Opinions on UltimateGamer.Club?
Is it a good private tracker for gamers?
>>54230285
I prefer GGn.
>>54230285
It's alright as a backup for GGN I suppose. Good layout and all that. Mods have come here before acting a bit desperate though.
>>54230285
aesthetic but I prefer bcg right now
maybe when they get better it'll be viable but as of now don't bother getting an account
>>54230273
That is a legit good movie my friend, now I'm jelly
>>54230291
>>54230302
GGn is fucking trash
Is it considered 'exclusive' these days? They've got nothing
>>54230303
BCG is like an uglier version of pre-botnet BG but I guess that's the best gamers get these days
>>54230302
Yeah, I kind of feel bad. I mean, they said they don't even take donations because they do it for the people.
>>54230328
>BCG is like an uglier version of pre-botnet BG but I guess that's the best gamers get these days
Yeah, that's what I feel.
I guess gamers don't really have a private tracker home nowadays.
>>54230328
>GGn is fucking trash
It covers all my needs, besides it's Gazelle and doesn't looks like shit like the other top gaming trackers.
It's been a couple of months since last site crash so it seems they fixed everything now.
>>54230375
Which would you say is better for retro or obscure games?
I miss Underground Gamer.
OP, thanks for removing those old and worthless pastebins
How do I search on empornium? Like it literally doesn't give me anything close to what I searched for
>>54230328
BCG is actually a pretty good tracker considering it's a gaming tracker but the fucking technical info and lack of guides and shit is horrifying
HDB tells you how to set up a home cinema so you can enjoy their stuff whereas BCG has people upload stuff and wait for people in the comments to figure it out
>inb4 but its easy
Yeah but if you upload 3ds cia games then post a 3ds hacking guide on the front page to help your users out
>>54230420
They're in the wiki anyway so I figure there's no need for the redundancy
>>54230422

I guess GGn has better retention. RetroWithin it's another one dedicated to retrogaming.

The site doesn't look bad, it's just seriously lacking content. That's not the staff's fault but it's not very interesting, at least for consoles
>>54230417

>>54230475

>>54230443
what if I only know the title?
>>54230520
Then use pornolab.
>>54230520
Search the title and mark "all" to match the exact phrase. its a pain in the ass to search on emp
>>54230491
>Superher for Windows
I don't know what game that is but probably not. Very little Win9x there in general.
If you like console/arcade/old PC games and prefer them in huge-ass fucking sets to fill up your HDDs, PD is the place for you. It's all about sharing of fullsets
>>54230492
Indeed
>>54230422
Title search isn't useless, it functions exactly as it should, if you search for all titles with the name XXX it WILL find all titles with that present in the title.
What doesn't work very well is the default search at the top of the site called 'search torrent' or 'search terms'.
Loading up on BBC porn. I love emp freeleech.
Is there a way to mass create thumbnails for videos in a folder?
>>54230969

Should udp be disabled or does it not matter?
>>54231032
Assuming you're using Loonix just type that command in terminal and it'll make the thumbnails
>>54231095
I'm not, but I need thumbnails for like several thousand video files, not sure how to do this effectively.
>>54230994
>Friendly reminder to use a different username on each tracker

What now? Why are you on /ptg/ without at least one tracker that mirror's BTN's episodes? Torrentshack is the place to be for easy, ratioless downloading of BTN episodes.

the first thing I'm going to do when I join HDB is become an uploader for based IPT and mirror their internals directly to IPT
Finally got an animebytes invite, in the midst of redoing my whole setup.
I want to move my seedbox closer to me. Currently using an offshore provider, but it's so far away and I get 400KB/s transfer from that box to home.
Got a dedi box in a DC in my home town, but I'm not sure if I want it downloading in my same jurisdiction.
Should I use a vpn to gain some seperation? I have spare connections on pia, so I see little reason not to aside from lower speed transfers.

>>54231962

no that show is not really interesting enough to web-dl
>>54231962
WEB-DLs are shit, webrips are better if they're done by reputable groups.
But yes trackers get them almost immediately after they get posted. There are people who buy them and up them in minutes.
If you want to start a new game in the private tracker RPG then I have a bit of advice for you
1. Take the WCD interview and the AB app, these are the best way to start out in private trackers
2. Do NOT accept invites from anyone, EVER. Only get invites from official recruitment threads
3. These threads are shit and people will not help you and give you bad advice. The links in the OP are still good, mostly.
4. Seriously this thread is shit do not listen to it, get a second opinion even on this advice.

I've never seen a webrip that didn't look like complete shit, which groups actually produce something watchable?

