What's another route to BTN apart from RED? I've been waiting for 3 months for an invite and they banned me from applying via interview because I didn't close a tab
Jaxson Green
User invite > PTP/AHD > BTN
Benjamin Nelson
>Open a tab When will cheaters learn to cheat properly?
Levi Morris
Wasn't actually checking the tab at all, I'd written everything down but I'd forgotten to close it sadly.
Impossible for me to get a user invite, I've sent a PM to the recruiter on my tracker but no reply in 3 months.
Jeremiah Richardson
cant cheat if you weasel in during open sign ups
Joshua Thomas
GGn when they have applications > AHD > BTN

Do recruiters usually keep an eye on you for a while after they invite you? Or do they not really give a shit or invite too many people for that to be practical and promptly forget about you unless you do something dumb enough to catch staff notice in general?
Ryder Mitchell
RED and AB are pure cancer now and will be even worse in 2019. They only had some decent invite forums before other trackers started offering the same shit.
Sebastian Martinez
they don't give a shit unless you break the rules
Adrian Williams
They don't give a shit about even recruiting to begin with.
RED roadmap to BTN already dead to be completely pulled in the coming months heard it here first.
James Brooks
how did they know your tab was open?
Tyler Myers
I made friends with my interviewer on wcd and we still talk, just because we had similar tastes in music. I'd say for the most part they just forget about you.
Juan Bennett
It's their website, they can see your IP connecting to the website's server and see your IP in the IRC.
Camden Jackson
I'm not convinced they are that sophisticated. I guess it wouldn't be that hard to do.
When I cheated on WCD I was paranoid so just downloaded the website.
Nathan Brown
I think it's a well-known rumor; have heard of it many times. I wouldn't be surprised if they do it.
Nolan Fisher
Most websites don't actually require a constant connection like that as long as the tab open unless they are specifically created in such a way. Usually you just download all the resources when you first load the page and then the connection ends until you open another link or something.
Might have just gotten it accidentally included in a screenshot or something sent to the interviewer, don't interviewers request such things? Or I thought they did but I've never really interviewed for a tracker in my life...
Leo Torres
>don't interviewers request such things? Yes, they did on WCD at least. Screenshots of other trackers someone is on and stuff.
Justin Morales
imagine being such a dumbass you leave the tab open
Lincoln Butler
imagine being so low down on the food chain you need to interview
Matthew Miller
yeah i just joined big bois back in the day and got into all the cabal
Joseph Martinez
last thread dead with just 100 replies, can we keep it alive this time?
Levi Mitchell
It’s not a “rumor”. Why do you think interviews take so long? They think they are prosecutors and they ask you questions to bait you into lying. They can easily tell. Trust me.
Samuel Brown
Jokes on them because I lied about everything during my interview, I even lied about being on my home IP.
is REDs economy better now that Apooloo is out? I got into RED pre-freeleech so never had to deal with the shit economy because I downloaded some shitty classical combo packs during the FL and got /set4lyfe/
Elijah Scott
the economy is only tolerable when they give out tokens. other than that, the site is dead
Colton Martinez
This is already pay-to-pirate: The thread, so how do I get into usenet?
Jackson Jenkins
How can they fix it? I get like 5GB per month on my shitty connection but pretty big amount of torrents seeding. It's fine for me but if someone was really into music and trying lots of stuff that probably wouldn't work for them.
Samuel Parker
handing out tokens seems to work well enough. just give out 5-10 tokens a month for users under like 25gigs uploaded
Colton Moore
>pay $10 for lifetime indexer account >pay $40 for one-year unlimited usenet account >install nzbget or sabnzbd >install radarr and sonarr or couch potato and sickbeard/sickrage Vwalah
Isaac Brown
I don't see what the downside would be of that?
I guess if they took it too extreme they would kill the economy because no one would seed but...
Carson Hughes
it's literally $40 a year for shitloads of content? why does no one do this when people are spending fucking dozens a month on seedboxes?
probably because it only takes a few months to be set for life on most sites
Joshua Ramirez
set for life as in "you literally still pay server fees" lol
Easton Harris
?
