of each of 720/1080 as well or just BluRay if they're available?
I want to get HDB anyway for movies
Robert Wright
>I want to get HDB anyway for movies then get HDB you dingus
HDB will have encodes from only the best available source. this typically means only blu-ray encodes
Anthony Morales

>just used my first token It took me a solid week of clicking through links and related suggestions on youtube, soundcloud, forums, etc. for two hours a day just to find a single album that was on RED and had a song I liked enough to download, and now I have only 2 more months to do this one hundred and forty three more times? What's the point of making tokens expire?
Juan Mitchell
Hello pajeet...
Julian Miller
hello sir
Ryan Taylor
Just pyramid like the rest of us. Buffer doesn't expire unless the site dies a la WCD
Bentley Mitchell
Exactly. Throw every token at the staff picks and use that buffer later whenever you want.
Thomas Anderson
top kek
Come to the dark side brother.
Leo Taylor
Isn't it too late for buffer? I've only /pyramid/ed a couple of times (gorillas and ed sheeran), hopped on tgose within two minutes of being posted, and only made back half if what I spent (on a seedbox using rtorrent).
Seems like a losing proposition, especially now that the recs have been up for a few hours
Jeremiah Thomas
Can someone xplain what happened with jpopsuki? Was everything renewed? The admin still is somewhat active or at least pays?
Carter Garcia
It's held together by love
Grayson Parker
The sysop appears to not have logged in in over 3 years. But he can easily make it appear that way. So who knows.
Jonathan Ortiz
This happens every time. The sysop doesn't give a shit enough about the site a la Apollo, but he's not shit enough to not pay for the site to stay up so fags can get their music, unlike Apollo.
Landon Scott
Well with tokens you will always make back more than you spend (since you have nothing else better to spend them on). I continued to get 100s of MB days after the initial TM picks were given. It's not really too late as long as you have a seedbox.
Not ideal at all but if it's between that and trying to force yourself to spend your tokens in a few months I'd pick the former.
Blake Peterson
>missed the recs by a few hours again
Elijah Smith
I'm honestly not 100% sure, but it's better than just letting the tokens go to waste especially if you have nothing you explicitly want right now. For me, I'd rather add large torrents to my seedbase using the tokens which, if I seed forever, will slowly but surely build me more buffer over time as the site grows. Not pushing your HDD space/seedbase to its limits is the reason why most people have issues with ratio. They think that if they go below 1.0 that they'll get banned or something.
Connor Sanchez
Some of you guys are alright
Don't go to RED tomorrow
Cameron Myers
You should download everything FLAC with the FL tokens or big uploads and permaseed unless it's been > 1 day.
If it's >1 day you will have to see what new albums come out and pyramid with FL tokens on those.
It's so hard to gain buffer at the moment that these methids are essential. You gain some you lose some.
Lucas Sanders
Guys, can we talk about this monstrosity?
Jacob Turner
I added all the TM reqs using all my tokens on the largest torrents about 2 hrs ago and I've already made back all the download I would have spent even without the tokens.
Isaac Nelson
tokens expire because if they didn't then faggots like you would just sit on them forever. Now you have to use them and actually put something into the economy.
John Gray
Is MTV worth it?
Asher King
ratioless BTN, albeit with poor seeding retention on older series
Up2U
Oliver Thompson
Are you on BTN? >Yes no >No Yes
Cameron Sanders
>ratioless BTN Isn't BTN ratioless?
Samuel Bailey
X=X-1 where X=Infinite seeders
BTN is perfect tracker.
Xavier Morris
Join it and find out!
Jason Price
yeah my brain's ratio got fucked up
Jacob Foster
I've been chasing BTN for ages now, I really regret holding off on a Teh account months ago because I missed the time requirements by about a month
Who knows if Myr will actually return
Gabriel White
Yes, making MTV completely pointless if you're on BTN already
MTV serves the same purpose as a general tracker. Good for popular and recent stuff but not good at all for anything older, especially if you want variety on quality options.
Evan Myers
If they're not, somebody needs to update some shit.