>>54232072
>I've never seen a webrip that didn't look like complete shit, which groups actually produce something watchable?
Any group from HDBits or BTN will produce high quality webrips. They also have better cappers than scene and if a p2p group from HDB or BTN does an HDTV encode it'll look a hell of a lot better than scene shit.

If they're just screen recording a Flash/Silverlight video player I don't see how that'd end up looking better than iTunes, then again I'm not getting in anytime soon so I guess I won't be finding out for a while.
And yeah obviously scene HDTV releases will look better since they don't have the stupidly low file size restrictions and racing that the scene works with, but when the broadcast quality is shit to begin with pumping up the bitrate only helps up until a certain point.

Hi 4chan, reddit here. How are you doing?
>>54232169
>nobody is /ghostleeching/ on IPT kid
kek, if anything IPT is probably the most ghostleeched tracker right now because of how stupid their staff is. If you want to /ghostleech/ easily, you do it on IPT.
>>54232164
>If they're just screen recording a Flash/Silverlight video player I don't see how that'd end up looking better than iTunes
They are not. A webrip these days means you are doing a lossless capture from Netflix or Hulu using a streaming box like a PS3 or Nvidia Shield. They even do 4K rips now that look just as they do on the service itself.
>>54232190

As long as private trackers grow, change, die, arise, we will have plenty to discuss.

I'm pretty new here, but from what I've seen by lurking they seem to discuss tracker drama. It's kind of sad.
I'm just here to see if there's any useful info about private trackers, but it seems like this is a dangerous place just to even be around.
Guys, did the comfy-posters migrate to a different website (such as 8ch4n) or a private IRC or did they just abandon us? I'd love to contribute and this place seems to be going downhill fast. Sorry.

It's easier to check whether or not someone's recruiting if you give me the specific trackers you're interested in since there are no subscriptions for the invite forums.
But as has been said multiple threads earlier, HDB and PTP are currently recruiting and BTN is not.
>>54232570
>which trackers are better than others for content
And for the 'which trackers are better' too, I think the wiki suffices for the most general - books, music, movies, TV - because that doesn't tend to change rapidly over time.

Here is the text in case you were wondering
There is a new /ptg/ meme - "ghostleeching"
https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php/Ghostleech
It appears some redditors are already getting hit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/seedboxes/comments/4gfb80/deluge_dht_pex_and_lsd_disabled_but_still_get_udp/
It also appears that PTP and BTN shutdown to fix this problem. Are other trackers also going to do something about it? I (and I am sure everybody else here) do not want my seedbox being used by some unauthorized
>>54232585
Ah, thanks. Good to know.
I'm also into retro / obscure stuff. Unfortunately I don't think anything for that exists anymore. UndergroundGamer used to be my favorite.
>>54232600
I'm not much into games myself but the general gist of the thread direction is BCG > GGN but I assume that most people are on both.
>>54232608
Yeah, I am on them. I don't think I'll ever be satisfied though since I consider both to be general game trackers.
That's just how it is I guess. The nostalgia from the old days is too strong.
>>54232620
The only other thing I consider somewhat relevant is the infamous Denuvo news about it not being cracked.
>>54232620
UCG seems promising if you want to use BCG and UCG and abandon GGN as UCG has a fairly good interface so far.
>>54232583
Already gone
>>54232589
Lol I knew they would remove that.
>>54232589
>shutdown to fix this problem
lol, what are they going to do? you can't stop ghost leeching.

>>54232685
You might as well close to the tracker to prevent further leaking of the info_hashes. Im pretty sure some dumb fuck started scrapping all of BTNs torrents
and when you have scrapped the entire torrent database AND the top 30% of the peer. You dont need the tracker anymore (until new shit comes out)
When did all these ghostleeching curries invade /ptg/? Go back to shitting on the streets or whatever else you do you dickheads.
>>54232685
You can add scripts to detect ghostleeching prep, but yeah, the only way to fix it is to fork the Bittorrent protocol to harden private swarms.
Which they really should do by now. Imagine how secure they would be if only members could leech and they banned all of the clients that didn't support the authentication method.
>>54232634
Do you mean UltimateGamer.club?
>>54232700
Wouldn't it be smarter to somehow integrate these hashes and peers into a usable IPFS method?
>>54232708
I wouldn't trust somebody like 312c to code this tho.
>>54232714
Yeah, I did. My bad m8.
>>54232693
DONT CLICK THATS A HONEYPOT
DONT CLICK THATS A HONEYPOT
DONT CLICK THATS A HONEYPOT
DONT CLICK THATS A HONEYPOT
DONT CLICK THATS A HONEYPOT
I don't get what bringing down the sites will do, this is a "flaw" with the protocol no? So how can they fix it?
>>54232721
>I wouldn't trust somebody like 312c to code this tho.
He wouldn't do it. They would convince somebody like the libtorrent maintainer to accept an athentication method into libtorrent and then we'd all have to switch to Deluge or qBittorrent or whatever uses the new security measure.
>>54232762
I hope they actually do that. It'd be a good solution to this ghostleech nonsense
>>54232762
They'll probably just add restrictions or add watchdogs on the people who download. torrent files. Maybe we'll have to download 312c spyware in order to download .torrent files to ensure we don't leak the hashes and peers.

