/ptg/ - Private Tracker General

>>57918172
Instead of trying to find ways to encourage activity they seem hell bent on doing the opposite. Just about every user who's joined since freeleech ended has fuckall buffer so it's not like they can really snatch anything. If they do snatch things it will never get them any upload back unless they're gaming the top 10. Even uploading new content doesn't get you anything most of the time. Most torrents only have a single seeder because of all this

Meanwhile staff is making it hard to get anywhere. They've basically confirmed they won't be doing picks, and even if they do the picks will probably be neutral leech instead of freeleech. The site has no proper economy yet and they're already finding ways to fuck it up worse than WhatCD

Oh and before you say I'm butthurt, I have plenty of buffer. I'm mainly pissed because staff is completely squandering the site's potential

What is the general rule for registering on private trackers? Do you use throwaway gmail for invite and then reg on the site on another email?

>>57918361
any wcd alternatives yet? i've been out of the loop

>>57918376
Agreed 100%. I've uploaded 50 torrents so far, but I'm going to stop until they get their shit together. I'll abuse the holiday freeleech just like everyone else and gain enough buffer to last me for the entire lifespan of the site, but that doesn't change the fact that the economy is fucked up.

fuck off
they just want to be a carbon copy of wcd and that wont work because wcd had 150k members constantly downloading and uploading not just people uploading all their music then not downloading anything because they have everything they want already, not to mention 10k people does not an economy make.

lmao.

>>57918417
Kek, I had 200GB buffer using a 400KB home connection. I actually got 100GB a month at one point but stopped because I was scared.

1. Write a script that scrapes freeleech. No, not the api, but the logs (against site rules but I found a loophole)
2. Have your torrent program connected to the scraper. I just made the scraper write to an RSS file and have utorrent read it.
3. Enjoy your dozens of free GBs of month.

>Instead of trying to find ways to encourage activity they seem hell bent on doing the opposite.

>Just about every user who's joined since freeleech ended has fuckall buffer so it's not like they can really snatch anything.
Yeah my friend joined and is new to trackers, it's not going to be very useful for him. I think the answer for other people is to cross seed their old WCD torrents or from APL. 95% of the torrents are the same. I'm seeding ~450 torrents right now there and making about a GB per day in my seedbox, but home connections I doubt this would be even close to the case. Maybe 100MB? Maybe?


>Even uploading new content doesn't get you anything most of the time. Most torrents only have a single seeder because of all this
Those with just one seeder on their torrents are a bit silly considering you can use the "snatch this" thread. But yeah, even that is forced and not a natural economy. On WCD my torrents took a long time to get snatched too though.

> They've basically confirmed they won't be doing picks, and even if they do the picks will probably be neutral leech instead of freeleech.
Yeah, I read that in the forums. The staff picks were what made WCD possible for me to use. I realize it's silly for people to grab a bunch of shit they won't listen to, but, I would have had a really hard time on WCD without that which would have meant the rest of the economy would have been bad since that buffer is what I'd use to snatch what I really wanted.

>Oh and before you say I'm butthurt, I have plenty of buffer. I'm mainly pissed because staff is completely squandering the site's potential
Nah, I'm thinking along similar lines. I used the FL to get over a terabyte of buffer so I feel ridiculous but hey at least I kept my stuff seeding. It's sad that on average only 80 torrents are seeding per person after that giant freeleech.

You can't autodl freeleech torrents because no torrents are marked as freeleech when they are uploaded, when they get announced in the IRC channel. They get marked as freeleech some time later on, usually during staff picks.

aka, I talked with 312c and other cabal cucks on irc

>>57918469
They turned off freeleech in the API because it was bogging down the site.

The problem with freeleech in the API was there was no way to sort by the date that the freeleech became active, so you had to check every single torrent on the website.

However, if you go to what.cd/log.php?search=freeleech you can see all the freeleeches.

I just wrote a script that ran in my browser, that would check the page every 2 minutes and I'd leave the browser window open on my PC 24/7 if I could.

It is as if the PTH staff is holding off from making any major announcements while APL's sitewide FL is still going on. When APL's FL looks like it is about to end, they extend it anyways! Masterful trolling by APL's staff.

>and as awareness of the lack of ratio requirement until 20GB

Great idea, snatch 20GB straight off the bat and fuck your ratio so hard you'll end up in ratio watch before you have a chance. I'm thinking most users will snatch a couple things and then sit on it forever until they get upload (but this is PTH so they won't get upload)

Maybe this would work if they gave you 20GB of tokens or something and made them expire

>>57918470
>Nah, I'm thinking along similar lines. I used the FL to get over a terabyte of buffer so I feel ridiculous but hey at least I kept my stuff seeding. It's sad that on average only 80 torrents are seeding per person after that giant freeleech.

