MARKED

Ask them why.

That's just how soft economy works. When pseudocurrency is generated at a constant rate and potential expenditures don't scale with it, eventually somebody is going to have way more than they need and have nothing to do but throw it around. Then they spend it on request bounties, which just puts more people in the same position as requests get filled. It's inevitable.

It doesn't actually affect the quality of the tracker though, since seeding is still incentivized sufficiently; honestly it works better for retention and general usability because casuals are able to survive which means more seeds. It's argued that it devalues uploading which in turn hurts the catalog, but most soft econ trackers have solid catalogs, it's just apollo that sucks, and apollo sucked before it became soft econ anyway.

All it really hurts is the vetting process for invites because it makes it easier to climb the class ladder when you can get a shitload of perks for filling one request. And honestly who really gives a fuck about that besides staff?

How? Do they have an IRC? It's not like they advertise that on the login page

I don't know, maybe it's on some obscure wiki.

So anyway, which staff or FLS member or torrent celeb would you marry and why?

that defeats the point of using tokens to save buffer

My university blocks torrents and VPN access. Is there a feasible alternative to seedboxing? I have plenty of local storage, but I'd rather not pay to rent a seedbox due to the cost and the limited storage

Is the GGN casino worth it? I've been hearing that it is rigged, but wanted user's opinion on it. I want easy gold to get to PTP.

Is it on streaming services? If yes use those qobuz/tidal/deezer request threads on the forums. They will grab it for you without you wasting any buffer on a request. If it's not then the shit was unavoidable from the start.

Found it on deezer with the rest of their discog on soulseek. Shit isn't even obscure.

Yeah that's perfect for one of those threads then, shouldn't have to waste a bit of buffer.

If I'm already on PTP, is it worth it at all to get to Legendary on GGn?

Also fuck that site, they got me addicted to this gamified ranking shit and I hate it. I need a life.

Anyone know that site which auto-formats album tracks and descriptions by searching for the album?

Bump

are you on BTN too?

They're so next-gen they don't use irc but discord.

The addiction goes away when you hit legendary. For fucks sake don't go for gaming god. Just don't.

It's probably not that difficult to circumvent the VPN block. Connect over SSL instead - a lot of VPN providers offer it. If they're blocking based on your provider's domain, consider hosting a VPN endpoint in AWS or something. It's not super difficult. That said, I'm not responsible for whatever happens if your school's IT department decides to come after you for this.

Another one I don't think people consider is: try joining a club. I joined my school's AV club and it turned out to have its own 1gbit fiber connection which was unrestricted. You can do a lot with that.

Did zq left just AHD or encoding? Are they still active at HDB?

yes

No

barely, more at ptp

Where did komic and zorbit go? I mean if they joined any other group?

no, and they're pretty much the only active members in zq

Guys, this is the new top of the /pyramid/.

What's your excuse for not being there?

Now going on 3 and a half months since requesting an AB invite

Angry because somebody discovered your POO Palace?

I sent it to you like 10 weeks ago dude

fuck off zakku

>good OPening
AB stepped up their strictening regarding users
Current User Stats
Maximum Users: 18,000
Enabled Users: 17,968
And we just hit fullhouse a week ago only to see inactive users getting pruned. Good for you elite wannabes. More chance for interviews.

AjitPites were never relevant.

I'm trying out different private trackers in the hopes of finding one with sheer quantity of active torrents.

Thus far my best find is IP Torrents. It's a shitshow of donation-begging and """lotteries""" that are won by the fucking staff (lol!), but as far as I can tell it's the one with the most active torrents, pic related.

Are there any trackers that can beat this?

What tools do you need? Add the second torrent, ensuring you fast resume when adding it.
>Are there any trackers that can beat this?
Literally every private tracker in existence.
Quality > Quantity

apoloo tracker down?

nevermind, just the https one.

hey what the fuck should I be snatching from HDB if I already have BTN and PTP

whatever you want, idiot. crossseed from those trackers as well. and get free BP from using 2factor.

no really though like, what is the point in hdb if you have ptp/btn other than the people there or is that it

ptp is easymode so movies are basically free there, plus there's sd content

btn is literally ratioless and has sd content as well

hdb just has arbitrary rules and only hd content

we told you that it's pointless to join HDB unless you want their exclusives, a backup for BTN/PTP, and an obsession with HD content.

What arbitrary rules?

BTN is good if you autosnatch, but for manual downloading I check HDB first.
BTN maybe a step above MTV for organization but it's still dogshit. HDB is neat and tidy design that just werks.

>BTN maybe a step above MTV for organization but it's still dogshit

you're retarded. BTN makes MTV look like trash

Nice reddit spacing.
I know BTN makes MTV look like trash, and HDB makes BTN look like trash.
Hierarchy of trackers is hard when you aren't at the top of the pyramid, angelcheeks.

Framestor is BeyondHD
Is Epsilon an internal release from some tracker?

>I know BTN makes MTV look like trash

that's not "a step above" or "still dogshit" you fucking idiot. learn to stick to your premise or try having a nonshit opinion, you stupid nigger.

>Quality > Quantity

While not inherently false, the point I'm trying to make is that if tracker A has 1000 high-quality torrents, and nothing else, and tracker B has 100 000 torrents, there is a good chance that B has quite a bit (if not the entire collection) of overlap from tracker A.

The same can never be said for tracker A.

BTN is still dogshit when it comes to design and organization, redditfriend.

But that's a false premise.
MAM has over 900 billion torrents compared to half a million on BIB yet there is little overlap.
TPB outnumbers PTP many times over but good luck finding much of PTPs content on there.

another day another 250mb uploaded to red

another day abother 12 GB uploaded to APOLLO the god of music trackers

>APOLLO
no thank you

So...
Whats the conclusion when something is available both on HDB and PTP(BTN) but with different Group?
How will you pick to download?

Epsilon is PrivateHD

1) You pick the highest quality file

2) You pick the tracker where downloading the file benefits you the most, like if you need ratio on PTP or you are going to be banned from HDB unless you download 1GB a week.

Neither, that bullshit is too bloated, get hevc same quality for 1/4 the size

Compare screens if it's a movie I'm going to watch once, or download both and compare if a movie I intend to keep in my collection.

Where does it say on AB that seeding from two computers is allowed or even encouraged?

Post it in a Pastebin next time.

hehehe just having fun

I am
I'm hoping so...

Any recommendations for VPN/VPS? I've got cryptocurrency and will happily overpay to make sure that nothing can be tracked to my real ip except by state actors.

Looking to have an all-purpose system i can tunnel torrents, DDLs and IRC through

Should I perhaps even buy 2 or 3 and chain them?