Thanks, I might see about checking them out. They do seem to do it out of love, judging from what I read.
Any recommendations for best general private tracker? I guess anything besides IPT?
>>54232784
Dont click.
This /marks/ you
>>54232798
i clicc
>>54232774
They are going to have to create a team that codes that if this /ghostleeching/ meme goes mainstream.
I can see WCD, PTP and BTN working together with the libtorrent maintainer to add a private key exchange to the Bittorrent protocol and then all of us will have to switch to libtorrent-based clients.
At least that will mean that private torrents will finally go completely open source.
>>54232786
>Any recommendations for best general private tracker? I guess anything besides IPT?
Filelist, GFT, and nCore.
>>54232818
This is never going to happen.
>>54232786
>best general private tracker
I think bB, Ncore, Filelist are pretty good. TSH is a good P2P mirror and raiotless like Ncore. There's also PTM. Alpharatio is up and coming.
>>54232839
Let make it mainsteam then. Talk about it everychange you get, in reddit. Once it is mainstream there, talk about it in the trackers
>>54232839
Do you think the torrent protocol will remain the same forever?
Eventually somebody will create a privacy-focused upgrade of the Bittorrent protocol, or a new modern protocol all together and we will all be switching to it.
>>54232818
It would probably be easier to add an option that ignores IPs that aren't in the tracker response on private torrents.
>>54232834
Where to ncore recruit from apart form WCD?
>>54232818
> libtorrent-based
does that include rtorrent? I am always confused with the two libtorrents
>>54232627
Not that anon but, could you tell me some good sites for music that aren't private? I'm looking for a torrent of The Pillows albums, yet I have no experience with private trackers and it seems like a massive hassle trying to get into them. Could you tell where I can find them if I can, seeing how jpopsuki is private now.
>>54232847
>TSH is a good P2P mirror
Fuck yeah it is. There's so much on Torrentshack being mirrored from BTN and there's hardly any stats being recorded.
>>54232870
rutracker and soulseek should have you covered.
>>54232870
http://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2349294
>>54232870
Just use slsk.
>>54232870
Kill yourself anon
>>54232868
libtorrent-rasterbar is the one that deluge and qbittorrent use.
https://github.com/arvidn/libtorrent
libtorrent-rakshasa is the one rtorrent has a the backend.
https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent
Both are possible candidates for a protocol upgrade, but since rakshasa only works on UNIX, then it will probably be rasterbar since Deluge and qBittorrent alone will be enough to replace all the clients on private trackers.
>>54232886
>>54232892
>>54232897
thank you so much
>>54232905
god fucking dammit. I prefer rtorrent to deluge/qbitorrent (and I am sure the seedbox population does too).
>>54232870
For music and books private trackers are pretty much essential to get some things unlike movies/tv where everyone and their mum has access to it on public sources. That being said:
1. Soulseek -- top alternative for WCD. Carries FLAC/V0/320 you name it. Lots of WCDfags on it.
2. Rutracker. -- carries a lot of FLACs, 320 kbps etc → people tend to take these off WCD or WCDfags upload to it. Also your regular PTs incl TPB and Kat.cr
3. Music DDL find this via google eg mp3 yoursongname here. DON'T stick to a list of blogs like /mu/ that's the number one way to miss shit. DL everything with jdownloader first. If there isn't a link but it plays you can rip the song via a debugger
4. I still recommend you get WCD and Anime.bytes and Jpopsuki which will cover about 5-10% of music that the first 3 sources will inevitably miss.
5. For the remaining 1% of songs you can't find you must webrip them. In order of preference I webripped from Rdio (192 kbps - now defunct), Spotify (160 kbps) and Youtube (confirmed shitty transcode). If you have access to QBuz (whatever it's called) or Tidal you can webrip in FLAC.
6. For every song you can't get you must record it from soundcard. (Thus 100% of music found on the internet is covered).
7. Request song/music on WCD.
>>54232942

