there is no class restricted forum. users offer/request invites in the offers forum.

When you are on ReTaRdeD seeding 0 1 0 style.

The original name was clearly chosen exactly so they could piggyback off of PassThePopcorn's integrity and popularity to begin with. They had no right to do that in the first place, because, as the announcement states, they are completely unrelated. It was a cheap move, they should have changed it much much earlier. Don't deal with these people, they have no morals.

>>59051502
I seriously wonder why they're not going with flacsfor.me and the logo of a cute creature/charachter hugging a CD or something as mascotte

and a relatively simple logo in a nice font saying "flacsfor.me"

just look at how WCD and APL did their logo, it was simple but it worked

>>59051554
All of the nice names up for consideration had been redacted.

It's now harder to get into APL than (RED)™

>>59051554
also FFM as a godlike abrevation... The dream is dead dear anon.

I think they dont want any music context in the name. They could have gone with ducksfor.me and its better than redacted. Anything is, really.

>>59051554
Because that site address is already taken, retard.

This also demonstrates why there was no vote on this name change. If they posted a list of potential names then some internet shitlord could register them all and ruin the whole thing.

Is it worth bidding for a seedbox on BTN? I have tons of points I've had no use for for a while now but I feel like if I get a free seedbox for a month I'll get used to it and won't want to not renew it when the month is up.

invite me to PTP pls

>>59051554
I think they're trying to use a different domain for their site, tracker and IRC server so that if one gets seized or is having problems for whatever reason users can access one of the others and find out what is going on.

they don't recruit from at least 2 trackers that you mentioned there

>>59051920
Because they already made flacsfor.me the tracker and it would be annoying to force everyone to update all their seeding torrents.

>PTP is over 5000 users over their maximum user count
How did this happen

>>59051920
it's too late to change the tracker url when there are over 800k torrents. plus they already did it once

>>59051936
one tracker 3 names and many unofficial ones.

Wow, RETARDED staff just made an announcement that they are going to start banning without warning anyone who complains about the name from this point foraward.

Still its hypocritical if you look at the forums.

User comes, posts and says PTH was ugly everyone backs him up.

Another user comes, posts that the new name is stupid, ends up being mocked by several users.

Go look im not making this up. Black on white.

I could probably win one if I wanted to, got hundreds of millions of points lying around, no use for them since I don't feel like grinding the retarded amounts of snatches I'd need for any more promotions.

But I just question the use of buying a seedbox I can only use for one month, I feel like I'd just get used to the convenience and then at the end of the month either feel terrible having to go back or be tempted to renew (probably the entire point of the seedbox company participating in this) when I'm perfectly happy without one right now.

If you took a FLAC audio file, used it to transcode a 320kbps MP3 file, and then repeatedly transcoded the 320kbps MP3 file into another 320kbps MP3 file, after doing this thousands of times would the sound eventually turn to complete mush?

One thing I'm still not sure about however is how could they tell if you, for example, used a 320kbps to transcode a V2, how would you be able to tell this? I understand that it is inferior to a lossless-to-lossy encode, but surely this would be nigh on impossible to distinguish in the spectral or aurally.

Dude you are saying dumb shit here. Even on a South Park episode you can clearly see the difference between a 720p & a 1080p.

Hi Folks,

BTN is ratioless, and clearly very successful. So when we see new trackers like RED/PTH, etc, turn up with ratios, it kind of blows my mind that we're still using an antiquated method like that.

Ratios generally require a zero-sum reality, and life just isn't like that. Not only that ratio trackers make the users feel less interested in trying new things because of the "cost" of such things, and then they need to do a return-on-investment consideration. "If I download this, will I ever get ratio back for it?". Chances are, if it's a low popularity item, you will never get ratio back for it.

This all seems very counter-productive to the whole sharing culture we've built for ourselves here.

I think ratioless is the way to go. What do you guys think?

Not all sources show the difference between 1080p and 720p.

Kek. Should swap out the regular skull and replace it with the misfits logo to make it even edgier.

>>59054407
If you look at the audio spectral, you will notice blocks, which is the artifact that you are hearing. The more an mp3 is transcoded, the bigger the blocks get (and the more noticeable the artifact is). Even a single transcode is noticeable with any decent pair of headphones.

If there's a cutoff at 20 khz with no shelf, what does that mean?

>>59054490
Ratios don't require a zero-sum reality because you can operate with variations. Freeleeches, freeleech picks, and freeleech tokens all ensure that every user could potentially have a >1 ratio. Furthermore, the tracker doesn't even require a >1 ratio, there are different standards depending on how much you downloaded but the maximum possible minimum requirement on RED is only 0.6, and that's only for people who've downloaded a lot who should probably be contributing a fair chunk back too. On top of this, they also give a newbie buffer to get started which I believe was 5GB but I may be mistaken.

I would rather see them do it differently, but they're doing it like this because that's how WCD won the previous music tracker war, and they're scared of rocking the boat since this is the only way they can guarantee results. When WCD did this no one would have dreamed a ratioless tracker could be successful, of course BTN has proved that's they can well be, but no one has proved it with a music tracker and probably never will. The only one I can think of is Libble which is for all intents and purposes a dead and pointless tracker.

