What does /a/ find bad about private trackers like AB? it seems

mostly lurking

>>156679179
only newfags care about elitism

They don't let anybody in.

>>156679179
You see Neo-/a/ hate elitism and is full of normalfags. Make me wonder why these faggots aren't just paying for CR.

>>156679268
>>156679288

>>156679179
The fact that there's an achievement system in a private trackers speaks for itself OP.

I don't have anything against it aside from the fact that I didn't know it existed untill after Nyaa got taken down. Wasn't really in to anime that much untill about two years ago and by then HorribleSubs and Nyaa took care of all my needs so I just fucked up. Just hoping that signups open up eventually so that I can get in.

I got a great ratio in other torrent communities I'm a part of (>10.5 ratio in four different communities) so I should be fine once they open up again or I get to know someone who can throw me an invite.

>>156679179
Well pretty obvious why people don't like them is nobody can get into them. I'm on a few private trackers and they are fucking awesome, but it sucks when you can't get into something.

Some would also say it really defeats the purpose of filesharing and i've seen several hypocritical things coming from private trackers. Most notably when someone releases something and says do not steal my release when they already stole it from the creators.

>>156679477
I'm the poster of >>156679446 and I disagree with that sentiment. There's a point to having private trackers, you make sure the people who are involved all contribute, by atleast seeding. A good part of the torrenting community are rather selfish in that regard which is really silly everything considered.

>>156679598
>you make sure the people who are involved all contribute
This is what I don't like about private trackers. I don't want to be forced to seed. I'm fine seeding while I have my client open downloading things but I don't want to have to keep it open just to seed.

>>156679179
I remember when they were letting literally anyone in, but I didn't care about some shitty tracker with inferior (back then) content when Nyaa and BakaBT existed or you could simply use aggregators like TT.

Now you literally need to be a normalfag to get invite on AB.
You can try making friends on MAL, join some steam groups, chat in discord or be active in facebook group. It's fucking pure cancer.

But obviously I will change my mind and think it's all fine as soon as I get invite.

>>156679598
Bakabt didn't even require registration until few weeks ago, had no punishment for low ratio and somehow on average its torrents have more seeds than AB. Explain this.

I forget to seed

So does everyone in private trackers still have a VIP or what?

>>156679778
>Bakabt didn't even require registration until few weeks ago, had no punishment for low ratio and somehow on average its torrents have more seeds than AB. Explain this.

Hard to explain to be honest, but might've had to do with it being semi-open? AB was closed and you didn't have to even make an account to download from BakaBT AFAIK.

>>156679179
>>156679350

>>156679778
>no punishment for low ratio and somehow on average its torrents have more seeds than AB. Explain this.
With no punishment for low ratio people aren't afraid to download things so more things get downloaded=more peers.

Weebs are entitled leechers.

>>156679937
I use AB and I've never used a vpn.

If anime isn't easily accessible, /a/ gets flooded with permanent newfags.

>>156679598
I understand all that, but the OP was asking why people don't like private trackers. I think private trackers are great like I said, but when you are so exclusive that no one ever gets in you have to question what you are doing. Many places have open sign ups for a week or so then close down. New people fall in line or get kicked. I really don't see a reason to permanently wall yourself off from new members for fear that everyone else out there is terrible.

This was my experience with BakaBT anyway, which is weird because everyone else claims to have astronomically bad ratios as well

>>156679902
You don't need a VPN for private trackers since they're hard to crack down. Copyright trolls most likely target the public trackers and anime streaming sites

>>156680386
I have a 0 ratio on BBT and never lost my account. I don't know what you did wrong.

>>156680372
freeleech is still ass because you have to seed for 3 days I think to avoid the hit and run.

>>156680386
When the go private last month they deleted accounts which were inactive for more than 12 months. So maybe it was it.

>>156680295
Well Afaik it's also about capacity, untill not too long ago Animebytes only had 3000 spots on their tracker, now 18000 (I think?). I guess it's a bit about costs as well and such!

>>156680467
Is there anyway to fix a bad ratio? I've been trying to donwload stuff from nyaa and seed it on bakabt, but no one ever donwloads anything.

>>156680504
What's wrong with seeing for 72 hours in total?

>>156679179
>What does /a/ find bad about private trackers like AB?
When you have good download but bad upload it feels bad not being able to seed as fast. We're still in an age where internet gets capped even in the USA.

>>156679761
Is it really that bad to have it open in the background while doing other things? It really doesn't take that much CPU power away from anything else.