1. Get set for life 2. Cease payment
Joshua Foster
that's literally not true whatsoever tell me how the fuck you get enough ratio to be set literally for 70 years of downloading
a few months would be equivalent to a few years of usenet subscription
Carter Miller
>he thinks private trackers will be around for 70 years
lol
Camden Barnes
Have you never heard of bonus points? I've got 10 TB of buffer on AB purely because I have an average seed time of 6 months
Sebastian Reyes
>one (1) month seedbox use will get you 2TB buffer >average FLAC size on RED is 400MB = 5000 albums to listen to >listening to 3 new albums a day is enough buffer for five years, or roughly the expected lifetime of a tracker
Bentley Watson
GGn > AHD > BTN
Will take you over 12 months, but it's the only way besides user invites based on what you've posted.
Bentley Turner
None of those but RED will lead to BTN, and even RED isn't a direct path.
Luis Jackson
Ignore me, is right.
Mason Robinson
According to the Pyramid GGn gets me into BTN/PTP, is that no longer the case?
Justin Clark
BTN thread was removed a few months ago and the PTP recruiter takes 6+ months to respond (ontop of the Legendary Gamer requirement you need, which will take some time now that patrician Madbudgie buffs aren't coming every other week)
They aren't wrong. How many blacks other than sarek are on trackers? And even he was banned because he is black.
Nathan Miller
Fuck, looks like I'll have to settle for MTV then. RED recruiter is taking ages to reply and I don't care enough about music to do the interview when it's just a stepping stone tracker. Unless, could I just seed a few torrents for a year, do they have bonus points on RED?
Thanks for the advice
Joseph Hill
Nah, REDs economy sucks. If you don't care about music you're better off just not even bothering. MTV has a decent amount of content, it's nothing to scoff at.
Noah Green
I think MTV should be enough for me as I'm trying to upgrade all my TV shows to 1080p, but I don't think I can get my niche British TV shows on it. Can you move to PTP/BTN from MTV at all?
Gavin Brooks
l-lewd! :O
Joshua Morris
>Is $ramdom_trivial_shit A Form Of White Privilege? these people need to be gassed promptly
What said, tracker fullname is TV-Vault. TCUK is TVChaosUK, you can request invites at Jow Forumstrackers.
Landon Hernandez
>1 month of seedbox use will get you 2tb buffer on fucking what site, lmao prove it jesus fuck just stream your anime from pirate sites you cuck
Wyatt Long
private tracker newfag here. What's the selection of retro PC/Mac games (think Win95/System 7) like on GGn? Does the super duper secret tracker have a better selection? Could I get there through GGn?
Xavier Hill
On RED. On PTP you can gain way more than 2TB buffer in a month.
Jonathan Nelson
PTP and RED don't give you what the fuck you want. Both PTP and RED form an incomplete bullshit cycle. What people fucking want are games, software, TV shows, and books. All of that is hidden behind bullshit.
Zachary Thomas
GGn leads you everywhere user Fuck off andy10gbit. I'm sick of 1.01 already
Brody Gutierrez
There are people who didn't get into the cabal via BigBois? Where is AngryRedditGuy when you need him?
>people >games Don't mistake children for people, Dmitry. GGn leads nowhere but AHD, stop memeing. >andy10gbit You don't need an andy10gbit box to make 2TB on RED lmao.
What does Jow Forums usually recommend in terms of Torrent Software?
I know this might be only adjacently relevant to this thread, but I'd rather not start a new thread asking it.
Colton Cook
rtorrent and transmission. windowfags get fucked hahhahah
Lincoln King
deluge for speed/racing/aggressive peering rtorrent / trans for lightweight
Henry Thompson
rtorrent and transmission on loonix or transmission and qbittorrent on windows a docker container of rtorrent if you want automation features in windows
Mason Barnes
what do you use?
Nolan Martin
Not him, but NWCD is the REAL DEAL
Jonathan Richardson
qbittorrent
Jack White
I have been using uTorrent for some 5 years. But I just bought a new computer and thought about getting something better.
Thanks for the recommendations.
I think I'll go with qBittorrent. I'm just a casual user.
Tyler Price
This depends on what you want. Since I am using a Raspberry Pi as seedbox with several thousand torrents, my only option is qBittorrent (or just one instance of Transmission which is a mess) as all others require too much RAM.