>>59054303
HDB only allows one internal of each quality, so if a different group beats them to the 1080p they won't do it unless a proper is needed.

>>59054490
A ratioless system would never work on a tracker like RED, just sain'.
Maybe on APL.

You guys checked out this autistic Blu-ray audio blog?

>But there are more important issues to discuss, unfortunately. Although both the TVP and Arrow blu-rays play at 25 fps, they are pitched ~0.7 semitones apart -- the Arrow disc higher and the TVP lower.

>The Criterion discs play ~0.7 semitones lower than the TVP (so ~1.4 lower than the Arrow).

>>59054490
As my music taste became more obscure, I found myself having to download and seed mainstream stuff I didn't want to listen to because it became impossible to maintain ratio downloading low interest musicians.

There are lots of releases that have a DON 720p encode but no 1080p by anybody.

Anyone know where the TehC recruiter is for MAM? Been offline for a while now.

How to ready an upload to PTH on Windows:

@echo off
flac --decode lossless.flac
:loop
lame --preset cbr 320 lossless.wav lossless.mp3
lame --decode lossless.mp3
goto loop

Let that run for about an hour and then convert the wav back to flac. Create the torrent and upload.

We got a mention on /r/trackers!

Hi, Weaponized_Pencils!

>>59054490
Ratioless works for BTN as there is a limited supply of tv and thus users do not need to have that many torrents seeded in order for the whole sites torrents to be available. With BTN around 19000 torrents can be spread across 34k users. On [retarded] the average user needs to seed over 40 torrents to keep all of the torrents alive on the site.

Ratio based doesn't seem to work well, so maybe some system that requires a seed size * rarity factor to download ratio to be maintained at all time could work. The required ratio system sucks because you can't advance user classes just from maintaining a large seed size without downloads.

I'd love to see a non-curry tracker try this

>>59054782
I think point systems that increment based on how long you seed stuff are good to encourage retention. BTN's system would be a good example if its already being ratioless didn't make it mostly irrelevant.

Lot of people don't like point systems though because they feel it invalidates their investment in seedboxes and shit.

>>59054490
Anon has liked this post

>>59054951
Eh, I think this kind of system just encourages you to perma-seed a few large things from the start, and then fuck everything else because it's never going to accrue as many points as your earlier snatches. AB/PTP style point system is good enough.

>>59055304

I just looked it up and it looks like tracker for faggots and PC people.

>no insults (proceeds to classify the insults in 5 types and list the severity and penalty of each)
>no comments that could be constituted as trolling by someone
>no piracy...
>do not mention other private trackers (because everyone would flock there instead of staying in that cuckshed)
>3 levels of "language infractions" in the IRC

>list of forbidden authors a la BakaBT

Why would anyone use this shit? These rules are harder than in most trackers.

PTP should change their named to Bluedacted to signify their close relationship.

>>59054635
1080p releases are 4x as hard to create

>>59055710
That shouldn't be an issue for a group like DON who are supposedly concerned with producing high quality encodes. If they take longer to create then so be it.

what's the approximate conversion equivalent between bits on RED vs. bits on APL? (i.e 10 bits UL on APL = 3 bits on RED), for instance?

Are the logcheckers on RED and APL equivalent?

web or bluray?

>>59055817
No.

>>59055817
no. RED has a better one

>>59055801
What the fuck are you talking about?
>>59055817
No, WCD kept the code behind their logchecker private so RED and APL have both constructed them from scratch. I don't know enough about it to be sure but I'm fairly confident that they're very similar.

>>59055820

I can't remember, is it RED that allows vinyl rips without lineage or APL? If I upload a vinyl rip without lineage to RED all that means is that it is trumpable by one with lineage, right?

>>59056042
Stuff like

Unless otherwise stated here is the technical info on my vinyl rips:

Turntable: VPI Scoutmaster with Trans-Fi Terminator Air Bearing Linear Tracing Tonearm

Cartridge: Audio-Technica AT33PTG

Phono Preamp: Pro-Ject TubeBox

Soundcard: E-MU 1212

All rips are recorded in full 192khz resolution and then resampled to 44/24 for manual click repair.

They are then dithered to standard redbook 16bit/44khz

I use IzotopeRX Advanced for all resampling/dithering

Damn. Why do people even download vinyl rips? I am genuinely perplexed by the logic.

>>59056099
no. but if it's a shit rip it'll still get trumped by a better one even if it has lineage

>>59056143
Because some stuff was never released on other media

>>59056143
They think it sounds better, but then some albums were never reissued on CD.

>>59056143
cause there is a lot of music released only on vinyl. or for a different mastering sometimes

>>59056161
OK I understand that logic don't get me wrong, I'm talking about the situation where there's a CD rip available.

>>59056161
Because it's 24bit and it's a easy 100% perfect rip

>>59056171
you can get it on 24bit from vinyl

24bit is placebo, faggots

>>59056171
Some people prefer the sound that you get from a vinyl record. It is generally warmer and has a high dynamic range. It is by no means the perfect sound.

whats the difference between transcoding using foobar, dbpoweramp or command line?

>>59056171
sometimes the vinyli is mastered better, cd masters since 90s tend to boost volume into clipping