>>156679446
>by then HorribleSubs

They are still around and there are still ways to access their stuff...

>>156680386
I have a 1.0 ratio it really isn't that hard just use scheduler to set times when seeding will be good. For me I left it on 24/7 on limited during day and at night I set it to unlimited. The more you download the more chances you have to seed also so look out for freeleech stuff you want.

>>156680618
Yeah they are, but they don't do some Anime movies I'm interested in like Kizumonogatari! Nor do they have some older content that I'd also like to watch eventually.

>>156680556
A small hint is to look for files that have freeleech on them and just keep it uploading. since it took 0 bytes to download it'll always be a gain even if it takes ages.

>>156680585
Isn't there a week deadline for it? I'm fine seeding when my client is open but I don't want to keep it open just for seeding.

>>156680740
72 hours.

>>156680740
Why is that a big issue? You could just limit your upload to like 300 kb and then do other things, it's not like it takes a lot of CPU or anything like that. currently my Qbittorrent is taking 0.3% of my CPU.

>>156680760
No I mean a week deadline for the 72 hours seeding. Like I'm fine building up 72 hours over how ever long it takes just having my client open but I don't want to have to keep it open just to make the 72 hours in a week mark.

>>156680846
Not at all. 72 in total.

>>156679179
Does AB let you get an old account back?

>>156679179
man if you people still think private trackers are somehow safe after nyaa, the japanese anime industry is coming and they're going to collect their dues

and if you want to make excuses try to at least remember the ones you made for why nyaa would never get taken down or why it wouldn't matter if it were

>>156680863
I was mistaken, I just checked on AB and they say you have until 4 times the min. seed time so 12 days for under 10gb but then they have the bs rule where they tack on an extra 5 hours per gb of required seeding for torrents above 10gb.

How are the japanese taking it?

I have 0 problems with private trackers

Except animebytes, because I have never managed to get a invite

>>156679179
>it seems there exists here some animosity towards the supposed 'elitism' of these 'sekrit klubs'
Are you fucking kidding me? /a/ in general is elitist. It's why spoonfeeders and people who stream are told to fuck off. Anyone upset over AB is most likely just jealous.

Fucking leech

I only dislike them because I have a shitty isp with a 250gb a month bandwidth cap so I can't download the always freeleech 1080p stuff and no one downloads the 720p stuff which makes it tough to keep a good ratio. sites like passthepopcorn have it right where you get points for seeding anything which you can convert to upload.

Up: 13.41 TB
Down: 491.98 GB

>>156681600
You know that AB has bonus points right? Just download a bunch of music and manga and live off the yen you generate.

>>156681600
>get points for seeding anything which you can convert to upload
AB has such a system as well and there is no minimum ratio to maintain. As long as you seed and don't incur hit and runs.

Burgerland trackers have nothing that you can't get elsewhere.

>all those anons that got banned earlier from public invites
RIP

>>156681665
>>156681686
ah, that's good to hear. I only knew that AB had the 1080p freeleech that is common with other sites

>>156681294
>>156680846
That deadline doesn't really matter as long as you don't have 10+ hit and runs (then you won't be able to download until you clear those hit and runs)

>>156679179
From my experience the problem is that I have shit upload so in the end one way or another I will be spending money on pirating if I were to use only private trackers; either on a seedbox or by donating for a proper ratio, I get that for some people private trackers are a thing (I use a couple myself) but for the amount of anime I download weekly (which isn't much really) I think its a but overboard to try and get into this secret club that you can only get invited to and whose community you have to stay active with in order to maintain it. I had an AB account but it was deleted due to inactivity I think. One because I didn't feel like getting a seedbox, second because once I got in I didn't know what to download that I could already get from other places without the extra hassle.

And that's why you don't deserve to be on private trackers. If you don't want to seed to at least 1:1, you deserve to be stuck on pubilic ones.

I'll never understand how you can have a bad ratio on private trackers. It's incredibly easy to maintain a >1.0 ratio.

Mostly because they force me to talk and socialize so i can get to know someone so i can enter it, which i am not only terrible at, but also hate it with a passion, there is a reason the people here are posting in an ANONYMOUS imageboard, they dont want to make friends or play the seniority game, people want to talk about animu where everyone has equal footing, only their words measuring their conversation.

Thankfully i found a tracker open right now so i will try to pry my way in quietly and efficiently

>>156682304
That's bullshit and you know it. "I want to do the right thing, but only if nobody makes me do the right thing".

