>tfw fell for (((ahd quality))) meme

how much is the average queue time for RED interview? I just wanna now if I can get to sleep later or just wait

8 days

Is BTN recruiting on AHD? What user class and requirements on AHD for recruit?

Pu + 6 months
Aka literally nothing

i took it about 2 months ago and i only had to wait an hour, it's probably about the same now

elitists btfo

With Pooloo on it's last legs and, almost certainly, closing next month, RED interviews will likely be busier than usual.

Shit OP. No link to previous thread.

well i've been on queue for 4 hours now and they didn't interviewed no one, this guy has been here for 8 hours

Yeah, you can have bad luck and have no one around to interview. I waited 8 hours or so for mine. Once someone starts interviews it goes quick though, since one person can do a bunch at once, and a lot of people will miss the 15 minute window you get to respond to start the interview.
I recommend finding something to do for a while, and just check IRC every 10 minutes or so.

You know they browse this website and if they identify you in the interview will more than likely fail you on purpose

not true. i told my recruiter i was from /ptg/ and it went fine

>The past few months, donations have been terrible. We got 7 donations which amounted to barely 120 euros in the past 30 days and the 30 days before that, we got about 240 euros. I feel that is unfair.
>Kindly donate to APoointheLoo.
>t. Your friendly neighborhood sysop, O

I know this will start a redpoo fight, but as someone who is somewhat knowledgeable about tracker costs: why the fuck are they blowing that much per month?

they aren't, they are full of shit. there is no fucking way it costs that much to run the site, at best it's half that

That's what I thought. Are they just not paying and now they have a balance to pay off or straight up greed?

not him
it could well be a scam, however, the staff are also naive af and I wouldn't be surprised if the 850 Euro thing was just more sheer stupidity and bad decision making from the staff.

What's up with all the REDturded shills infesting this thread and spewing blatant lies?

scc has been running a tracker for over a decade, their "incompetence" is a facade designed to swindle the stupid

Where can I find scene rules for H.265

i have hidden them in my panties... come and get them user :3

speaking of which, where does pastaman get the money to pay for his?

Is this true?

;P

Leaked APL news post not yet published:

>Due to a court order granted to the Minister of Justice of Quebec with the assistance of the NYPD:SVU, Apollo's servers will be seized, fortunately - we run a mirror server for the front-end which allows us to back-up data offshore from the actual server before deleting all traces of APL.
>This will happen in less than 30 days as the Systems Administrator of APL is being threatened by a First-Line Support staff member at a prominent private music tracker. Take your guesses. Starts with R.
>At this time we are re-evaluating our efforts to determine what sort of set-up is necessary to prevent this from happening again as well as negotiating with hosting firms in Russia to determine if they will be able to provide us with the hardware, network and support we require at a somewhat manageable cost.
>Please donate to our efforts via BTC, keep seeding the torrents, and we will try and be back as soon as possible.

Helping out neons. HDT gave 3 temp (expires in a week) invites for many users. Join some torrent invite forum and you should easily get an invite for free.

fell for the click meme
How tf can I maintain a ratio if we're a circlejerk of 3 people?

Now I'm aware it isn't strictly speaking related to private trackers, but I've mostly been using rutracker because I'm lazy and unwilling to get into a private tracker unless necessary.

Are there any other good public tracker alternatives out there? Preferably general trackers

Kinda hard to find anything

>front-end backup
>wut?

if you just want a general tracker, ipt

What content do you seek?

>download music album
>10 KiB/s download speed
Ok, I admit it, I fell for the public torrent is enough meme. At this point I guess I can be thankful that there are seeds at all.

General. Scientific writing I usually get from gen.lib, but otherwise I don't really have any sources I use regularly other than rutracker, so music, TV and films are all something I'm looking to supplement.

Using rutracker isn't a huge problem for most, since I can just use ffmpeg to strip away the Russian shit, but oftentimes shit just doesn't work via rutracker

IPT is invite-only though, yeah? (Or pay2pirate).
I can see how I seemed ambiguous, but I was looking for a public tracker, since I don't really have the need to get into a private tracker that badly

pay for pu

fake news desu

Yah, IPT is the usual suspect. You probably know, you will need to maintain some ratio there.

You can get IPT for free or for some bucks on some invite forum.like torrentinvites.org

You can join nCore (just buy it from some invite forum) - it's not as good as IPT contentwise, but good enough, especially for mainstream stuff and porn. The best part - nCore is ratioless like ruTracker.

For music, you should join Redacted if you can't find everything on ruTracker. Even if you don't need Redacted for music, you can upload 5 torrents and get your way to Redacted's invite forum. Paths to many trackers opens there.

Update about Redacted. You can join it for free by taking an interview on IRC. More info: interviewfor.red/

thanks now the fbi know they can easily get in

They're already in.

