So is this OP format copied from the /lbg/ one or the other way around?

anime
normies>>/out/

If you want something mainstream in great quality you come to HDB. If you want something non-mainstream in great quality you come to KG/Cinematik/CZ. There's no reason to use PTP unless you have a penchant for pajeetrips of blockbusters.

>HDB internals and pretty much everything from KG gets uploaded to PTP within hours of its release
I'm so sorry you can't make it this time user

>tfw not on KG
>tfw watching complex anime and korean kino all day again today

So uhhh its that time of the year again. Where do I go for text books? Trying to find "The world of psychology" eighth edition.

Why BTN not mentioned?

it's on amazon

...

>everything from KG gets uploaded to PTP within hours
>arthouse? indie? yes, I love criterion collection!
Please, don't try to engage in big boy conversations ever again, capebabby.

kek

just join through btn or bb

If everything on KG was also on PTP that'd mean nearly a third of PTP content came from KG.

As someone that's on KG, they have a lot of obscure foreign TV shows and vhs rips on there. They also have a considerable amount of music, comics and books that relate to film to help pump it up.

>vhs rips

They only do it in case if it's literally the only source out there. A majority of the videos are dvd/web/blu ray sources.

KG has nearly 100k movies.

>comics
Christ. Might as-well just UL anime to KG at this point.

>op thought this was a reasonable op to make
What an utter faggot.

Sorry your ironic weeb novel didn't make it into the OP

Next OP

Do you get to the clout district very often?

~300 available spots in ptp, who here actually got in via latest recruitment? whats your thoughts on comparing it to other movie/general trackers?

Did you check libgen.io

PTP is incomparable to other Movie trackers, it is simply put, the best movie to ever exist.

t. ptp shill

Not a shill, just a guy stating facts.

Will I earn more BP the longer i seed on PTP?

I'm barely earning 500 BP per day.

Where is the generous point system you guys promised

>Will I earn more BP the longer i seed on PTP?
Yes, seed time is part of the BP equation

Bonus points are an incentive to all users to help seed, while receiving bonus points for seeding activity. These bonus points can be used to trade for upload credit, a custom title, and other stuff found at the Bonus Store. You may also view your current Bonus Point Rates.

Bonus points are calculated through the following formula (though it is still being tweaked, and so may change):

bp/hr = size * ( 0.25 + ( 0.6 * ln(1+seedtime) / (seeds^0.6) ) )

Size is in GB and seed time is in days.

While this may seem complicated at first, it boils down to two things:
The longer you seed something, the more bonus points you are likely to earn.
You will be rewarded with extra bonus points if you are one of the only seeds.

Golden Popcorn torrents give double bonus.

There are some restrictions on bonus points. These are outlined below:
Power Users and up are the only user classes allowed to send or "gift" bonus points to other users, and purchase invites.
You can still earn and use points while on ratio watch, however, you will not be able to send or receive bonus points during this time.
Freeleech torrents will not reward bonus points while they are still freeleech (but Half leech and Neutral leech torrents will).

To access the bonus points page go here. You can also access this page by going to the top of any page and clicking on the link that says Bonus. Here, you can see what options are available to you depending on what qualifications/requirements you meet.

So how long do i have to seed before i start earning decent amount?

500 years

Anyone received their PTP invite yet?

is that spoken as a new recruit? if not, idc about your opinion

That depends on your seeding size. Just try and seed indefinitely. A seeding size of about 500GB will get you ~

It's on Amazon as an e-text, so you can buy it, rip the DRM off a copy with calibre and the DeDRM plugin, and then start a chat with Amazon customer support saying you accidentally got the wrong book. They'll refund you and remove it from your Library but you can just keep the copy.

I have done this multiple times and many other people have too.

hey /ptg/ what do u prefer as an anime watcher of class? honestly im a fan of the top one :^)

Is it worth joining UHDBits? DOes HDB recruit there sometimes?

No!

Pic related, but to be honest I prefer DFC to modest mounds.

What does that have to do with anything. I've been a member of PTP for a couple years, and on multiple movie trackers

< personal_hygiene> wiki.installgentoo.com/images/9/97/Private_tracker_flowchart.png
< personal_hygiene> look in other catergory

What the fuck are you doing idiot? This is in #red

Who the fuck calls themselves 'personal_hygiene' lmao

completely and utterly marked for life

May G*d have mercy on xer soul

It's worth joining UHDBits if you're not on HDB. Even the curry HD trackers do have stuff that filters down from better trackers, just not much, and UHDBits is the best one after HDB and AHD so get on it if you can. It won't help you get into HDB at all though.