>>156682449
>I want to do the right thing
No one here is paying for anything

will AB recover really old deactivated accounts?

>>156682081
Honour among thieves is a real thing, believe it or not, not everyone wants to pirate shit but do so cause of other reasons like avaibility, cost or convenience. Like if I used CR here (I pay for it, so I in some way support the creators), I can watch 3 of the current airing shows I'm interested in. I download 13 shows every week as it is now.

Couple of reasons

-Obviously, it's hard to get in if they don't feel like getting new people. But even beyond that, the idea of registering somewhere to get anime and other Japanese stuff really goes against the entire spirit of /a/
-Following that, the idea that the amount that you Torrent DL can be controlled or at least monitored until have have a certain "ratio" is also not really liked
-Then there's the fact that, as elitist as we can be, even if we can get into these sites, it's much much harder to share with others. We exercise the rule of "we don't give sauce/find things on your own" but it's hard to even exercise that when it's behind a sekrit club
-There's also the fact that, at least in terms of BakaBT, there is certain content that they willingly restrict.

And really the easiest answer, public trackers are just easier and more convenient especially reliable ones like Nyaa

>>156682449
I don't think it is. I have zero problem seeding, but I want to seed only when I have my client open downloading other things, I don't want to open my client just to seed.

>>156682759
Again, that's BS. Having your client open only to seed is literally zero effort. You're just making up excuses.

I've only ever used my AB account for Freeleech. How does this affect me?

I can still get in it since I always logged in once a month or so but I'm pretty sure my ratio is shit. How can I fix this

>>156682449
I have 8.x ratio on bakabt with several TBs uploaded and bakabt has no punishment for low ratio. I do it because I can seed. I don't care about existence of leechers as long as there are at least few seeders for any torrent.
That's how torrents always worked, not because of some retarded requirements.

>>156682836
seed the freeleach buy ratio with yen

>>156682836
AB is super easy to maintain ratio on because all currently-airing stuff is freeleech, along with 1080p BD rips, and DVDISO/BDMV

>>156682876
I'm sorry to say this but you are in the minority. I wish more people were like you and seeded simply because they can but the truth of the matter is that most don't.

>>156682876
Torrents have always worked that way when there are 20000 people downloading Photoshop or Game of Thrones or Naruto or whatever the fuck. But there's shitloads of obscure stuff that isn't always going to have the interest of a dedicated seeder

>>156682937
So just download some new episodes every now and then and I'll get a good ratio back?

I had a pretty good ratio on Bakabt but they deleted my account for being inactive I think. How do I get into private trackers when they usually ask for your ratio on another private tracker?

If you don't like the extra window open, why not try a client with a daemon + web interface? I've found it really convenient, espescially since I know my machine's internal ip (and therefore can access the web interface from my phone while at home, while cooking or whatever)

No, retarded namefag. Bakabt never punished for low ratios and didn't even need registration until few weeks ago and it has more seeders on average when AB.

>>156683006
Ratios does not help with keeping seeders for obscure staff. It's obscure, it means no one downloads it. And that means there is literally no point in seeding it since your ratio for this one torrent will be <1.0 for months. Meanwhile you can get shitton of upload from seeding something new or popular.

People always seeded obscure staff because they want to seed it, not because of some ratio requirements.

>>156681113
Ask on the irc, it depends on the situation. As long as it simply expired they might give it back.

>>156683206
Not what I meant. You are in the minority of people torrenting anime because you seed even when you don't have to. Not sure why you're insulting me for complimenting you though.

>>156683206
Lol nope it's seeded on private trackers because it has to be or it gives them points towards upload whether anyone downloads or not. On public trackers they just die.

>>156682449
but anon, doing the right thing would be buying the anime that you enjoy so much

>>156683206
>bakabt never punished for bad ratios.
What kind of special ed bullshit are you spreading. Are you autistic or something? You need a ratio over min to scrap or do without going thru the backdoor or finding that new monthly tracker. Hell you can still do that.

I don't like them because it's impossible to get in unless you know someone. All my friends are normal fags and don't have anything to do with anime.

>>156683261
>Not sure why you're insulting me for complimenting you though.

I just said that I'm not minority. There are shitton of people who seed even when they don't need to and that's why I mentioned bakabt as an example.

>>156683736
>200-300 seeds left
It doesn't mean that everyone else is a leecher. For new releases like Naruto leaving torrent even for one hour will get you ratio back. They downloaded 300 Mb, they uploaded 300 Mb. They did their job.

