It's a fucking joke. I get 2500 BP every 10 minutes or so.

Could I go directly to Overlord with enough gold stars?

Animebytes is all you need bros.

No, the last two classes, Master and Overlord, cannot be bought with Gold Stars.

Are you allowed to create your own .cue files?
I have a .tta with no .cue, so I took the MP3 album, threw it in mkvmerge appending the files together while telling it to make a chapter for each appended section, then used the chapters to get the split points.

>2018
>seeding torrents

get a load a this fucking faggot

why the hell not?

Tfw no doujin section.

Whats a good tracker for old foreign documentaries. Looking for Celebrations (1992) by junichi ushiyama. All I want is Xingu women wrestling naked.

Th-that's a heavy blanket!

KG, IPT or PTP (i.e. the Holy Trinity of Film)

I fucked up :(

What should I snatch from PTP today boys? Y'all usually have better taste than /tv/. Looking for a comfy crime or mystery film.

Fuck off y'all posting retard

what actually happened to apollo? I've been renovating my home for a while so haven't been online. I recovered my account on orpheus and got my buffer back but haven't scoped out the site at all. Apollo has always been a backup tracker for me, but I've seen a handful of people tell me to stay away from it

Any Hallmark mystery.

>tracker anniversary celebration
>give us money and you could win a prize

could they be any more kikey

It's not a good backup if it's as unreliable as APL/OoPS

Admin decided to close it down, but handed over the data to other staff members so they could start a new site.

The one and only Apollo sysop in control of the infrastructure vanished and let all the payments lapse so the site got shut down. The other two staff members found a several-months-old unencrypted backup of the site that was just sitting on the irc server, and used it to create a new site called Orpheus.

by unreliable do you just mean how often it's offline?

Even at the beginning of this post wcd wave of sites I remember people saying they were avoiding apollo for various reasons. I don't understand the way trackers run enough to grasp why. Apollo and Red seemed similar enough to me. Reds my home base though.

fucked up. has the og sysop made a statement?

>has the og sysop made a statement?
No. Some people believe that he was actually the person behind more than one staff account, and he just decided to drop his persona that was getting flak and jump to another one. I find it more likely that Apollo just wasn't making him money, so he dropped it and never looked back.

>has the og sysop made a statement?

No one has heard from him since he disappeared, and no one knows who he is irl. It's highly likely that the person is actually deceased.

Quickest path to hdb

Any tricks for easy buffer on LearnFlakes?

Because it's 2018 so people think they can be selfish and:

1. Ask for more than $15 as a minimum wage.
2. Don't seed torrents.

>ghibli

WTF is a ghibli? Is that jap for gay porn?

Have you tried seeding?

>ghibli
if you googled it instead of shitposting you would know by now

I'm not googling gay porn, you fucking homo.

>decide to debloat a bunch of FLAC on my PC
>instead spend 2.5 hours uploading FLAC
>now can't debloat since seeding

Kaguya Luna has a single out?

j get some more hd space or stop listening to shitty formats

>Quickest path to hdb
PTP for sure

The only stat that matters is which one is easier to join, and Orpheus won.

If it's easier to join why do they have less users?

Best encoding resources?

kys

me in the middle

What's a good seedbox for building buffer on red?

sounds like somebody's butthurt over living in their mom's basement instead of owning their own house

stay jelly, faggot

is x264 dead?
these sites are dropping like flies
did netflix and spotify kill piracy?

Lads, I just got my first 2500BP! Damn it feels good to be a gangster!

>RED
>Tokens: 10+50
what does this mean? I have 60 freeleech tokens? kek

>tfw got 10 million bonus points just sitting there on BTN
>literally nothing to do with them because I just use IPT anyway
m-muh cabal

yep lol

>tfw don't even use the site and nothing to spend them on
oh well

Is TheGeeks worth getting into, or are there better e-learning trackers?

Explain to me like Im an idiot

Whats the point of upload quota on BTN if the tracker is ratioless?

>>Quickest path to hdb
>PTP for sure
This ATM.
Good luck with those 10 uploads!

You need data transferred (either upload or download) to advance classes.

Have you tried your local library? I heard they have open reg...

ok, this was epic.
>upvoted

hello fellow humans, I am trying to decide what music to spend my freeleech tokens on. I have accidentally forgotten what music us fellow humans like to listen to, I think the beatles and rock and roll right? Is that what us fellow humans listen to?

Are you magapedes ready for Christmas?

unlike OT, they actually have an uncensored tag for hentai.

Is it really only 10 now? It used to be 200 didn't it.

Get marked and disabled already.

confirmed for retarded

LEGEND picks finna drop on AB this holiday season

PTP will surely be doing their 10th birthday celebration soon, r-right?

just starting downloading 40 of 51 (very good) movies my friend requested. I got almost all from hdb and as they amount to half a tb I bought a 24h freeleech (even if they're already 50% free (and I know their year end fl is not far away)- what else am going to use my bp on.

Anyway that shit took 3 hours to check ptp/hdb/ahd and get 1-3 torrents and add them to my torrent client. Of course most hdb internals arent in a folder on ptp/ahd so I had to fucking edit their paths

Shit is so fucking tedious. There must be a better way to bulk download shit.

Is red currently the only way to ptp

Where does the MooMa release group come from?

check the hdb wiki

I think ptp has a huge one too but who cares if they encoder isnt known

looks like all of there releases are web-dl who cares?

Who's the head of the cabal now that WCD is dead?

>check the hdb wiki
it's not in the list of encoders

i care

Then it's irrelevant unless it's tv

>40 movies = 500gb
i can't tell the difference between a 720p encode and a remux or 1080p

Download a bunch of Sublime Frequencies compilations. A few volumes of Dusty Fingers. Maybe a couple of Keb Darge compilations. That's the type of shit I would listen to without giving away enough info to get /marked/.

Yeah. They'll do open signups for 10ms as a practical joke.

>Who's the head of the cabal now that WCD is dead?
BTN. There's an IRC channel that used to be hosted on WCD, where tracker staff would post information about users who cheated the tracker, or bought or sold invites. That channel is now at BTN, so it's fair to say _they're_ head of the cabal.

April Fools - site wide freeleech for 15 seconds!!!!

10 merit tokens + 50 gift tokens.

Also, you clearly are a shit user. If you had upgraded to member you would have had 25+ merit tokens at least, and those gift tokens have also ben there for a while and you haven't made a dent. Why the fuck are you on REDacted if you don't use the tracker at all? You're a disgrace to /ptg/.

It's 500 uploads. I'm not kidding, you have to be TK.

Has PTP ever done a site-wide freeleach? Maybe that's what we can expect...

PTP is always site-wide freeleech.

I'm trying to cross-seed a movie on 2 trackers and qbit keeps fucking up the checking part.
Is it a problem that they have different piece size?

No. In fact it's standard to use different piece sizes to ensure two torrents won't merge.

Sometimes people edit small things.
Could be added chapters or subtitles, something like that.