FUCK

why are women so stupid?
reddit.com/r/trackers/comments/7d3b19/worried_about_inviting_strangers/

gee i wonder how she got an invite to ptp

>reddit

[A N G E R Y]

What's wrong with what she did?

where do you guys download shit to revive torrents? if google fails.

soulseek

>if google fails.
i use duckduckgo.

>revive
TheOccult

>joined red 3 months ago
>around 50 torrents seeding
>have uploaded a total of almost 4 gigs

I don't see any rules on BiB that you cannot invite people you don't know IRL. I have seen unofficial recruitment on other trackers. this is okay, right?

copypasta from tehc :(

>tfw only using red to discover music since buffer is impossible

no way. is this real???

I found one thing here, once: rarelust.com/

But you have to upload and also have at least 200GB uploaded.
I have been on AHD for a year with heaps of HDD space dedicated to AHD torrents and don't have that much upload (even after BP I have 160GB). My connection is shit but I still usually do a lot better.
Which torrents should one grab from AHD for good seeding?

Which tracker has the best DVD encoding guide? I have some DVD-only content I need to encode.

started from the bottom
now we here

Prepare yourself to be disappointed.

PTP and I also use KaraGaga's.

passthepopcorn.me/forums.php?action=viewthread&threadid=14481

nigga im already impressed

>But you have to upload
How much do you have to upload?

Looks like only 1 upload is needed for PU (HD-Pro).

Should I download everything FLAC I can from apollo before its actually gone forever? This seems like the only logical choice. I need a new site though ;-;

is RED similar to what.cd in terms of gaining ratio? i was on what for about 5 years but went through multiple free leeches so had plenty of buffer. is it even worth trying if im not going to pay for a seedbox?

also will i have to go through the interview process if i am already on BtN and PtP?

>is it even worth trying if im not going to pay for a seedbox?
only if you have what to upload

>also will i have to go through the interview process if i am already on BtN and PtP?
No, lets trade invites bro

it's a complete pain in the ass to get buffer without a seedbox. they just handed out fl tokens and i used them all to try and get buffer, sort of worked but not much. they might hand out more FL tokens in 2 weeks or so, but i don't think we're going to get free leeches.

But spotify is better for discovering music, hell all the online services are, is the reason why people don't even bother with music trackers any longer.

Best unmanaged seedbox for 15 USD? Should I just grab a kimsufi box?

This is wrong. There's also the seedtime path which requires higher seedtime but no uploads at all.

So you don't need all of these requirements just one of the green ones? That is confusing.

Click Bonus and try to buy a Class Promotion. Then choose seedtime path and it says what you need next. I would tell you but
>There is no user class currently for you to progress up to.

edit: just kidding. Parenthesis is the Seedtime path to higher class promotion

life is hard

all of the green ones

I got over 50g upload from the 25 tokens without a seedbox. Not a huge amount but along with the 400gb from the earlier 144 tokens + passive upload from already seeding stuff it was enough to take me over to TM.

Since downthemall doesn't work in the updated firefox does anyone have an alternative addon that will download all torrents on a page?
I tried star downloaded but it just grabbed .php files.

>50g upload from the 25 tokens without a seedbox
share your secret pls

What is your home connection + what torrents did you grab? I got barely a GB from the tokens by grabbing new top 10 torrents.

yea well you probably have much better internet than i do

my upload is 500kB/s and i can't get shit on red. i've used the same internet plan on every torrent site since oink, and red is the only one where i can't get shit for buffer.

tfw I got way less with a 10Gb seedbox

Top x is useless, why join a pyramid at the top? Any upload worth having is gone by then.

New music is released by the majors on a Friday, much of it gets uploaded on a Thursday (and some WEB releases on a Wednesday).
Setup autodl on your PC to snatch any 2017 releases between Wed 10:00pm and Fri 10:00pm and as long as your internet isn't awful you should get gb's of upload in two days. Even if you don't get 1+ ratio it doesn't matter as you have used tokens, so it's all free upload.

I have a 300/30mbit connection with a czech ISP but due to a line fault I've been getting 170/20 for months.

that's a good way to ratio fuck yourself if you don't have enough buffer in the first place

great info, thank you

>Even if you don't get 1+ ratio it doesn't matter as you have used tokens

you're better off using bookmarks to their maximum potential and spending all those 100 tokens at once when you get them for Christmas

>>Even if you don't get 1+ ratio it doesn't matter as you have used tokens

>just use tokens bro HURRRRRRRR

thank you dimitiri the slav

the entire topic was about how to maximise token returns, dolt

Do they have Urban Jungle's Back in the Days?

Spotify sucks for everything.

I have to make some uploads on AHD. Any tips? How can I find what content is missing?

It doesn't, and it's the reason why some people don't even care about private tracker

It does, it's just not my fault it's exclusively used by plebs.

If you don't have any content missing from AHD already then get some taste.

6 hours

sorry I only watch good things and everything good is already on AHD

if you want to jump the queue just get poweruser on animebytes

True, super hero movies are the best cinema has to offer.