And 300 seeders is more than enough for any torrent. There is literally almost no difference if there are 300 seeders or 30,000. These 300 people are not obligated to stay because of ratio, they stay because they want to seed and they can keep torrent healthy.

>>156683316
>it gives them points towards upload
Those systems are very disproportional. If no one downloads your obscure stuff you need to seed for months (or even years) to substitute your lost upload with points.
Or you can just say fuck it, download something trending right now (even if you don't need it), seed it for few days, get 20 people download it from you and get shitton of ratio.

>>156684222
Sadpanda is next.

>>156684222
Except that the Sadpanda system and AB are completely different.

For sadpanda you do a 2 second google search and find out how to get in.
For AB you have to either suck dick for an invite or wait for open application(hasn't happened in at least 1-2 years) Don't try to sneakily compare them, like it's the same thing, because it clearly isn't

>>156684222
The difference is that you only need to not be retarded in order to use sadpanda. Getting into AB has very fucking different requirements.

>>156684222
Getting past the panda is done through your own actions. Getting into some private trackers requires appealing to some sperg with an over inflated ego.

I'd like to use AnimeBytes but I don't have anybody to give me an invite.
I'm also kinda worried that they'll take away my membership if I ever did make it in, because of my unspectacular Australian upload speeds.

Nyaa was really the only place I could download anime without having to be afraid of not meeting a ration quota, so now that it's gone I don't even know what to do anymore.

>>156684135
After Nyaa went down lots of people were willing to give invites to anons who have good MALs.

Or you can download whatever you need and whenever you want it. I believe you should understand the convenience of this concept.

Honestly I'd rather just pay like a $50 donation and never have to seed for a year

But how the fuck does that make the users there normalfags? They got in way before this and BakaBT happened, so I don't know how that qualifies as a normalfag.

And 1 idiot asking for MALs = The rest of the community.

>>156684341
Except after panda got more secure, a bunch of faggots cried, and we laughed because most of us had accounts already. You're the idiot who didn't apply a few years back when literally anyone with a pulse could get in. I know you all have an obsession with sucking dicks, but most of us just applied like normal people, no dick sucking required.

Anybody tried https://www.skytorrents.in ? I just tested out a search with some Casual, obscure, current and old anime and even some VNs and they seemed to have it. Is this a good temp?

>>156684931
Why is why I specifically mentioned that open application have been closed so you can't apply the normal non-dicksucking way.

>Do people leaching off of show producers legitimately get angry with people leaching off of them or is it ironic?

It's mostly a practical thing. I want torrents with good transfer speeds, and I want old torrents to be seeded for an extended period of time. Leeches impede this, thus the existence of private trackers to allow "good" users to share files amongst themselves.

The attitude isn't so much disdain for someone for being unethical, it's disdain for people who shit where they eat.

Check your spam box.

People don't download that much on AB and seedboxes get priority so normal users have harder time getting more upload. Don't worry about it though. Just let them stay active.

You made sure the right ports were open on your router so you're visible, right? There's info in the wiki on how.

Otherwise, the seeds/leechers ratio on AB is really high, so you can't expect to cover your needs with just a couple of popular torrents. (Since the vast majority of torrents don't have a single downloader at any given point in time.) Instead, broaden your base and take full advantage of the bonus point system—it's designed to prioritize coverage, not throughput.

4chan was made to have a site where everyone can do whatever they want(until a certain degree) without signing up or being controlled by mods. Over the years 4chan has over and over supported freedom online. It's always been about sharing shit and not asking for your e-peen to be sucked because nobody wants that.

A private tracker is the complete oposite of that, it's there so that retards can feel better by leaving people incapable of accessing the content they have.

If you look at Madokami you'll understand how 4chan works, it's hard to enter for newfags but it's not impossible, it's something that weeds out lazy and dumb people but at the same time is open for everyone. Meanwhile a private tracker is about invites and having friends that have an account or whatever.

This is the reason why people hate private trackers. It's the same type of circlejerk mentality you find on all kinds of websites where people aren't anonymous.
Nobody who is not a gigantic retard would want a weeaboo subhuman like yourself as friend or even associate with you on the internet.

I only want anime. I don't want to join some shitty community with disgusting people - even more so if it requires me to actually get to know them to be invited.

This.

>>156686814
You're just a moron making up excuses instead of lurking.

