have 500+ uploads on red, how to build buffer to 500gb without seedbox? or not possible?
Ethan Cruz
1. Seedbox 2. Pay money to fill those 800 gb anime soundtrack requests 3. Pay money and then refund ebook requests 4. Use your fl tokens on popular releases as soon as they come out 5. Download all staff/vip picks when they come out 6. Only download 2018 100% flacs and hope you make some mbs
Julian Edwards
Hetzner dedicated servers seem hard to beat for the money. 16TB storage, 16 GB RAM, 1 Gbps with unlimited traffic and i7-2600 for just €46. Really tempted to go for it, but I've heard that Hetzner's peering is not that good. Does anyone have experience with that? For context, I want to also be able to build buffer on RED by autosnatching 100% + log FLACs. It doesn't need to be perfect, as long as I don't lose buffer.
David Mitchell
THANKYOU
Adam Cooper
Why do people continue to want to get buffer on RED anyway? As long as you have BTN & PTP don't the majority of us still just listen to spotify?
Jacob Allen
If you’re only autosnatching 100% log flacs then it shouldn’t be a problem. Just use deluge and the right config
Josiah Johnson
you get what you pay for, all the cheap box providers have average peering and shared ports if RED has majority NA users then you might want to consider a seedbox in NA
Luke Russell
Hertzner are good for everywhere else but totally useless at RED. A 50mbps up home connection in western Europe will get your more buffer.
Wyatt Perez
RED is the path to ptp. You need TM (500 uploads and 500 gb upload)
Sebastian Gonzalez
>if RED has majority NA users then you might want to consider a seedbox in NA A US seedbox is suicide, everyone racing uses NL, with a few in FR & DE.
Cooper Perez
NL leaseweb is the best i think. Thats what seedhost uses
William Murphy
>Being at the top of the tracker pyramid >Using Spotify instead of RED, Vinnie's RED, APL, NWCD, or WCH
you want buffer not some racing epeen, having a box on Na means you will beat all the EU fags for seeding dj khaleid for desawns on comcast cable
Jaxson Davis
I wish I could literally invite you and other people on here that I know wouldn't be spastics. Can't invite anyone in real life, saved points and buying invites just goes to waste.
Andrew Torres
theres stuff on red that isnt not on spotify
James Rivera
I listen to about 5 hours or more of music a day, for how much I hate paying for content spotify makes this a shit load easier than storing and constantly changing and looking for anything new.
Carson Jones
Same case here, i’m on trackers like ggn, red, emp, ahd, ab but i’ve never invited someone. i just havent met anyone that is interested in torrenting
Dylan Rivera
So instead of Hetzner then, what would be the best for racing on RED (max. €30-40/month)? Currently have seedhost.eu, but I need root access for some things. Storage doesn't really matter then, since I can always change server once I hopefully get into PTP.
Cooper Cox
Why do server resellers exist in the first place? Shouldn't it just always be better if on would buy the server directly at Hetzner, Leaseweb, etc.?
Tyler Sullivan
... NL boxes will get you way more buffer than any shitty US provider. The only reason to get a US box is when you are using Plex or subsonic, for buffer you always want NL.
Community means buying and ripping CDs, buying MP3s and sharing them, something you wouldn't know anything about because you think you deserve everything right away without putting in any kind of effort. You talk about how these trackers are not worth it but the truth is you have nothing to offer, then you come here to bitch because people sharing stuff out of their own pocket are not making it available for you right away. You are quite literally the definition of an entitled leecher. Kindly stay the fuck away from private trackers, we don't need people like you.
Julian Jones
If you just want to race for one month to get the 500gb upload forget about having root access and stretch your budget to €60 for one of andy10gbit OVH France 3x120GB SSD boxes. Once you have the 500gb up (within weeks) you can cancel the box and order the hertzner for the next month. reddit.com/r/seedboxes/comments/8rt1ro/a_small_fathers_day_sale Otherwise keep seedhost for racing with then get the hertzner after you have 500GB up.
Oliver Ward
I want to masturbate with her used pantyhose.
Jack Fisher
isnt ovh bad on red though? nearly all race boxes use leaseweb
Benjamin Scott
>the truth is you have nothing to offer Backing up and long term seeding = nothing to offer and shouldn't be rewarded, apparently. Everyone get their 10gb seedbox and pyramid 2018 flac; who cares about anyone who wants it tomorrow?
Hunter Long
red needs a h&r systen and a bp system desu
Aiden Baker
Yeah I thought about keeping the seedhost or getting one from Andy. The only reason I wanted root access is to install WhatManager2, and use redbetter-WM2 (gotta get those 500 uploads somehow). I have used redbetter-crawler before (and that doesn't require root), but apparently it scrapes better.php and that's against the golden rules. They haven't banned me though. Should I just continue to use redbetter-crawler?
Joshua Edwards
Don’t listen to this cuck, it’s piracy for a reason. Cheat your way to the top and don’t worry about RED anymore once you have the main cabal trackers.
William Watson
send a staff pm saying that ur using it
Nolan Bailey
Music trackers are a dying breed. Streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music among others make them entirely unnecessary, unless of course you think you can tell the difference from a FLAC track and a 320kb/s mp3, which I cannot and even if I could on particular songs the difference is not worth the hassle.
Aaron Smith
redbetter-crawler was modified to use the API, which is why you can find it on the forums at RED. The old version scraped and was banned.
Jaxon Anderson
Spotify's quality is awful to my ears and it's literally the only thing that keeps me using music trackers; it's just so much more convenient, even before BS like interviews, uploading and struggling for buffer.
Carter Murphy
>struggling for buffer. Let NWCD and APL heal the pain
Kayden Stewart
>redbetter-crawler was modified to use the API, which is why you can find it on the forums at RED
My searching skills might just be bad, but I could only find these two posts. Crawler was removed by zed for violating the golden rules.
I remember at the time it was removed for violating the golden rules but someone modified it and it was reposted to the forums. Maybe they had another crackdown and have banned it completely, is Redbetter-WM2 still on the forums?
Jayden Cruz
Ignore that, I can see it clearly is by the screenshot :^)
Adam Nelson
Vinesauce's spells his name with a Y and I hope he'd be smarter than Michael Scott on The Office when it comes to making a fake name.
Dominic Reed
can i use seedboxes on btn, ptp, and hdbits?
Wyatt Jenkins
you can use seedboxes anywhere you want you fucking retard
Eli Richardson
Yes but why? Hdb FL wont count if you use seedboxes.
Kayden Peterson
>Hdb FL wont count no point going there then
Kevin Kelly

