News: - FL tokens on RED expired - GGn HTTP up HTTPs UP - Orpheus IRC is up - Continued endless boring discussion about private trackers.
If you actually care about encoding, you should try to join AHD, they are supportive of new encoders. If you have previous experience and want to contrbute, you might even get an invite, if you can prove it.
As of December 3rd, 2017, I am completely caught up on AB invites. As it's easy for me to fall behind, there's a couple of things you can do to help me get through these faster:
Imagine sending a PM on PTP just cause you already had a tab open or something and now you can't apply to a faster recruiter (the like RED one) without getting called a trader and cabal'd

REPEAT AFTER ME PTG
FUCK

I think AHD discourages handbrake these days. But I'm too lazy to look, so fuck it.
eac3to, then vapoursynth if the source needs filtering (and your goal is an encode, not a remux), and x264 if you're encoding for video, then a bunch of different software for encoding audio, and then package it into an mkv with mkvtoolnix (and there are a ton of rules about proper use of language flags, chapters and other such metadata). You also need to provide logs for all of this and detail this in the description of the release. It takes alot to create an archive-quality release.

I'm a bit of a private tracker scrub, so I understand if my question goes ignored and unanswered.
Ive been a part of a private tracker for about 4-5 years now. Its something I rarely use, but do enjoy having access to. I was informed of ratios, seeding, etc when I joined it. I kept my ratio fairly high, above 2.0 with seeding what I did download. Fast forward some time. A free leech comes a long. Typically I ignore them, but I'd been looking for something for a little while and figured I'd take advantage of it while I was browsing around. Basically I ended up snatching like 15 things, as I had a terrible misconception of what freeleech actually was. While it wouldn't impact my ratios, it would put marks against me as snatches. (Admittedly a little confusing even now).
Well this was a while ago, and I had not used it again in quite sometime. Logging in again today I realized what exactly I had done as I had my downloading privileges revoked. To get these privilege back, I had to correct my snatch ratio basically by seeding the appropriate amount of time, on what I'd taken.
The problem is that Ive built a new PC since then. I don't have those torrent files anymore.
Now obviously I'm not highly educated on torrenting and what not, so how do I go about correcting my fuck up to basically get my account back in good standing?
Maybe this is all highly anecdotal to the tracker I'm with. Its the only one I've ever used, so others may be different.
Sounds like you're talking about "hit and runs." Every tracker has different rules. Easiest way to fix is to re-download the torrent and seed for a while. If said torrent is no longer on the tracker, contact staff and tell them /ptg/ see t you.
Eli Brooks
Depending on the tracker, they may have revoked your DL privileges save for the very files you need to clear your HnRs with. Or if not, you can try begging on IRC to see whether the staff and you can strike a deal to give you a way out.
Gabriel Cruz
So you didn't seed the files that you snatched? that's the most basic rule of private trackers, seed everything for longer than you can. If you mean that you don't have the torrent files anymore that you don't have the files you downloaded, then you can probably get them off of publics again depending on what they were. If you cannot even download the torrents again, if you still can see your passkey on the site you can reconstruct the torrent files *fairly* easily, depending on what they were.
James Campbell
>so how do I go about correcting my fuck up go back in time and tell yourself to not be such a retarded piece of shit in other words, you don't
Brayden Howard
I am talking about hit and runs, but wasn't entirely sure if that was necessarily a global term or not.
>save for the very files you need to clear your HnRs with. This is indeed the case, but when I go to Download said files, no one is leeching them. I assume just going for the time limit would remove the HnR from from me, but my ratio will heavily drop if I redownload them. Unless ratio is also just impacted by time?
>So you didn't seed the files that you snatched? I did not. It was during a free leech, and I had a misconception of what exactly a freeleech was. As I said, I rarely used the private tracker, and when I did use it, I seeded the exact amount I downloaded or more. During the freeleech however I just assumed it was a take whatever kind of deal, given the name and that it doesn't impact your ratio at all.
Robert Peterson
So basically wait another 5 years and make a new account if I'm ever lucky enough to get back in?
Brayden Cox
What tracker are you talking about?
If it's a movie tracker, you can usually get the same files from multiple trackers.
Seems like you could upload new torrents as well.
Logan Turner
Oh, I remember again why I went with the seedtime route.
Wyatt Clark
Its an anime tracker. Much of what I took was older series that are a bit hard to come by now to be honest.
I've never looked into uploading my own torrents, but I'll definitely consider it / look into if it can remove my HnRs.
Gabriel Collins
The upload doesn't have to be your own encode.
Jayden Gray
You might want to consider just taking the ratio hit, clear your HnRs and keep seeding those same files that got you in trouble wayyy beyond the minimum time. Over time, they will upload enough to bring your ratio back to normal.
Henry Long
Even if Those same files have had 0 leechers every time I've looked? I suppose at worst I could just keep End of Eva or some popular classic seeding just for that 1 guy who comes along every now and then...
Samuel Brown
hi
Aiden Evans
What are some good filters for snatching stuff off of GGn?
Hunter King
So, your talking about AB? If not, it's probably not worth it.
>Even if Those same files have had 0 leechers every time I've looked? Well, I guess you are fucked. You should start by adding all torrents with a H&R to your client, and check which ones have seeders. Does really none of them have any seeders left? I assume you meant seeders, and not leechers.
Also being connected to them might be enough. Isn't that on of the criteria to prevent a H&R on AB? Not sure if that clears them though. Better check the FAQ and forums. Maybe there's an exception if you can't download them anymore.
Kayden Harris
Is there a good place to find Chinese ebooks/audiobooks?
Adam Richardson
You are right, but I don't see how I would be able to get 100 uploads without making my own encodes or remuxes.
With the seedtime path it's basically a two year wait with a shitload of torrents in my client.
Carter Richardson
I am talking about AB.
Only one has been pruned. I meant leechers, because that would be the only way to get that ratio back up to good standing. So I guess accept the major ratio hit, and just leave them running for ages to boost it back up hoping some rando comes along to leech some of it?
Ratio shouldn't matter now. Get the H&Rs cleared first. Would redownloading everything actually put you into ratio watch? If yes, maybe just redownload the smallest torrents until you are at 4 H&Rs (5 disables your download privileges).
Upload one (!) torrent, and collect the bonus points for it. There's a thread on the forums, the reward is pretty big, it should be more than enough to cover the ratio hit. Well, unless you downloaded pretty big files.
Jacob Green
Since I might not be able to see HDB recruitment, is it good and secure to share a PTP in exchange for the co-use of an HDB?
Given that two parties are on some local trackers with perfect user profiles. We are in the same country.
Any advices on making this contract beneficial?
Lincoln Brooks
just got my db9 invite
Xavier Morales
Every day you get a db9 invite.
Nicholas Lopez
>Any advices on making this contract beneficial? don't do it
Jaxon Martinez
But why? HDB is my dream. I believe everyone won' t help falling in love with it.
Jonathan Parker
just wait until freeleech and grab them again jeez. gonna happen in a week or two
Ryder Moore
>being this stupid Read the rules
Carson Kelly
Thats a good idea. Fuck me.
Eli Hughes
go to r/trackers & torrent-invites, plant some seeds, and wait for the magic to happen
Hudson Martin
I've got 8TB of buffer on RED. I worked so hard to get it but now I don't know what to do with it. What do?
Ethan Peterson
literally nobody cares about that shit
Isaiah Price