Forgot to mention that a /ptg/ anon recommends using emule too. Animu music you can also get from baidu (check out the /a/ threads someone will have inevitably posted the link. )
Also /mu/'s archive I forgot to mention.
>>54232939
>god fucking dammit. I prefer rtorrent to deluge/qbitorrent (and I am sure the seedbox population does too).
Eventually, the rtorrent maintainer and all other open source clients like Transmission will accept the new security measure if it is proven to work.
This is all speculation, though. Nobody has said anything about this work being done, but if it is not done, ghostleeching will affect every private tracker.
>>54232949
I wish there was a good place with a list of good DDL sites for music. I've heard the Russians have a good collection.
Is DigitalHive a good private tracker for general stuff? I asked for an invite in the What.CD forum from a recruiter.
>>54232976
It a scene 0day tracker so it's alright. There won't be any p2p stuff there though like IPT, TSH and FL.
>>54232972
I recommend highy searching for everything individually. Searching across one blog will inevitably miss stuff out or the blog could go down and because there are so many sources it is impossible to be comprehensive.
That's why even if you think that WCD/Animebytes/Jpopsuki is a lot of work I still recommend getting them for music, just use it as your ultimate backup in case one source fails. Sure 99% of the time it might be useless but you don't want stuff escaping from your net and with music quite a lot of stuff falls through.
the fuck bbtn is down? it never goes down
how the fuck am I gonna watch gay of thrones now?
>>54232976
No because it's scene only.
>>54232986
>the fuck bbtn is down? it never goes down
>how the fuck am I gonna watch gay of thrones now?
We told you to get an HDBits account as a backup. PTP is down too.
>>54232986
Watch it on your backup tracker. Duh
>>54232942
Wow, thanks I wasn't expecting this much advice form this.
Thank you, I'm just really nervous when it comes to interviews so I think I'll fail it.
>>54232961
>ghostleeching will affect every private tracker.
Ghostleeching has been around for years. Only way to catch it is manual screening.
>>54233020
Im glad its going more mainstream now
>>54233020
/ptg/ is fucked. Ghostleeching will forever be associated with /ptg/ in reddits mind
>>54233011
Have faith anon you'll pass.
Here are my interview notes. http://a.pomf.cat/nhwesx.pdf
Links - these basically show the question style as long as you keep the bitrates in your mind you shouldn't fail. You shouldn't need any of the links EXCEPT sleepysaint's explanation! (That's the eMEQGFMJ pastebin) That guy's GOAT. You may need to explain some of your answers. Spectrals and conversions tend to trip people up the most if you have questions ask in the thread or on /mu/. (I passed on my first go desu.)

Just in case you want to sit it. It's not very scary and you won't have to wait long if you enable notifs in your IRC client.
>>54233011
Dont be nervous. You will fail only if you are nervous.
>>54233037
>/ptg/ is fucked. Ghostleeching will forever be associated with /ptg/ in reddits mind
Never clicking a tracker link in here again. Getting /marked/ is guaranteed now.
>/ptg/ has literally brought down both PTP and BTN for more than 3 days
Now I understand why 312cuck wants to eradicate all of you nerd virgin losers.
>>54233042
>>54233056
So fucking glad I never had to take this test because I got a Bigboyz account instead.
Fucking kek.
>>54233011
Don't worry. I actually fucked up a good number of questions but my interviewer was cool and guided me to the correct answers. They're not looking for a user who can just regurgitate knowledge. They just want to make sure you understand the underlying concepts of MP3, FLAC, bitrates, lossly/lossless etc.
Literally anybody can pass if they read the interview prep. Don't just memorize it tho, understand it.
https://www.whatinterviewprep.com/
Imagine if 312c just decides to treeban and cabalban all /marked/ users to kill most of the ghostleeching.
Say goodbye to your accounts, /marked/fags.
>>54233097
Well yes I say I got in on my first go but I fucked up five. I was also transcoding 64 bit music into 128 bit music using Freemake before I got into What so anon will probably do just fine.
>>54233042
>>54233097
>>54233056
I wasn't expecting all this at all,I was thinking about asking for weeks but I was afraid that I would just get told to fuck off. I wish I had some way to thank you guys.
>>54233097
I was looking at this expecting a test or something of the likes, that is why I was nervous. So you're saying that mostly let you in as long as you aren't some retard?
>>54233107
I hope BTN does that so recruitment can start soon and so that it creates a nice buffer of maximum users vs active users.
>>54233107
there would be too many redditors caught in the crossfire. Many reditors visited /ptg/ after that reddit post and they didnt now what /marked/ was
