What are reqs for BTN on PTP? 10 uploads and 6 months?
Henry Cooper
>literally what is the point of anything higher than 1080i on HDB? There's no intended point, it's just the reality that you will eventually reach it because >as long as you seed ~500GB you will get enough BP to download movies whenever you want. isnt true and you have to be perma seeding a few TBs (locally, not talking about seedbox payers) to make HDB ratio comfy. I seed a bit more than that because I like not being able to care enough to go to BTN if I stumble upon a series I want. Directly downloading exactly what you want (movies/tv) is the end game. The journey wasn't trivial but it's rewarding

COPE , pussy is rewarding

Why is it all the way up in King now? They should just fucking prune and get fresh snatchers - grab my shit boys - and keep it active and also increase depth - been connecting to a few slow ass peers on a non-HD series recently. Like 60 KB/s I'll have to watch it tomorrow Australian shit. How and why is it still possible to be connected to 3 people with a 20 KB/s mean upload speed? Fucking ruralfags
Carson Turner
rural australians have that 100MB/S fibre
Alexander Brown
Where are the speedlets coming from or am I connecting to archivists who are limiting their bandwidth by allowing >200 active torrents.

>Yeah but what about the content it's shit. selection and retention are atrocious and more importantly for you is that it's crappy route. Not part of my pyramid.
Xavier Rodriguez
I'm on 100KB/s max upload and I've got thousands of torrents on permaseed, but I'm a poor ass uni student with a 10/1
Henry Murphy
hi r/ptg/, i need a tracker to dump my 700 bandcamp files
>POOPINTHELOOP >IPT >MAM you've almost completed the Curry Quatro
Landon Bailey
cs.rin.ru has many Steam games and updates not released by the scene, although uploads very unorganized because it's random people sharing their game files. Is there any tracker that collects them?
Diversify your pyramid portfolio user and do both + AHD passively on the side.
Connor Wilson
As of now you're going to need to do RED. No other option.
Landon Perez
Listen to this user, he's the good advice user of xmas
Cameron Allen
Pic related is my Pyramid, RED/GGn seem like my only paths to get to PTP and then BTN. Don't know if I can get an invite from MTV but I just joined anyway so I'm 6 months away.
So GGn thread is dead? I'm 200 away from Legendary Gamer. If so I'll delete all but one torrent and forget about GGn, fuck talking on IRC.
Issue with AHD is that adds 6 months minimum to my timeframe. Buying some new HDDs with the January sale and I want to upgrade all my movies to 1080p
>RED has more free bandcamp stuff that's not on Deezer
Unless you're some sort of hipster who only listens to post new age sound noise then services like Spotify will cover ALL your music needs. 95% of RED users are there because it's a stepping stone tracker
Brandon White
You can get quite a bit of good encodes from AHD before you get on PTP. You'll then have enough of a seed base to be set for life in PTP afterwards. GGn might suck now, but who knows what'll pop up in the future. You can do some stat grinding with minimal effort in AHD: download a bunch of the smallest torrents on site (shorts, audio tracks) and use them to raise your total and average seed time. That + account age accumulates passively.
Gavin Williams
When I got on PTP I never even cross seeded from AHD and it was still piss easy to become /setforlyfe/
Evan Green
Don't even talk about Spotify to me, faggot. The guy was specifically asking about FLAC. Do you think anybody who wants FLAC cares about Spotify in the slightest? What are you, a fucking 16 year old girl who listens to Ed Sheeran? Fuck outta here. He's asking about some obscure music that includes cassette only releases, Japanese releases with bonus tracks, and other expensive/inconvenient to obtain things. 99.9% of the content on Spotify is also on Deezer and could be downloaded in FLAC for free too. If you do manage to rip shit off Spotify for archival purposes it will either be fucking ogg files or 160k mp3s. This will never satisfy the autism of people like us, you absolute fucking faggot. Don't get me started on "remastered" albums either. What a heap of fucking trash those are.
Thomas Carter
>archival purposes
Didn't bother reading through most of your tantrum. As I said, 95% of people on RED aren't there because they want FLACs or want to archive music. They are there to get an invite to another tracker. RED is the easiest mainstream tracker to get into that gives you direct access into the cabal trackers.
Also MP3 and FLAC sound almost exactly the same and the only time you'll notice the difference is if you crank the volume up to ludicrous levels. Sorry about your autism though.
Also if RED was about archiving music they wouldn't allow ANY free bandcamp release. 50%+ of RED is just random free bandcmap shit
Joseph Perry
I don't care about Bandcamp releases unless they are paid ones. Usually those are pretty sweet because they're 24 bit unlike the ones from deezer/tidal. I could give a shit about people who are only using RED to climb besides offering them help and tips because I don't have that issue. There is an actual community of people who care about music there. They are putting up the kind of shit I want, like 1980s CD issues of older albums that are nice and quiet. Or shit I don't feel like buying off bandcamp. Or even shit I don't need to bother downloading using smloadr, easier if I just let someone else on RED do it for me. I know mp3 is transparent to the original uncompressed file in most cases. No cranking up the volume won't change that. But for archival+seeding reasons I want to keep the originals around. I encode my own mp3s from them, or sometimes even opus files. Those have better transparency at lower bitrates. But you can't make a decent encode without untouched quality source material. Last but not least I like burning CD-Rs to listen to in my car. I'd rather have the cue sheet, get the gaps right, etc...

Happy Hanukkah /ptg/! Should I join Nebulance? Read they like deleting accounts for no reason.
I don't care about getting anything right because this is Jow Forums and I'm mindlessly shitposting. It's fun to bitch about these kinds of things because it takes your mind off the real important problems in life. I really do have strong feelings about all of this though. I also think bitching about free bandcamp shit being uploaded to RED is dumb because it's just bitching about climbing being too easy. Every time I refresh and I see someone found some 24bit 1.7GB bundle of bandcamp bullshit to be autosnatched I'm happy for that person.

For full BDs HDT has better retention than HDB.
Still HDT is shady as fuck tracker that you shouldn't use without vpn.

Mason Lopez
>32^62 A passkey can contain any character in [A-Za-z0-9] which amounts to 62 characters, so the total possible number of permutations is 62^(length of passkey), not the other way around. For example, with a 32-character passkey, you have a 1 in 2272657884496751345355241563627544170162852933518655225856 chance of gessing every time. It's a little overkill if you ask me.

Do trackers not care about security?

Because they're secure enough as it is. I'd make them even shorter desu. I don't think there are people out there trying random combinations of characters and hoping to stumble upon a valid passkey.