Owen Smith
But the fact is I will not be able to get into hdb from is r/trackers, no way from torrent-invites either.
I'm a member on TPS, will it ban me if I'm found having joined torrent-invites? Isn't torrent-invites a place of trading? I don't know what it is like but some people told me to stay away from it.
I don't want to spend money to buy an invite to hdb because unlike btn and ptp, I'm in hdb country ban list. hdb is the only one that I still hesitate to pay for, not only because of the ban list but also because its price of 400$.
I have not met my partner either.
William Ortiz
>whatever you do, don't tell them /ptg/ sent you, we're not seen well by tracker staff.
There a reason for that?
Mason Myers
A little bit of invite sharing in the early days of /ptg/, followed by a rigorous smear campaign by 312c
Samuel Campbell
>There a reason for that? /ptg/ is the hub of tracker cheaters and account buyers.
Camden Sullivan
Did he succeed?
Josiah Stewart
Yes
Jason Ramirez
Because of that, we always remind others of this? >Remember the following: >Staff occasionally read these generals and have posted here before. >This is a thread for educational purposes only.

Yes

Ryder Ortiz
Fuck RED
David Robinson
Beautiful
Jonathan King
I’ll give you one hint:.. “shoutout to beats”
Henry White
yeah it was me sorry
Isaac Thompson
Anyone on HDB can easily get into PTP, so you have to consider why would they want an invite from you, at the cost of sharing their HDB account? You're being scammed is the obvious answer.
wtf I only joined because ptg told me it was an easy path to ptp, now I have to do that work all over again on red
Isaiah Sanchez
any new meme tracker lately? I'm set everywhere and bored
James Butler
Redtopia
Ryder Wright
fake news thread is still there

>/ptg/ is the hub of tracker cheaters and account buyers.
Is it though? These days it surely doesn't look like it
Jace Flores
LOL at anyone who thinks /ptg/ knows what they're doing
Leo Perez
your mom's panties
Jackson Robinson
Nah, not really. Nowadays, it's just a place for neets to post their dumb memes every day.

what was lost?
Connor Kelly
I live in Germany now. Should I use a VPN or just download from my machine at home (asSpain) and then ssh the content to my hideout in Krautland?
Leo Howard
yomommas sex tapes
Joseph Wright
Both works
Jacob White
Nice. Thanks. I just wanted to make sure my plan wasn't retarded?
Aaron Moore
there are no retarded plans...
Thomas Russell
or use a private tracker and not worry about a VPN
Levi Taylor
what if I want to use public trackers? ipt has everything on ur cuckclubs, and a whole lot more
Daniel Green
Yeah like extortion
Joshua Kelly
>ipt has everything on ur cuckclubs, and a whole lot more said literally nobody ever. IPT is for retards who want Transformers 8 in like 20 different versions including xvid.
Enjoy your nigger trackers, pajeet
Joshua Sullivan
you can't name even one movie that isn't on ipt, and I can get it without dealing with your private tracker cuckery. $20 and set for life.
Camden Lee
Is Waterloo on there? Or Gay Niggers for Outer Space? Or Please Kill Me I'm a Faggot Nigger Jew? Or Skeeter? Or Antfarm Dickhole? Or Simon Boccanegra?