I support elitism, but I think this elitism should benefit the people who will contribute more to the comunity.
So the thing I do not like about most private trackers are that they close the registration process for long periods of time, at that point you are not priorizing good users, you are priorizing old users.
The best trackers are the ones that open applications once a month or so.
And don't get me started on invites.

>>156687118
>Anyone who isn't casual is autistic

Well the thing is Amazon is competing with Crunchyroll and Netflix in terms of anime streaming. Nyaa represents a threat to them.

>>156687242
I've been here since 2004 and the only anime sharing website I've ever signed up for was bakabt where I got banned after a while for not sharing enough or something. I've never needed any of these shitty communities because I'm not a moron who's too stupid to use xdcc. I'm talking principles here, and by their very nature these sorts of communities are cancerous since they give people an unwarranted feel of importance for being members of a community which they joined not by becoming accustomed with it, lurking and fitting in, but by sucking the dick of some faggot on irc and being invited.

>>156687366
Pray tell then, how exactly do you get invited besides sucking a lot of dick?

First you need invites.

Second upload rules.

>>156687421

Download freeleech torrents (anything that's in 1080p) then just keep them open for Yen. The AB bonus point system is really generous, particularly combined with nearly everything on the site being available freeleech. Don't worry about your actual ratio on individual torrents, AB is most about time seeded.

It won't take that long to get a buffer so big that you don't have to worry about the occasional torrent that isn't available for freeleech.

>A private tracker is the complete oposite of that, it's there so that retards can feel better by leaving people incapable of accessing the content they have.

Its a private community to hopefully prevent takedown (it did shits for wcd, but they got way too big), as well as maintain seeders on non-seasonal and less popular content. On Nyaa you'd be lucky if there was 1-2 guy still seeding an older show's batch, and have fun going back to IRC if there is no batch. Content wise, it literally is all shits from Nyaa reuploaded there.

Before What.CD went down, you literally just apply there then go into the invite forum, low tier trackers like AB and jpopsuki are given out no question ask. WhatCD required you to answer a few basic questions about torrenting/audio quality to make sure you weren't a complete retard who'd upload shitty youtube rip or just snatch then H&R

There are people who actually believe this.

what.cd's interview was fucking retarded. There were a couple questions that were for sure opinions. I got mad the first time I was rejected and never bothered to retry

People who are desperate for jpopsuki can sit the Redacted.ch interview and hit PU for it.

The fact that we're talking about interviews is probably proving our point right now OP

A few years ago we told a shit load of people to get into the tracker scene via animebytes because it was the easiest but none of those people actually liked anime and were using it to get into the most desired trackers what.cd, BTN and PTP.

>>156689981
With What.cd you didn't need Jpopsuki because it was the biggest library of music on the internet.

With BTN you didn't need animebytes because it had anime and TV.

With PTP it was the biggest collection of movies on the internet.

Of course animebytes has grown a bit since then.

>>156689180
It has the popular/translated shits, that's about it. OK if you were an EoP, not so much otherwise.

>>156689828
AB has open application a lot of the times, they give out invites everywhere, and overall is very easy to get in. There's some very picky trackers that literally require dick sucking and a pretty big upload log just to be considered.

>>156689981
what.cd is for music. BTN and PTP are largely 3dpd shits

You're comparing AB to higher tier trackers, though. I'm not saying AB is a top tracker, although it might be now, but it's up there, at least.

Many trackers are not ratioless. So you have people with seed boxes only who are able to freely download things, since the bittorrent protocol will favor a seed with a good UL connection over someone with a shit connection.

Having to login to download things isn't a huge hurdle, many sites have simple barriers before even letting you download their free trail software. People are also lazy and don't want to contribute to the swarm, let them use XDCC, p2p or mega.

Leaving your weekly episodes to seed for months on end just isn't the way most people operate their home connections, so on a private tracker they'd be doubly fucked.

I say this as someone who used to get things from eztv, tpb etc and eventually moved to btn. If it wasn't ratioless, I would be fucked and not worth my interest.

Private trackers are not 'hard' to get into people, you just need some time (which you already have since you download shit, just let it seed for a couple days) to let your shit seed so you have proof that you won't just hit and run, it goes against what the protocol is meant to be for and about.

Who /setforlife/ here?

Give me a good reason why I should invite you to AB.

>>156690316
>Redacted

Dear god, cabal faggots are everywhere.
And most of these aren't even good.