Holy shit this is the most pajeet answer I've ever seen in ptg, are you from Apollo? Uhdbits is fucking shit

Just seed a few hundred GB, grab lots of the freeleech torrents to boost your upload and then download lesser well-seeded stuff that you actually want to watch/archive for the BP boost. You need to seed long term, but ln(1+seedtime) is an inverse exponential function so the boost trails off the longer you seed. Still, it makes way more sense to be seeding the same 100GB of data long-term rather than constantly cycling stuff so you might as well get a bunch of stuff to seed then make that your basis for bonus points, and everything else you just delete after the hnr period is up.

Name a better HD tracker other than HDB and AHD. I'm on all three and some of the other curry trackers so I fucking know. I'm just giving realistic answers to people that probably ain't getting on AHD any time soon and will almost definitely never be on HDB. It's easy to sit there and say that when you have access to better trackers but what else would you actually suggest?

Is Elite on PTP worth anything?

What trackers recruit at that rank?

The circle of life.

I would suggest a scene/general tracker since they cannot get access to high quality trackers they should at least get a decent amount of shitty content. your suggestion is asshole.

Anime fans are way to high in the hierarchy

Is /marked/ still a meme? I havnt followed trackers since last year. Heard 321cuck is gone tho

I just assumed everyone is on IPT for that shit anyway. UHD isn't THE answer, when you don't have access to the good trackers it's simply one answer to be used along with several other answers. It's not like it's hard to get in, for the effort you'd expend you might as well just join it.

Basic OPSEC was never a meme.

312c is "gone" but he is still running the show behind the scenes, rest assured

Yes, except it's not a meme. ElJewCuck is dead but his legacy will live on forever.

Who cares? People that consider themselves higher than have a tendency to be delusional

Will I get marked if I come to the ptg's IRC channel?

Hint: He is a staff with different nick

312c nigga is waiting for you :^)

What possible reason would 312cuck have to fake his retirement?

>What possible reason would 312cuck have to fake his retirement?
I hope he did.

>Being the cuck of a private website for 9 long years
Oh shit

What's the best place to find lossless audio torrents? I'm switching my entire library over to lossless and having a hard time finding what I want in anything other than MP3.

wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php/Private_trackers

Which tracker is the best for western cartoons? Myspleen, tv vault, BTN, or is there someplace better? I'm already in MTV.

>western cartoons

But why would he do that? It makes no sense.

He isn't really gone. He was told he would become the next victim of /ptg/ and /baphomet/ and decided to keep a low profile and make a new identity.

Jesus, PTP letting in curries like this?

Probably Myspleen or BTN. I don't watch western cartoons, but those two trackers likely have everything you're looking for

No shit, this is what happens when you open recruitment on trackers like Red and GGn.

>What's the best place to find lossless audio torrents?
Redacted. Unless all you want is vinyl rips of Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Radiohead. Then, Exigo and Pedro's.

Wouldn't RED have those too?

>Wouldn't RED have those too?
Yes. I'm making a joke about "super exclusive" trackers which mostly have pbthal bullshit.

random question. I see tracker staff and recruiters complaining about people not including their email address in their PMs when requesting an invite. What the fuck are these people doing? What do they expect will happen, they will magically get an account?

I literally forgot to include mine out of stupidity once. But I realized it two minutes later and sent a second PM

Complex anime spammer here. Kappa Mikey is kino

Many people panic
I couldn't stop my hands from shaking when I was applying for my Teh invite a few months the ago
Wasn't so bad for PTP

>RED is hemorrhaging users
>forums are a ghost town
>most torrents completely unseeded
>PTP requirements much higher than Apollo
>RED staff caught faking stats again

damn...

Crunchyroll anime spammer here. Life goes back to it's happening. Farewell.

Look at those artefacts

cartoon chaos

Shitposter caught faking facts again.

So my ISP is complelty cucking me out of torrenting. What seedbox do you boys reccomend?

>cartoon chaos
Never heard of it, are there any sites they recruit from?

btn

>looking at 8-bay NAS systems on Amazon
>also looking at 10TB HDD's
Send help. I have absolutely no need for this much storage, but I'll end up archiving every show I can think of just because

How exactly are they cucking you? I recommend seedhost

best tracker for cucks?

APL

not degrading enough for my tastes

Waffles then

Is there anything useful beyond PU on PTP?

maybe

What's a better strategy for playing the private tracker RPG?

>working on moving up classes on one site at a time
>working on moving up classes on several sites at a time
I'm mainly using sites that have BP requirements to move up classes
