>Not sure what private trackers are all about? The mission of /ptg/ is to promote the highest possible standards of tracker service by providing members with opportunities for professional development, by recognizing technical competence through examinations and by advancing the interests of its members.

Previous News: >PassThePopcorn: Just to provide everyone an update: We are likely looking at 3+ days of downtime while we work on restoring services. We will be back.
my biggest concern is how do they know exactly how much days of downtime would they have? looks scary
Alexander Gutierrez
Estimation given by the FBI's coders.
Brandon Russell
Well that was easy. When was the last time they opened?

I don't understand how someone into private trackers isn't already hoarding a lifetime of media. The free internet obviously isn't going to last much long.

James Cox
nigga the PS2 uses its own connector that can go to composite, s-video, or component iirc. its pretty based
Gavin Garcia
I meant component. But the one that comes with the original ps2 is trash. My eyes don't even work while looking at the fucking screen
Justin Morris
It's EU, so it's SCART.

If something isn't being produced anymore, why the fuck SHOULDN'T they be allowed to give it out?
It's more exposure to something you can't even buy anyway, so what would it matter?
Joshua Harris
Nice kino station. Does this fag live in some destitute ex-soviet country?

Grayson Roberts
The worst part about this PTP downtime is that the IRC is still up but I haven't logged into the IRC server in so long that my nick is no longer registered and so I can't even idle there anyway. Fucking hell.
Ah, an African country.
Bentley Lewis
>he doesn't have a bouncer
Anthony Wood
Maybe you should have got it then, huh?
Nicholas Bailey
what band/album sometimes people in /mu/ sharethreads can find crazy shit. also slsk
Ian Ramirez
I already posted there, made a decent request on RED, and the only thing on SLSK was the same song on youtube. Probably a youtube rip desu. I've even setup alerts on ebay & amazon but nothing.
>>find guy on discogs who has it (only one who does) >>ask him how to buy it >>idk lol >>Can you give me a copy? >>WTF piracy is wrong! >>then can I buy it from you? >>NOPE you should have purchased it when they sold it this guy should be beaten
Jonathan Rodriguez
What are good backup movie trackers for PTP? Obviously I can't get into HDBits. Is Awesome-HD any good?
AHD is the indian version of hdb. >Bloated encodes >Dead tracker. 10000 registered users but only 5000 active. >Stalled development. They have the worst and ugliest Gazelle implementation of the cabal trackers >Full blu-rays aren't allowed >Their good internals have moved to hdb. Only the curry and bloated groups stay >Non-existant library. They don't care about retention, except for their shitty internals and users are only seedbox pump n dumping to become hd-kings and get into hdb

*ahem*
WHAT FUCKING BAND?!

mfw I got the final laugh and I don't even own the album
I would say which, but I already posted about it here. And it's a local band. You could simply look up the request and post my username now. And my city. No thanks.

>ADC head honcho is unwell again Another non-shit sysop should be hired already and maybe animay should be demoted for spreading FUD
Noah Peterson
The sysop doesn't want to let go of the site due to either paranoia, or much more likely at this point, an ego complex. AsianCinema has a long way to go for it to be a replacement, but maybe a replacement has to be made. Both have/had Paypal donations too which is fucking retarded.
Bentley Peterson
paypal is based i donation on whatcd using paypal i wish sights would bring it back because fuck learning about cryptocoin dogshit no donations from me until that is fixed
should just move shit to avistaz, ptp and btn while working on a new tracker.
Nolan Peterson
does ptp and btn allow customs? and honestly, neither have good retention on raw disc dumps like adc had. avistaz retention is pretty bad too.
Jeremiah Green
they dont allow fan edits. i know ptp allows hybrid remuxes and encodes.
Lucas Flores
wait ptp does. i remember downloading some japanese dvd5 and dvd9 that were customs from adc.
Elijah Young
Reminder that the "we'll be back" message on ADC was put up april 1st :^)
Hunter Ortiz
PTP sometimes allows custom stuff. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to how the rules are applied. It's also possible that PTP's torrent checkers no idea when some foreign film is a custom job unless it's obviously labeled as such.
It's like how their torrent checkers failed to notice at least one Chinese user flooding the site with SD encodes of Hong Kong movies but a bunch of them had Mandarin dubs instead of the original Cantonese audio. I had to report the few that I downloaded and messaged the guy about making sure his rips include the original language.
ADC isn't coming back. The site's userbase was shrinking more and more every month, which is never a good thing when it already had a very niche group of people interested in it. An extended downtime like this is probably the final nail in the coffin. The site might come back, but a lot of the users won't.
Bentley Baker
Nuh-uh! AHD is resuming it's rightful place as the leading movie tracker in the world! It's going to be awesome!
Leo Jackson
Doesn't AHD have rules against SD encodes or something? (ie banning most older movies)
Tyler Williams
all the custom stuff i downloaded were just discs with subs. nothing too different.
>does a tracker with HD in the name allow SD content retard.
Nicholas Jenkins
based
>does Awesome HD allow SD content hmm
Cameron Morgan
>tfw no good site to look for movies since ptp is down
>tfw me too but I feel like I'm addicted to finding even more stuff to download
Eli Cox
It's more about the chase than the catch user. Embrace the hunt. I got plenty of shit movies I've downloaded to encode that I'll never watch.
Ryder Nelson
bros pls tell me society glitch is gonna come back...