>>156690088
Literally before What.CD went down and made everyone paranoid, you just apply for an invite there (quick basic interview on torrenting and audio quality/encoding), go into their invite forum and ask for an AB/Jpopsuki invite. Takes about a day at most. Right now everyone closed their door because they're scared shitless from the wcd raid, and for AB Nyaa's possible death.

>>156690169

I just tried randomly with Oretsuba (highly rated kamige on EGS), only the anime showed up

>>156690371
I have a good personality

>just got warned on AB for inviting my cousin
>"Reason: No public invitation"
The fuck? I didn't do shit and they gave me 4 weeks warning.

>>156690397
So you actually can't get an invite.

>>156679350
>Make me wonder why these faggots aren't just paying for CR.

I'm not American, they have like 8 shows here, and the fansub scene is nonexistent because it killed itself out of pure greed and no passion whatsoever for what they were doing.

>>156687580
>using their brains.
Making e-friends or begging for invites is using one's brain?

Anyone's got a good seedbox service to recommend? I can't seed with my current internet (shit speed and limited bandwidth) and I got an invite to AB.

I'm willing to pay 5-15$/month.

>>156690424
Maybe don't do fucking public invitation, retard. I doubt your cousin will upload anything. He's just gonna do hit and runs.

Why is inviting a friend any better than inviting a random? If anything it'd be worse for ratios since you'd be giving your friend more leniency.

Wow truly genius.

I know we have the new databse but how exactly do I find magnet hashes?

You can pull up cached versions of things through google but where do you get the magnets from?

>>156690541
I've been on private trackers before 4chan even existed, anon.

I have accounts on most privates trackers, except for AoM

>>156690530
Reading comprehension much?

I said I invited my cousin. Nothing more, nothing less.

>>156690530
I have the $7 one with seedhost. Haven't had any problems with it and the FTP transfer speeds are good.

>>156690397
Try searching with the Hentai search on this time

>tfw infinite invites on AB
>tfw literally 0 invitees

It hurts.

>>156690551
I've just lodged a staff request.

And I just hope they don't actually mean only "friends" are allowed, not relatives.

>>156690677
I have no irl fiends that download anime. They all stream. I showed him image comparisons and he said it wasn't worth the hassle for such a minor difference in quality. Now with nyaa down it definitely wouldn't be worth the hassle for him.

>>156679179
I'm just mad that I was never able to get an invite. I do have a BakaBT account, though, so I guess there's that.

>>156690561
What I'll say might be a bit controversial, but isn't the purpose of fansubs to get anime into an audience that would otherwise never get into it due to companies not willing to invest in it? If that's the case, then when most shows are being officially released and translated into that market, isn't the job of fansubs basically done at that point aside from more obscure shows who don't get released in the west?

>paying for anime when the majority of the money doesn't go to the creators
Yes, I know, but places like HS which you guys shit on so much for not being fansubs provide it for free internationally. Do you really need fansubs if and when anime gets so popular that nearly every show is released over here officially? What for, putting memes in subs?

>>156690547
>>156690675
I fucked up and retract my prior statement.

4chan was the youth counterculture that stuck a middle finger to usi. Now some of you have gotten old and became what was once parodied

>>156690839
fansubs are made by cliques for cliques

>>156689349
Same here. I'm pretty sure I can reactivate my AB, but it'd be too obvious atm. Maybe in a couple of weeks or so.

How do you get rid of a H&R? I haven't gotten one yet because I've been a good boy and kept seeding all my snatches properly, but what happens if I, say, get arrested for an unrelated crime the day after I finished downloading a torrent and only get released two weeks later and my PC was turned off all this time and I get a H&R? If I keep seeding after that and eventually pass the required seeding time period, does the H&R gets removed, or do I need to pay off an admin with my yen or something?

>>156690476
You won't get shit by begging, retard.

I'm too paranoid of a nazi mod pruning me as part of some kind of illegitimate newfag wave. I was pretty shit at maintaining ratio and it got deactivated because I just stopped seeding.

>>156691052
>If I keep seeding after that and eventually pass the required seeding time period, does the H&R gets removed
Yes, you can also pay yen. You don't pay it to an admin, it's an automated system thing.

>>156691059
By begging, I mean applying to some private track that has open applications to build up a ratio and proof that you have the capacity and determination to seed. Said begging would then, I imagine, take place in that private tracker's message board where recruiters from other private trackers sometimes go.
I don't want to play that game. Fuck people. I just want my anime ;_; I will seed though because that's easy

>>156691150
Wasn't me, but I do agree with you that there's no harm doing it now.