Jayden Ross
Both? Phew, dodged a bullet there.
Oliver Green
I need to increase my "people who made it to HDB only to get immediately disabled because they used a seedbox for freeleech" folder. Only have 3 ATM
you can probably make it work without root if you use sqlite instead of mysql and python's built in webserver instead of apache
Henry Watson
>people only join RED to get to the other trackers you know i see this thrown a lot but just looking at the stats less than 30% of the 31 thousand + users RED has have made it to PU and above. if that was the reason people join then they are doing a bad fucking job at it. >i can long term seed you and literally everyone else my man. if you feel entitled to something because of it go ahead and reap in bp in APL and get your music there. pretty much made for people like you.
Adam Morgan
>I'm in private trackers for the community >private tracker users are my friends >I actively chat on IRC and enjoy it very much
Largely middle-aged but only a few of them are boomers, with the bulk of the membership being gen-x, although the younger people on the tracker are definitely 27 year old boomers.
Yes, millenial poorfags can't seed so they stream or download yify
Charles Miller
Elitists like you are going to be the death of Red.

I agree that buying media and adding it to the peer cloud is what drives the RED community.
So why is that so poorly rewarded relative to renting a seedbox? If I buy a $10 album nobody's uploaded yet and upload it, I might get 500mb of ratio. After that, the seedboxes will outcompete me for upload. Or I could just spend $10 to rent a seedbox for a month and end up far ahead in terms of ratio.
Give initial uploaders 1% of all upload credit on the swarm and I think you'd see a lot more media being added to the site.
Andrew Harris
How to join h4h? Is h4h still alive?
Mason Bell
>If I buy a $10 album >Or I could just spend $10 to rent a seedbox Not him but I would already be paying the $10 a month to rent a seedbox, for use at other trackers, so that is a non-issue. The same is true for a lot of the regular uploaders at RED.
Evan Wright
>paying to pirate enjoy your Torrentify Plus subscription.
Jayden Fisher
That's not to say I support the ratio system as I'd be happy if it was replaced with a better-fitting solution.

>my time is so worthless that the convenience of a seedbox isn't worth $10/month to me
Owen Lopez
you pay to pirate when you have to fill requests, whats the difference?
Nicholas Sanders
If your time is worth so much why aren't you just paying for the convenience of Spotify? Why waste your precious time uploading anything at all?
Aiden Gray

Jacob Price
>$10 to netflix >$10 to HBO >$10 to amazon >$10 to hulu >$30 to sony cinema club None of which stream music. And apparently your time is worthless again.
Christian Fisher
>convenience of Spotify? Because an offline music collection that I can playback with whichever music player I prefer is more convenient for me. Also Spotify doesn't have all the music I want.
>None of which stream music Because you can only use the seedbox at RED? I don't have to spend multiple $10 for every tracker I'm on, you do understand that? >I would already be paying the $10 a month to rent a seedbox, for use at other trackers

Is this the RedDunce from PTP who was banned from the forums for kissing staff ass?

spotify for mainstream shit, red for stuff that isnt on spotify