Likewise, I gained close to a TB from FL, uploaded the requisite amount to make it to TM, so I'm /setforlyfe/.

However, I also recognize that a healthy tracker needs new users that are willing to contribute. If enough of these users feel frustrated with the current tracker economy, then they will go elsewhere.

And before some idiot says, "Why don't you do your part," I'll just say that I've been helping those on ratio watch and been downloading uploads from those I invited.

The restaurant is Apollo. Sofia Vergara is me. The abundance of spaghetti and meatballs represent the torrents I'm currently seeding and downloading. Out of frame, shitting in the middle of the street, is the currynigger PtH shill that's going to respond to this post with "xanax staff identified".

pth can still be saved with a well placed freeleech, maybe something like FL for single seeded torrents, what.cd had one of those and it worked pretty good
but honestly if they don't do something about the economy the site is as good as dead, just top uploaders circlejerking forever

The funny thing is i remember when APL doesnt have the sitewide FL yet while PTH just finished theirs, the APL forum is filled with people complaining about shit economy.

Question is now what happens post freeleech? Will the APL community in all their curry wisdom would still download everything with their buffers unlike pth jews, or will it result in the same shit economy?

I'm betting on the former desu

>>57918667

>>57918849
No need for separate one for invites only?

>>57918831
Should've created a better system and written better rules.

The answer to Automation (seedboxes) is Basic Income. Give every user a set amount of buffer to spend at the beginning of every month, and the economy will be fixed. This free buffer resets at the end of every month, and cannot be hoarded.

It's not about buffer, it's the fact that sites with trash economy usually don't have a lot of leechers and BTN and AB which actually have decent economy are bad enough when it comes to that. My connection is massively under utilized. I get maybe 1-2TB a month in upload at the best of times and it's just not good enough.

Yeah we've got a Waffles/WCD situation brewing where PTH is Waffles and APL is WCD.

Freeleech has been going on for a little under 8 days now and will stretch to 11 days, 8 hours in total _at a minimum_. If APL users upload another ~8k perfect FLACs in the next ~60 hours, they'll extend FL another day. Additional 18k will get them 2 days, 28k gets them 3.

Most folks have already ripped everything they wanted during the initial 7 day period, not knowing if APL would give any bonus time. It's slowed a bit, users are pyramiding now.

#recruitment
irc.apollo.rip

Google around and find out the process for what.cd's interview and you should be fairly set for APL.

If you were a wcd member and still have 1. your invite email or 2. a password reset email, APL staff has been considering those during recruitment interviews as well.

>>57919580
>You're confusing Apollo with PTH
PTH is already recruiting on HDB, BTN and PTP You would naturally expect those trackers to also recruit on PTH in the future

>>57919407
who is this reprobate and why aren't they seeding

>>57919715
Only email I have left is one warning me about inactivity...in 2011.

I think the major thing that some people are "missing", is the fact that PTH only has, what, 10K users, with a small minority uploads the huge swaths. WCD has 150K.

Bring more people in, more people downloading? Isn't it that simple?

>>57919696
Probably because that doing that would require either marking everything as freeleech in the database or changing every stylesheet. The second way doesn't sound terrible but I imagine everyone who can do that without fucking it up is busy making new themes.

>>57919759
They would only be able to download 1.5GB

>>57919759
they don't want common folk

>>57919744
wcd did a site-wide password reset in like Jan of 2016, how do you not have that?

>>57918361
That second comment makes me depressed.

>>57919789
Because some people delete emails they don't need anymore. Shocking, I know, but it happens.

>>57919774
Well, I'd hope not yet. WCD had, what I'd assume were a shitload of common folk, who downloaded a bit of music here and there, and not totally all over the damn place in downloading stuff out the ass.

I knew a few people on WCD that used it super casually, but they downloaded obscure stuff with only a couple seeds, so I still feel it'd be a good idea to bring in more people with varied tastes and interests.

Any good trackers for arts & crafts stuff?

>>57919515
does anyone know who the apollo sysops are? who are they are where did they come from? who set up the site and tracker?

>>57919812
So you're SOL there. Just straight interview

They're "friends" of the SCC sysops.

APL just started getting Power Users. There is no IRC for Power Users yet. Staff obviously has more things to worry about than class channels/forums. No real tracker is extending out real recruitment via APL yet anyway while they go through their initial growth here.

CUT AND PASTE FROM APL WIKI
>At the top it says: Pending Staff approval. This is more or less how it was on WCD, without the gloating names for the user classes. PU requires 10 instead of 5 uploads, because we want the site to grow fast.

User

Standard class for all new members.


Member

Has uploaded 10+ GiB and has 0.65+ ratio, and been here at least 1 week. Promotion is automatic when these conditions are met. Is automatically demoted to User when ratio drops below 0.60.

