in a few months it'll be the other way around again, it changes all the time remember when BTN recruited on AHD, or TehC before that?
Jacob Allen
That sucks but at least now you're prepared if they start recruiting from there again. How hard was getting PU on bib?
Lincoln Sanchez
It's easy if you upload audiobooks
Joshua Stewart
i see in ahd just 50% and 75% freeleech, they haven't 100% freeleech torrents?
Nolan Scott
not that hard once i bothered actually going for it when i realized hdb recruit from that i went the more upload data/less torrents uploaded route iirc
Angel Hill
wtf is teh matter with you "google it" do youwant everyone to become stuck in the matrix or what?
Adrian James
100% is very rare. They have a global freeleech about once a year but that's about it. 1080p x265 was freeleech for a while after they had just started allowing those. If you have a seedbox it's very easy making buffer with the 75 and 50% torrents.
Lincoln Turner
>i went the more upload data/less torrents uploaded route iirc 10gb seems a lot for a book tracker. did you gain most of that upload from the torrents you uploaded or did you autosnatch stuff?
Anthony Ward
i filled requests i think
Elijah Scott
Did you have to spend money or were you able to find requests you could fill for free e.g. from overdrive?
Parker Torres
HDB is never going to fall off the top of the pyramid unless they get shut down. They're not going to lose their rep as the top HD tracker.
James Mitchell
Yes, do you remember weighing less than 250lbs?
Michael Mitchell
Yeah, HDB is always going to be harder than the other two, I was talking about BTN mostly. But even HDB has been easier to get into than right now. They've recruited at ahd-maniac and bib before.
Christian Baker
i think i spent a few ameribux on one and got the rest from ebook.farm
Charles Sanchez
cool, thanks for the info. What exactly is ebook.farm? Seems to be some kind of invite only site?
Ayden Murphy
yeah, they have an insanely large library of mostly drm-free ebooks, where each ebook costs money but an order of magnitude less than retailers (sometimes literal cents). it's how i used to get books before bib
Oliver Richardson
yikes, I think I'm gonna stay away from that then. a similar site just got raided by the police recently
Jayden Reed
another day another GGn outage that could have been avoided if whoever manages their dns wasn't a complete shitter and understood that two A records pointing to separate servers isn't a fucking high availability setup
Jason Russell
really, which site? this one has been around for at least 5 years, it's just a scene source anyway, i haven't used it much anyway. not really useful unless you have really niche requirements
Hudson Mitchell
a German site called lul.to. never used it myself but apparently they had the same business model, pirated ebooks for a few cents each
James Moore
>german oh i get why youre worried, i know theyre really anal about attacking piracy at the user level
Carter Taylor
yeah pretty much. idk if they did anything about the users but they certainly could since they probably have everyone's payment details
Luis Morris
Never applied cause Fuck HDB.
Adrian Bell
never applied because fuck books. applying just for hdb seems not worth the effort.
Caleb Wilson
>2019 >not on HDB kys
Bentley Anderson
PTP+AHD > HDB
I'm not some autist.
Jordan Russell
What makes AHD so good to make it a complement to PTP?
They have two IPs on their domain and one is off. Put another one in /etc/hosts and you're good to go.
Hunter Powell

Robert Brooks
correct around a year ago i think. the saddest part is ive been on bib for almost like 5 years, but someone told me bib power user got you hdbits only around the time they stopped
I remember when ptp pulled recruitment off ggn and lots of people came angry-posting here kek

It's funny when people here not on ptp ask: "ptp vs x tracker?" When I got into ptp I couldn't believe how huge the difference is between ptp and every other movie tracker, there is absolutely no comparison at all ptp is just the best on every level
Jacob Smith
*rolls around on floor suffering involuntary cringe spasms*
Brayden Thomas
nope, shit user encodes there, you are funny
Nathaniel Perez
This. The tracker should be awarded some cultural heritage award from UNESCO.
Sebastian Davis
>shit user encodes there What do you mean? Most movies have decent encodes available and if they don't, a HANDJOB is still better than nothing
Lucas Jackson
>decent encodes I ain't downloading The Fifth Element via kazaa on fucking dial up no more. Them days are long gone. I refuse to waste time on "decent" encodes.
Aiden James
I'm not interested in your quibbling, just tell me what you think is wrong with the encodes? Any why do you think user encodes are inherently bad?
Charles Harris
this user is based
Evan Collins
if you don't like the encodes and say "Them days are long gone" then just download the remuxes that are abundant
Nolan Diaz
what a retard
Jeremiah Martin
but is better to get a few encodes for every movie or a lot for every movie that is that site
Justin Evans
You might be joking, but I actually think that this is true. Same way fansubbers should receive awards for intercultural communication or something.
Nathaniel Butler
hello nigga homosexual
Landon Jenkins
is better to learn english first, pajeet
Ian Ortiz
ok pajeet
Gavin Miller
PTs are stupid. All you need is FrostWire.
Jordan Perez
that doesn't change it is a shit tracker as you are SHIT
David Gomez
PAJEET
Elijah Baker
Found the nigger who hoards 480p HVEC encodes.
Dylan Gomez
good reply to that shit
Christopher Taylor
why don't you learn another lang, do you think are the only one? stupid guys, from stupid countries, same reply to everything YOU ARE SHIT
Connor Harris
>why don't you learn another lang why don't you? I already know two.
Along side HDB it has the best selection of high quality encodes due to their quality control. The owners of the site refuse to take donations. Extremely easy to build a buffer when compared to other trackers of the same "tier".
Though still not as good as either PTP or HDB when it comes down to it, it's a great complimentary/backup tracker, and its the best you can do before getting to PTP or HDB.
