what the fuck even is this. I just want to download some music and I'll have to spend literally moths autistically farming ratio from freeleches and seeding shit no one is downloading for the bonus points.

Can someone please tell me what is the criteria for releases on AHD to be either 50%FL or 75%FL?

Welcome to the world of private trackers bro. Boundless time wasting, autism and e-penis measuring.

not quite sure but my guess is
50% -> user release / internal encode.
75% -> internal remux

No. There are tons of non-remux internal releases with 75%.

Is TVChaosUK worth joining for me if I already have TVV, MTV and all general trackers?

yes if youre interested in niche british tv content

How the fuck is someone supposed to make BP on AvistaZ?

25% user release encodes
50% user release/internal remuxes
75% internal encodes

more like AHD

25% does not exist. Your post is incorrect.

75% Freeleech - All Internal Release encodes and their separate audio tracks. When downloading any of these torrents, only 25% of any data downloaded will be counted as your download amount in your total stats

50% Freeleech - All Internal and User Release remuxes. Only 50% of data downloaded will be counted as your download amount in your total stats

25% Freeleech - All User Release encodes. Only 75% of data downloaded will be counted as your download amount in your total stats

didn't ptp tracker go down before the staff pick freeleech ended? does that mean they will extend it beyond 20th?

We're in a jail for being a disgusting pedos, bro.

anyone can get in. desu I always use soulseek for music since it's better than fucking torrents but the essential mixes are all over the place on SS. I think I'll just deal with that rather than farming up a fucking ratio like it's my second job.

Post in this thread if you think they should BP system :)

Longterm perma seeding is currently pointless on Redacted. I have 6000 torrents totaling around 2.9TB and none of the torrents barely ever seed. Is it time to add a BP system to reward longterm seeders?

AHD is a pretty comfy tracker desu senpai, i like the encodes and the no donation policy

Why has my Sinderella account been disabled and can I do something about that? I had a great ratio and some uploads, but wasn't very active recently. Not enough to get banned for not logging in though.

Unless you went to jail or something you deserve everything you get for letting your account get disabled for inactivity.

Yes, without BP you get tons of uploads but also tons of dead torrents and a starved economy. It's common sense, but the pathetic losers who have nothing in their life besides their 50TB upload buffer will fight it to the death. Where would we be if people could simply download music they like and archive unpopular content for posterity to make up for it?

I wasn't disabled for inactivity, I think. I routinely log into all my trackers to avoid that and it's worked fine for years. It would be an insane coincidence if I suddenly missed only that one tracker. I assume they nuked all whites or something, but I don't know.

the fact that you are seeding 6k torrents right now just proves that the current system is the best for content retention

I stopped using redacted altogether, unless you constantly upload and are interest of modern/new music, you just can't be part of the system, it won't work mathematically.

I got 2TB of music for "free" from a user on the site and seeded it for half a year on a 10Gbit seedbox, all I got was maybe 90GB which is nothing if all you download are flacs and 24bit/96khz versions from old recordings.

It also reminds me a lot of pyramid schemes, if you are/where on top you profit, otherwise you have no chance.

Thick as mince.

I think so. If you look at the top 250 users by upload, the 250th user only has 1.8TB of upload. So where does that put user #20,000 (someone in the middle of the pack)? I have a mere 50GB of upload (99% of which came during the freeleeches in the first few months of the site's launch with 1% in the last 2 years) and that puts me in the top third of uploaders.

So 2/3rds of users can't even get 50GB of upload. IMO, BP (or similar) just leads to a healthier "ratio economy" because it regularly injects a lot of buffer into the community.

To speculate, I think that this is particularly a problem for red because of how it started. It began with a frenzy of activity as the initial users all brought what's uploads over. As a result, the site was really created by a handful of archivers instead of years of people coming and going, different people doing releases as they happen, etc. I'm not saying that it isn't possible to be a high quality or heavy uploader on red today, just that it seems like the ratio economy is unhealthily skewed. At the same time, this highlights the important of archivers since it was thanks to them that what could be reborn.

Stop fucking reposting reddit threads you retard.

is there anything interesting in the torrent master forum on redacted?

Not really. There's a thread complaining about the Elite forum complaining about the PU forum talking too much about drugs, an invite thread that has nothing interesting (read: no HDB/BTN), and a couple stats related and archival threads (like a "Post your single seeded flac torrents for eternal archival" thread and "Which nth ETM are you"

yeah, every shit tracker has this: what power user has about drugs?, retard seedbox users did that since what cd

why does AHD not have PU forums

You're either in or you're not on AHD.
Also, how's everyone going to take it when they finally prune half of their users?
The tracker is already pretty small as is.

>when they finally prune half of their users?
huh?

In their latest announcement they said they haven't been running the inactivity pruning script.
They're going to send out an email then disable about half of their users, look at the monthly active. It's pretty pathetic.
Most people probably use PTP as their main, but have AHD for some reason.

>for some reason
"Some reason" being for when PTP goes down, like it did this week.

>Users active this week:
>37.62%
yikes

delete this post, ahd is great

hey :o)

are these different?

i'll try again
does anyone know of some trackers that keep ISO/IEC/IEEE standards and or vehicle and related e/e schematics?

fuck off (you) gay cunt

Based illiterate pajeet

You should be able to request those on e-learning trackers but that sounds very specific so I doubt there is any place that has exactly what you want.

bib has requests for similar stuff

>ptp down
>find everything I've needed on filelist
Who knew romanians were so based?

> Post in this thread if you think they should BP system :)
Worked well for pooloo. It's totally not dead and thriving with uploads.

>be a software developer
>ask for cracked IDE instead of cracking it on your own
code monkeys these days s m h

Software development has nothing to do with cracking software.

ok thanks, i'll look into bib or some other similar trackers

devs have it easier to learn that kinda thing

looks like homosexual pajeet is replying me

Mine was randomly disabled too shortly after the site changed owners following their big hack. No stated reason, nowhere to go to ask about it.

hahahaha

wrong, Voksi claims to not know any high level languages such as c++/c# but successfully cracked denuvo.

where to get a safe pshop and illustrator, bros? or serif affinity?

sudo pacman -S gnome

Where does MTV recruit?

REDACTED

Nowhere.

What's the username of the guy who is archiving all on BTN?

I said they have it easier, not that it's completely necessary, even if you only know assembly which he probably learned himself you still need to think like a dev and recognize programming concepts like fucking function calls and know win32 api which is common knowledge for c++/delphi devs
to run games without steam you need to code a steam_api emulator, a dll replacement if you will, how the fuck is that not software development? he never did that for his denuvo cracks because he used existing ones from warez groups. I doubt he could code his own in self-taught assembly without "real" coding knowledge

-Archivist

Same guy on AB.

>ptp down
>literally have no other indexers setup in radarr

well fuck

I can't seem to find him?

RED

Neither Archivarius or -Archivist is on BTN

Then porn is.
Nofap isn't just about quitting fapping, is also about quitting porn.

yeah, true but it's more complicated I think than simply addiction to porn, it's like some hoarding OCD type shit.

First of all you said:

>to do reverse engineering you gotta know how to do forward engineering

Voksi does not know forward engineering in high level object oriented languages that these games are developed with.

Seccondly,
> he used existing ones from warez groups.

he has an extensive video cracking denuvo on youtube and he did not use anyone else's external files in the process.