Can make requests.


Power User (PU)

Has uploaded 25+ GiB and has 1.05+ ratio, and been here at least 2 weeks. Has also uploaded 10+ torrents. Promotion is automatic when these conditions are met. Is automatically demoted to Member when ratio drops below 0.95 or the total sum of torrents uploaded drops below 10 or the Upload drops below 25 GiB.

Can use Advanced Search and can access Invites and PU forums and IRC channels. Receives invites twice a month.


Elite (E)

Has uploaded 50+ GiB and has 1.05+ ratio, and been here at least 4 weeks. Has also uploaded 50+ torrents. Promotion is automatic when these conditions are met. Is automatically demoted to Member when ratio drops below 0.95. Is automatically demoted to Power User when the number of torrents uploaded drops below 50 or the Upload drops below 50 GiB.

Perks: same as lower classes, plus can access Elite forums and IRC channels. Receives more invites than PU.

>>57919817
There's an argument for keeping it exclusive in the beginning, certainly Apollo's moderators can't keep up with all the dupes and categorization issues that come with having 25k users all actively uploading. The question is whether their egos and "consultants" are too big to open up interviews.

Yes, I totally stand behind having it exclusive for now, especially as proper classifications and proper, actual 100%s are uploaded.

There's still a ton of shit to fix on PTH though, but definitely less so than APL

What would it take for a site like not what, NST, or waffles to become a key player?

So LB is recruiting on PTP Elite huh

>>57919854
>>57919866
>>57919890

>>57919942
They're not coming back, anon-senpai.

They ran off with everyone's buttcoins. We'll never hear from them again.

>>57919728
So is Apollo. Shit, the cofounder of BTN joined Apollo 2 days ago.

>>57919880
It's simple. You use the FL to pump the site full. After FL ends you use staff + dedicated users to clean out the shit. I started getting a steady stream of tracker errors on my seedbox yesterday -- they're starting to work through it.

They're going to have an extremely dedicated staff after this, and a good set of trusted users to build off. I'm sure we'll meme the fuck outta APL but they're going to be just fine. PTH has to grow eventually as well. APL did it in a hurry, PTH took their time

>>57919890
Not sure if haste, camdo, GlobeX or who... Guess I'll have to mark you

>>57919942
Yeah tough news there, you'll wait forever

PTH is run by the PTP folks so you know that lineage, if that's something you care enough about (which you clearly do)

who else /pure/ here

>>57919933
Even WCD had tons of issues with classification once you started looking at artists with non-ASCII names. Returning to a similar state to WCD can be done on both sites, but would require much less work on PTH.

>>57919961
yeah, this is just shaking hands at this point

the reverse will come in time, once the trackers are to be trusted

>>57920012
I meant more improper catalogue/label/release naming. A lot of torrents that are labelled as vinyl, or incorrect CD releases, as examples.

hi CaptainK

>>57919963
There's plenty of room for APL staff to fuck up and fail to build a competent team, just as there's room for PTH to never build an active user base. I'm more bearish on both sites for now.

>>57918892
so basically freelech tokens?

>>57920454

>I don't have any private tracker history and am not super interested in going through numerous hoops to register.
i have some bad news for you. basically, almost everything is on lockdown.
the tracker you want is animebytes, but they haven't had open applications for a while now. there were some sites that had open apps/interviews which could lead into AB, but they are either gone or closed.
take the interview for myanonamouse (trivial) and seed some stuff there for bonus points, rank up to power user, try your luck in their invite forum. they don't have much official recruitment, but people give out invites sometimes (which is allowed there)
worst case scenario, you have to go through 2-3 trackers to eventually get to AB (starting from scratch)

Ok thanks. That looks rather tedious, but I guess it might be useful to get on a couple trackers, if only for posterity.

t. pth_trash

>>57920660
BakaBT allows 1 release per series, AB allows as many as you can find. AB has a better selection of both music and anime, it has no banned series list like BakaBT.

Download speeds are probably higher too, but I haven't downloaded anything from bakabt for years. All I know is that I easily get 30MB/s download on AB.

have any lads heard anything about waffles coming back? any news?

>>57920682
>he unironically uses apooloo

>>57920660
Well there's a whole collage on AB for shit that's banned from BakaBT so it's definitely got more content

>>57920660
no banned licensing shit
most of the stuff on bakabt is on ab + more, bonus point system, japanese music, some ''''internals'''' (pretty much 'this hasn't got a encode and i know how to use handbrake')
it's not essential, but it's better.

You're seriously so bad at this

Interesting that a WEB release in FLAC is considered a "perfect FLAC" - I'm wondering if some people would abuse this just to inflate the perfect flac numbers (i.e. deliberately naming a CD-rip without log "WEB").
